SWEAT-T

In 1980, Danya Padilla of Montclair, New Jersey came out with the "SWEAT-T." It was a grey t-shirt with artificial sweat marks under the arms and down the front and back, designed for people who hated exercise but wanted to look like jocks anyway.

I haven't been able to find any pictures of an actual SWEAT-T, but the picture below is what I imagine it must have looked like.

For most of us, the best way to look like a jock would be to lose 50 pounds.

Ah, so that's where that spray-on mud for yuppie tractors came from.
