Classy, Classy Shadaloo Street Fighter Shirts

Luke Plunkett — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 23:30:00 MDT

Yup. They're not just classy. They're classy classy. They're part of an upcoming Street Fighter II line by Triumvir, which will be out later in the year. These shirts, however, (also available in black, with matching caps) will be available this week at Comic Con. If you've always harboured a desire to be part of Bison's shady gang but lacked the physical chops, these are the safe, legal option for those feeling the need to nevertheless "represent".

New King Of Games Tees Available Now!! Hey, ...

Michael McWhertor — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 16:40:00 MDT

New King Of Games Tees Available Now!! Hey, remember when the King of Games announced it was making that sweet Kid Icarus tee? It's available right now, should you have the 4900 yen (plus shipping!) required to make it yours. No, not cheap. KOG also drops word that older styles have been reprinted, if there's some officially licensed Nintendo T you've always wanted.

Pac-Man T-Shirt Spreads The Word

Mike Fahey — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 10:40:00 MDT

Would it be a Friday without somebody posting a picture of a t-shirt? Of course it would. Not even Pac-Man himself has the power to warp time and space, but he might just have the power...to move you. Kotakuite Annissa spotted this Pac-Man-inspired t-shirt in a rather peculiar place.

After being dragged into one of the local Christian books stores by a relative I spotted this gem of a shirt. Torn between horror and facination I ended up snapping a few photos of it. These two are the only ones that turned out well enough for you to actually read the text under Blinky, Inky, and Clyde.

I snagged the best of the two pictures, but in case you still can't read it, the quote is "But I tell you who hear me, love your enemies, do good to those that hate you. - Luke 6:27". I've been checking chat logs all morning but still can't see where Luke said that. Seems a bit out of character really. I'll follow up with him later.

The King Of Games Does Kid Icarus, Kids

Michael McWhertor — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 19:00:50 MDT

On the left, The King of Games' new Kid Icarus t-shirt. On the right, new kid sizes of The King of Games t-shirts. Both go on sale (in Japan) next Friday at midnight Japan time. If you've ever thought to yourself, "I've always wanted a rather expensive Kid Icarus t-shirt" or "I'm a little person and would like a Mario Bros. t-shirt" you now know where to go. No word just yet on if they'll show up in the English language shop, but we'll bug KOG until they tell us.

Oh, they look quite nice don't they? The Kid Icarus tee will run you about $46 USD, with kiddy stuff at about $37 USD. Totally fair! Yep. More than fair.

Hang-On Shirt Bundled With Class, Not Master System

Luke Plunkett — Wed, 21 May 2008 06:20:00 MDT

What better way to show your love for the world's finest pack-in game than with these Super Hang-On shirts, the latest in King of Games' "Get Ready" line of Sega tees. It comes in a fetching shade of black, like you can see above, but also in white, should you be the type to make it all the way through a ribs night without a stain. As with all KoG tees, expect small sizes, hefty prices and limited availability, so don't dilly-dally.

Take A Look At Uniqlo's New MGS4 Shirts

Luke Plunkett — Tue, 13 May 2008 07:20:00 MDT

Announced during the MGS4 party earlier today, Konami have teamed up with Japanese label Uniqlo to release a range of snazzy new MGS shirts. There are six designs to choose from, with each design coming in two colours, for a grand total of twelve shirts you can view on the internet, dream of buying then - whether due to lack of finances or lack of Japanese language skills - never buy.

The ABCs of Gaming

Owen Good — Sat, 10 May 2008 18:00:00 MDT

And to wrap things up today, here's "The ABCs of Gaming," from a t-shirt design contest at Shirt.woot.com. The contest closed this week. The latest on the site shows another shirt claiming 2nd place in this derby so, who knows, maybe it won. I'm sure the ordering information will follow.

For now, take a long look and see if you can name all 26. I can name about 19 offhand. There's a spoiler solution after the jump.

After This, I Don't Want My GTA IV Collector's Edition Anymore

Luke Plunkett — Mon, 05 May 2008 07:00:00 MDT

Nope. Look, the lock-box, the artbook, they were all nice, but if I'd known that pre-ordering the game via Rockstar's own online store would get me this sweet Burger Shot t-shirt instead, I wouldn't have bothered with that whole midnight launch business. Reader Sulk sends these pics of his shirt, which while being far too large for his thin, Canadian frame is still an ideal size for framing and eternal admiration.

The Hundreds Do Rampage

Michael McWhertor — Fri, 02 May 2008 20:40:00 MDT

California-centric label The Hundreds—which has established a rabid fanbase in its few years on the streetwear scene—riffs some Rampage with its Summer line-up. Fans of George, Lizzie and Ralph can now hang with the Fairfax and Rosewood crowd without fear of persecution. Further proof that $30 is not too much for a quality t-shirt! Digital Gravel has it now in three colorways, if you're interested, but expect other boutique retailers to get their shipments soon.

More Hidden Streetwear In GTA IV

Luke Plunkett — Fri, 02 May 2008 04:30:00 MDT

Just as a quick follow-up to last night's post, it looks like Rockstar have collaborated with a lot more than just RockersNYC when clothing the denizens of Liberty City. Players have since spotted some of the game's NPCs sporting LRG's "Dead Serious" hoodies, which means the game's probably full of this kind of unannounced, niche-targeted advertising. Sneaky, and no doubt equal parts fascinating to marketing students and streetwear fashionistas alike.

Sega King of Games Shirts Go International

Brian Ashcraft — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 23:00:52 MDT

KING OF GAMES shirts. KING OF GAMES shirts. KING OF GAMES shirts.

"8-Bit Investigation" Shirt Is Worth Investigating

Mark Wilson — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 10:40:00 MDT

"8-Bit Investigation" is among the more clever pixel art designs we've seen in some time. A tribute to Sierra's adventure games gone by, the shirt explores the aftermath of one character's graphic (pun definitely intended) fall from a building. From the splattered pixels on the pavement to the pixel puking in the background, it's another one of those almost obnoxiously cute designs that the Threadless community is known for. $20, but I wish it came in other colors than gray.

You Know You Want Official Devil May Cry Cardigans

Luke Plunkett — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 02:30:00 MDT

The Devil May Cry series has been a lotta things, but masculine is not one of them. Something about all those exposed chests and red coats and wonderful haircuts. So it's poignant that the official Devil May Cry range of menswear - due to be released in Japan next month - will forgo hoodies and caps in favour of gear including a couple of exquisite cardigans and leather-pocketed polo shirts. With tiny, elegant belts attached, of course. They'll come in two styles (Dante and Nero), and at a price only the most fashion-conscious Capcom aficionado could bear to pay, with the polos priced at USD$75 and the cardigans at USD$105 (Nero) and USD$125 (Dante). Looks a lot, but for the convenience of having a belt on your shirt, it's totally worth it.

Target Dump Indie Gaming Shirts

Luke Plunkett — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 21:40:00 MDT

Hope you rushed in and bought some of those indie gaming shirts while you could, because no sooner do we start heaping praise upon Target for selling them than we hear they've pulled the shirts. Because they weren't selling. One of the developers whose game was featured has told Boing-Boing Gadgets:

[EGP T-shirts] sold slightly less then what Target views as good enough to keep in store. But [the distributors] are going to try the line out at places like Hot Topic and Urban Outfitters in the coming months. We will see how it goes.

Hot Topic? Surely things haven't gotten that dire, have they?

So Your Girl Needs A New Shirt?

Luke Plunkett — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 23:30:00 MST

Say there's a special someone in your life. That special someone is partial to the ol' video gaming. Thing is, her wardrobe...it's kinda ratty. One part of you finds that endearing - in a cute, bohemian kinda way - the other half just thinks it's kinda ratty. That other half may want to buy her a new shirt. One that both gets her a new shirt and manages to cram a shitload of gaming controllers (including the Boomerang!) into its design. If so, you really can't go past this one, from FIFTY24SF. You can get it at the link below (search for FIFTY24SF in women's shirts).

Of course, if you are a girl, please disregard above advice and head straight for the checkout. If you're an incredibly petit man...hey, it's worth a shot.

Steampunk Space Invaders Tee Ready To Invade Your Closet

Michael McWhertor — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 15:40:24 MST

The Space Invaders inspired design that we posted about late last year has become an official Threadless item, ready to be snapped up by t-shirt fans with an extra $15 (or $17, for the ladies) in their pockets. Putting me in poppy orange is like putting me in madras, so I'll be passing, but retro fans with an eye for steampunk may find it suitable enough. Everyone else seemed to like it at the time, so a link to the online haberdasher is provided below.

GameSetApparel Adds New Fine Wearables To Fantasy Line

Michael McWhertor — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 15:30:00 MST

Former Kotaku guest editor and chronic workaholic Simon Carless let us know today that the GameSetApparel project has officially expanded, fulfilling the promise of four limited-edition t-shirts made in December. Rounding out the "Games That Never Were" series—and joining the already released Polybius tee are three fresh shirts. Hostage Negotiator II by Alien Hominid artist Dan Paladin, Grabungadung by Schadenfreude Interactive and Glorkian Warrior by comic artist James Kochalka comprise the remainder of fantasy games from creative minds.

Each are differing levels of snazzy and should go a long way to making your torso and shoulder area less naked. Details on each of the limited t-shirts are available at the official site, as are handy ordering instructions.

Arkanoid Tee Specifically For Streetwear, Russian Bear Fans

Michael McWhertor — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 19:40:00 MST

While I'm a casual fan of block-busting arcade games like Breakout and Arkanoid, I'm a much bigger fan of clothing label Mishka, maker of fine t-shirts. Fellow Kotaku Tower inhabitant Luke Plunkett has more than once suggested that I attempt to seek a sponsored endorsement deal from the company in an attempt to offset the outflow of cash that goes in the Brooklyn-based company's direction. So far, no dice. While the brand generally focuses on things like metal, horror movies and He-Man, it's first video game related tee goes for an Arkanoid vibe. Yes, that Vaus at the bottom, tackling the label's Bear Mop logo... which has exploded in a very un-Arkanoid fashion. For those carrying on to the Mishka web site, keep in mind that it can be NSFW at times, so browser beware.

Hey, Look, It's Another Threadless Video Game Shirt

Michael McWhertor — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 15:30:19 MST

The design community at Threadless has approved yet another video game themed design, this one based on classic block dropper Tetris. Actually, it could very well be based on Technos' Block Out, a three dimensional take on the genre that was a personal favorite during my arcade employment duties. Anyway, back on topic, the design "I Hate Packing" is ready for your buying pleasure with Threadless listing all sizes as having "plenty in stock." It's cute, as are all things Threadless.

GameSetWatch Spins Off Apparel Line

Michael McWhertor — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 18:40:00 MST

My philosophy on life is this: you can never be too thin, too rich or have too many t-shirts. Fortunately for those with bare torsos and a taste for gaming, Simon Carless from GameSetWatch has announced the availability of the site's newest venture, a line of limited t-shirts known as GameSetApparel. The first of four, available now, highlights one of gaming's more infamous urban legends, Polybius. Legend has it, Polybius was an arcade game so frightening that merely playing could lead to insanity, resulting in the game being pulled from public display.

Only 111 of the Polybius shirts are available, but Simon and GSA plan to release another three designs this January, all part of the Games That Never Were line and all featuring the artwork of well known artists. Should you be willing to take a chance, all four are up for pre-order now.

Good news, but as a SMALL t-shirt wearer, I'm more excited about the rumors I've been hearing of the GameSetWatch monster truck.

Brütal Legend's Brutally Early Bonus

Michael McWhertor — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 15:20:12 MDT

Double Fine Production's Brütal Legend doesn't have a nailed down release date, but we can expect it some time in 2008. For those willing to let Gamestop hold onto sixty of their American dollars until it's eventually released, they'll snag themselves a snazzy black t-shirt with the game's bloody logo on the front and protagonist splashed across the back. Unfortunately, a trio of Gamestop, Sierra and Double Fine suck some of the cool right out of it.

The shirt giveaway is limited to the first 666 folks who pre-order, so don't sleep. Keep in mind that if Brütal Legend logos are your bag, shirts already decorated with such a thing are available at the Double Fine Shop. Enjoy being clothed!

Brutal Legend with Bonus! [Gamestop - thanks, Jane!]

Pac-Man T Ready For Your Mass Consumption

Michael McWhertor — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 15:40:01 MDT

Jessica Fink's fabulous "Ghost Rider" design was snubbed by the pun-hungry voting masses at Threadless, but that didn't stop her from printing up her own batch of the Pac-Man inspired tee for those of you who loved it to death when we posted about it a year ago. It's up for sale at her Etsy shop, with printing numbers well into the "lots." Don't sleep on it, though, as the trademark stewards may be fashioning an e-mail within the day.

MOTHER Shirts to Hold You Over

Brian Ashcraft — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 05:00:55 MDT

Consider this a consolation prize of sorts. With MOTHER 3 not getting an English language release anytime soon, Kyoto-based shirt maker King of Games has *get this* shirts that should make you feel better! The company's latest line is MOTHER. For those who've never purchased a KOG shirts, be aware they not only look cool as fuck, but they're made from the highest quality material, come in a groovy box and are totally Nintendo approved. Besides MOTHER 3 ULTIMATE CHIMERA shirts, they got MOTHER 1+2 as well. Pre-orders for them kick off October 10th at midnight with shirts shipping in November. They're gonna go fast!

Community t-shirt vendor Threadless is no stranger to video game collaborations/sponsorships. They've held design contests centered around themes like PaRappa the Rapper, LocoRoco and Bioshock—and they ain't stoppin' now. Partnering with E For All for their latest competition, budding Illustrator users can win fabulous prizes, including a Wii, cold hard cashola, and tickets to the E For All expo.

So make with the puns and emo imagery, kids, and let's do this.

Mario Tee is Why I'm Hot

Mark Wilson — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 13:20:56 MDT

For those looking to buy a retro tee that will (hopefully) make little to no sense in a few more weeks, we highly advise you purchase this shirt from Snorg Tees. Labeled "this is why I'm hot" over a fireflower...well, you get it.

But we would have preferred if the artist had referenced Nelly's 'Hot in Here,' because apparently that melody will be resurrected every summer from now to eternity, keeping you in constant, trend-setting fashion whenever it gets hot outside. Available now for about $17.

PS. We love you Nelly, promise.

Crazy Expensive Gundam Shirts

Brian Ashcraft — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 06:20:49 MDT

The most I've paid for a t-shirt? Probably a hundred bucks or so for a Paul Smith shirt. That's nothing! Bandai and fashion maker Mastermind have joined forces to create pricey shirts. Swarovski crystal will be hand-switched into Gundam or Zaku design, costing an estimated ¥200,000 (US $1,690). Nutty! The "cheaper" versions will use glass instead of actual crystal and retail for ¥38,000 (US $320). Nutty, too!

Doki Doki Majo Shinpan Goods Rush

Michael McWhertor — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 20:40:37 MDT

SNK Playmore's inappropriate touching game is getting the useless trinkets ("goods") treatment with Doki Doki Majo Shinpan crap flying at us from all angles. Following the game's release to the delight of Japan's horniest creeps comes the t-shirt, the mouse pad, the cell phone strap, the mug and five types of phone cards. An art book and the already revealed CD soundtrack are also available.

The mouse pad is, of course, of the soft breast design, providing ample support for your wrist between the questionably legal boobs of one of the game's molestation candidates. The t-shirt reads "Touch! Catch! Witch!" and sports a dual-screened design for proudly displaying one's unfortunate game purchasing choices.

We have already put our orders in with Bashcraft, hoping that he'll secure at least one of each for his trip across the Pacific. Fingers crossed that Customs lets them pass!

The King Of Games Brings Back Nintendo Classic Tees

Michael McWhertor — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 18:20:28 MDT

If you were too slow to have picked up one the many coveted Nintendo shirts designed by The King of Games, you'll soon have your chance to make reparations for your mistakes. The The King of Games royalty have reprinted a number of their most sought after shirts, including the original Mother 1+2 Starman tee, the Legend of Zelda 20 Anniversary tee and the Super Mario Bros. Fantastic Adventure tee. There are a dozen re-releases due to hit the online store on July 1st, so get your credit cards warmed up. While lovely and well-designed, The King of Games does not come cheap!

In other news out of the KOG camp, the t-shirt maker is planning to ~~sell~~ give away The King of Games book covers starting on July 14th—but only to Japanese consumers. Yep. Book covers. The Japanese love 'em! I'm not sure why, but they're everywhere.

Since I haven't bought a t-shirt in over a week, I think it's high time I make with the credit card abuse and snag that Fantastic Adventure number.

Here's a nice weekend craft for all you olde shcool video game crafters. Lenore at Hacker Zen has made these awesome 8-bit Mario and Peach shirts using a few household sundries and acrylic fabric paint. The end result is really terrific and nothing wears better than something you made yourself. This way you won't be in danger of going to a party and finding three other people wearing that Pac-Man shirt you got from Target.

Lenore gives step by step instructions for you folks who are willing to put down the controller for a few hours and dedicate yourself to the project. But for god's sake DON'T USE PUFF PAINT. Flynn De Marco

A collaboration between cutesy clothing line Paul Frank Industries and PaRappa The Rapper creator Rodney Greenblatt has resulted in this fine-looking PaRappa t-shirt, planned as a promotional giveaway this summer.

The shirt will be up for grabs at various unnamed online events and at this summer's social gatherings Wizard World, ComiCon, LollaPalooza, and PAX. It's designed to help promote the upcoming remake release of the original PaRappa the Rapper for the PSP shipping in mid-July.

Now how should I go about acquiring one...? Michael McWhertor

Kim Phu — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 10:40:00 MDT

Okay, so not many people were impressed with the Original Gamester shirt yesterday, so lucky for you and American Express that Stephen over at Aeropause has compiled a list of places where you can pick up more satisfactory gaming threads. They range from the overlooked (like a Pac Man ghost shirt he picked up at Target of all places), to the painful (there was mention of going into a Hot Topic store). Die-hard t-shirt collectors should take a look at the list and decide what they want to add to their coveted wardrobe. Oh, and if you are going to actually step foot in a Hot Topic, try not to look at the employees in the eye. Legend has it that you will turn into stone. Or a goth. I can't remember which, but either way it's scary. Kim Phu

Threadless and their endless supply of graphic tees... Once in a while you can find some real gems.

As far as printed black tees go, I'd put it in the closet rotation. Kim Phu

The Worst Mario T-Shirt Ever

Michael McWhertor — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 14:40:31 MDT

Impeccable taste and sartorial elegance aren't qualities one's born with—they're learned, for the most part. Fortunately, I've developed an almost superhuman taste for dressing well, but even one who hasn't studied in the fashion arts can likely agree, this is the worst Mario t-shirt ever.

Combining a Mario that looks far more Wario-esque with money—the current artistic inspiration for commercial hip-hop that isn't about rims—it also adds the popular "G's up" creed to a giant gold necklace. Of course, it comes in XL, XXL and XXXL only, so one can perfect their adult toddler look. Also comes in black.

Final Score: 1/10. Michael McWhertor

Mii Shirt Finally Brings Wii Puns To Torsos

Michael McWhertor — Tue, 01 May 2007 18:40:03 MDT

If the world is lacking in something, it isn't "funny" t-shirts. Nor are there too few Wii puns out there. Fortunately, Nerdy Shirts has found a proper place for the global overstock of both, combining Wii jokes and screenprinted hilarity in one garment. Their "Mii Love You Long Time" effort is now available, eliciting titters and groans from both t-shirt camps.
