+1 to the first person who correctly identifies what specific element of this T-shirt tickles my pickle, someone who got into computing in the very early 80s:
I don't know the technicalities but the way the cloud's outline is sorta split up as would often happen on old monitors.

Due to the way color works in NTSC and PAL, home computers of the early 80s displayed unusual color artifacts when attempting to draw B&W graphics on the screen of a color monitor. The Apple II, in particular, tended to leave green and purple edges on the border of high-rez graphics and 80 column text
Programmers eventually learned to exploit this artifact, and for this reason, a "black and white" graphic displayed on a composite color monitor often produced superior color rendering to a "color" graphic displayed on an RGB monitor.
