Hypercolor Shirts

Additional Info

via Wikipedia
Hypercolor was a line of clothing, mainly T-shirts and shorts, that changed color with heat. They were manufactured by Generra and marketed in the United States as Generra Hypercolor or Generra Hypergrafix and outside the US as Global Hypercolor. They contained a thermochromic pigment made by Matsui Shikiso Chemical of Japan, that changed between two colors–one when cold, one when warm. The shirts were produced with several color change choices from beginning in 1991. The effect could easily be permanently damaged, particularly when the clothing was placed in a hotter than recommended wash. In 2003, Wickedglow Industries, Inc, under the trade marked name Body Faders, introduced a completely revised and reformulated hypercolor line of clothing. Superior in color-fastness and durability over the Generra product, the Michigan company continues to produce apparel, screen printing and accessories to this day.
