| A Ringer T-shirt is a T-shirt in which the shirt itself is one color, but the collar and the end of the sleeves are of a different color, usually a completely contrasting color. Traditionally, the most common ringer colors were white with black rings. The Ringer was introduced in the United States in the mid-1960s and gained popularity in the late 1960s, especially among youth and the rock-and-roll subculture. The Ringer grew in popularity even more as the 1970s began and remained popular throughout that decade. But in the 1980s, other fashions eclipsed the ringer T-shirt. |
