Oakley Thermonuclear Protection
Remember those ubiquitous Oakley "Thermonuclear Protection" stickers from way back in the mid-late 80's (early 90's maybe)?
Anyway, I saw one this morning, proudly adorning the back window of some nondescript SUV, and it bought back a flood of memories...Oakley Frogskins anyone?
And do you remember before Oakley made sunglasses they were most notable for their wicked cool moulded handle bar grips for MX and BMX?! I so wanted some of those.
I did a Google image search for Oakley Thermonuclear Protection and came up empty (all 35 pages of results)...amazing, until you think that the internet wasn't in the public domain back then.
I did however find this interesting story about the history of Oakley. A good read.

I saw one sticker time ago, I really liked it…
Ols school rules.
I remember them and they used to annoy the hell out of me, I used to wonder why did people want to stick decals on their car windows to advertise these damn Oakley sunglasses, and what was so special about them anyway?

I still have one!! I was looking through a box from the 80s and found a perfect lime green “Thermonuclear Protection by Oakley†Bumper sticker. Pretty cool?
the most excellent placement of the old school “ThermoNuclear Protection” sticker was on the back of a truck at Naval Station Norfolk… under the sticker was a second sticker that said “US Submarine Force” gotta love it!
