Awesome shirt!
At my elementary school in Seattle in the late 80s to early 90s, our gym had a room with shelves full of roller skates in all sizes for children. They were a brown color so that narrows down to what era they were created(if anyone knows?). Our gym classes on Fridays were just skating sessions. When it was a gym day people made sure to wear socks, or else you couldn’t skate. Although I preferred the gym class earlier in the week where we learned to play different sports and discovered my love of volleyball, which I played up to high school.
