ACCEPT meets DIRE STRAITS vtg tee (c1980): WTF shirt of the day

Well, here's something else.

Coming from a circa 1980 / 1980s French collection, here comes an Accept (front) / Dire Straits (back) mash-up tee. Both prints are transfers, and I can picture its original owner visiting a heavy metal merch' store like L'Indien or Black Cat in early 80s France, where you could get professional transfers of your choice applied to tees etc, asking for an Accept front and Dire Straits back... Or, more probably, purchasing the tee with the Accept transfer only, and heat-transferring Dire Straits later on with an iron (it looks more like the kind of photo transfer you'd get as a freebie in magazines or that you could order alone from mailorders).

Still, it's the first time that I see this two-flying-Vs-struck-by-lightning design, be it on period shirts or patches.

Printed on soft material, it's in an excellent condition considering its age, with no defects that I could see - see pictures for reference.

Size tag states Large. Actual measurements as follows:
- Pit to pit: 43 cm.
- Top of collar (back) to bottom hem: 70 cm.
