JOURNAL STANDARD revives 80s nostalgia with a fresh [Ghostbusters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-x-ghostbusters-collection) collection combining classic film charm and modern style. This new line of sweatshirts channels the essence of the iconic 1984 movie, adopting a vintage aesthetic that transports owners to the iconic era.

The collection starts with a black sweatshirt featuring the original Ghostbusters logo on the back, paired with a movie quote: 'Are You A God? What Do You Want?' Elsewhere, the classic no-symbol has been revamped from bright red to a dripping, murky green, giving it a fun, gooey touch. Another standout piece features the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man in a city-tormenting pose, complete with the cheeky phrase 'Roast Him.'

The collection also includes a white sweatshirt with the classic logo front and center and the quote “What Do You Want?” featured on the back. Adding a pop of color, the final sweatshirt in teal stands out with its slime logo and a bold illustration of Slimer.

Pre-orders for the JOURNAL STANDARD x Ghostbusters collection are open now.
