M Is for Maya Vintage Sesame Street T‑Shirt – Retro Elmo Throwback Tee

For everyone who grew up on the “old school” Sesame Street I got a deep cut for you. The “M Is for Maya” adult tee is my attempt to immortalize and bring attention to one of my favorite moments in PBS history. Maya Angelou shows up on Sesame Street and played hand games with Elmo. My kids love this moment, and I'm a sucker for Sesame Street and Maya Angelou is one of my favorite people of all time, so it was a no-brainer for me.

The design brings that classic 70s‑inspired typography and color palette triggering all those nostalgia tingles that remind us of doing mazes on the backs of cereal boxes and sitting on the floor looking up at cartoons.

This isn’t a mass‑produced character shirt; it’s a one‑of‑a‑kind, cartoon‑style tribute you’re not going to stumble across in your favorite thrift store, but it’s still priced like an everyday tee.

Throw it on with jeans, a cardigan, or your favorite beat‑up sneakers and you’ve got instant conversation starter energy—other Maya fans, writers, and Sesame Street kids‑turned‑parents are going to light up when they see it. It’s nostalgia, literary love, and our history all thrown into one fly package.
