Vintage-inspired fencing tee with retro sunset stripes and silhouetted fencers in mid-match—a classic design for fencers who love timeless style.
The story behind this design
Two fencer silhouettes face off across crossed épées, rendered in solid black against a vibrant backdrop of horizontal stripes in cyan, yellow, orange, and coral tones. The word 'fencing' anchors the design at the top in all caps. This is pure retro energy—the kind of color palette and stripe treatment that evokes vintage athletic wear from the seventies and eighties, yet the fencing imagery keeps it specific and contemporary. The symmetry of the two fencers meeting at crossed blades creates visual balance and tension, perfect for a sport built on duel and dialogue. It's bold without being shouty, and works as both a love letter to the sport's history and a nod to timeless design.
Who it's for
Fencers who appreciate vintage aesthetics and want something that honors the sport's classical traditions will gravitate toward this. It suits anyone drawn to retro color stories and nostalgic sports imagery. Great as a gift for a longtime fencer, a coach with an eye for design, or someone building a collection of vintage-inspired athletic wear. Also appeals to people who love the visual language of seventies and eighties graphic design beyond just the fencing community.
