For a long time, you could buy own-brand fashion t-shirts with the number 76 on them from high street chains in the UK. Many different styles. Now, I was born in 1976, so I noticed this perhaps more than I otherwise might. I know it’s the year of the US Bicentennial, which may have introduced it into design vocabulary in a way that wasn’t clearly defined. But I could never quite put my finger on it. I still occasionally see a generic 76 and wonder what’s going on.
