Gaming/Nerdy Apparel

edited July 2007 in Games and Technology
A while ago there was an awesome G&T thread in which people would post pictures of and links to the best gaming shirts and accessories on the web. It's a shame that it's gone and I think it's due a revival.

In short: post links to cool nerdy clothes you own or would like to own.

This Zelda 20th Anniversary tee from The King of Games.

And I just ordered this Original Gamester tee from Threadless.

    I have some PA shirts and a large amount of four or five year old superhero shirts from here that are getting pretty ratty now. Looks like they lost their Marvel license now so they don't have any of the neat Hulk, Thor, Punisher, Fantastic 4, Spider-Man, or Iron Man shirts I bought way back when. I guess they still have the DC license and a new View Askew one, so I might be buying some more shirts sometime soon. I know it's not strictly gaming, but it's definitely in the same "Hey, can you explain to me what your shirt says/means." questions ballpark.

    I have one of your shirts in the post to me, Moss.

    I want that one in your avatar.

    But it is always out of stock all the time always.


    Also www.80stees.com is a pretty good website for dorky shirts.

    even through the thread title says "gaming apparel," the OP simply says "nerdy clothes."

    I'm going to go the latter route and brag about my "will it blend" shirt and my two "legends of the hidden temple" shirts (green monkeys and purple parrots).

    I changed the thread title to accommodate your particular needs.

    I'm also working on opening my own nerdy clothes store at the moment. We've already finished Zelda, Streetfighter and Naruto shirts.

    Drop naruto from your product line and you've sold me!

    My brother-in-law got a shirt for christmas a couple years ago. It just said "The enemy's gate is down." I've had more people ask me what that shirt meant than my one I got from J-list with Lego GWB and the word "blockhead" in katakana.

    Yeah, I thought there was definitely a market for some gaming tees that were, you know, actually wearable. Sticking clear of copyright infringement can be kinda difficult, but as long as it's not too flagrant and you use your own art and keep it all vaguely parodic, it's all good.

    Moss. I have been viewing the shirts on your website, and I would be a customer of this new business of yours.

    In fact, I already own your 'Zombies' design.

    My wife also got me a ringer tee once that had a pic of a generic, no-name NES cart with a caption that said "Works Better When Blown".

    It was over a lot of people's heads, but when someone got it, it was glorious.

    Wow, awesome. The Street Fighter shirt is awesome, and it's getting a lot of respect, but that Zelda design is tops for me.
