With every year that passes, Steven Spielberg’s dinosaur classic refuses to get older: Jurassic Park remains a total blockbuster ride, with incredible (still believable) dinosaur effects, iconic characters, and some of the most nail-biting suspense set-pieces of all time. From the thrill of the T-rex break-out, to the climactic Raptors in the kitchen sequence, it’s endlessly rewatchable, capturing all-new generations of film fans as well as those who got to see it on the big screen back in 1993.
It’s not just the dinosaurs themselves that still look great – the ‘90s aesthetic of every part of the park (the Jeeps, the Visitor Centre, the Jurassic Park logo itself) has a real charm to it, and there are all kinds of t-shirts out there bearing that nostalgia-rushing Jurassic iconography. From long-sleeve logo shirts, to designs recreating famous scenes from the film, to t-shirts with niche references to please the die-hard fans, Empire has collected the greatest Jurassic Park t-shirts out there right now – and you don’t even have to travel through a living biological preserve filled with rampaging prehistoric clone creatures to get them. Take a look at our picks below.
