Today's critically acclaimed dramas and edgy comedies may have launched a new golden age of television, but when it comes to shows and cartoons, everybody knows the '90s were all that!
Nickelodeon's '90s lineup was chock-full of awesome and adorable characters, from the squeaky voiced Rugrats, Arnold with his football-shaped head, real life 'toons come to life on "The Adventures of Pete & Pete", the feline/canine CatDog, the mild-mannered wallaby Rocko, beaver bros Daggett and Norbert Beaver, and Nick's original best buds, Ren & Stimpy.
In celebration of Nickelodeon's hit retro shows, Threadless has launched the "Nickelodeon Design Challenge", a brand-new tee design challenge which is asking Classic Nickelodeon fans to design and submit a tee inspired by a '90s Nickelodeon show!
As part of the challenge, designers can pick from a range of hit classic Nick shows - the Nickelodeon original animated series (Nicktoons) "Aaahh!!! Real Monsters", "Angry Beavers", "CatDog", "Hey Arnold!", "The Ren & Stimpy Show", "Rocko's Modern Life" & "Rugrats" and the live-action Nickelodeon series "The Adventures Of Pete & Pete" - to design their Nickelodeon T-shirt on.
However, to be eligible to enter, artists need to use their original artwork, not use adult references, not use any logos in their design, and not use any actor likenesses in designs based on "The Adventures of Pete & Pete".
