Today at work, I saw a guy wearing a black gaming shirt. It had the xbox controller all over it. :D

Note to Digital Gravel (if any of you are reading): that shirt = not so great for the ladies. But I would LOVE it as a bag!

OMG that is UGLIEST thing ever. It burns my retinas, its the trainwreck you can't look away from. I pity the poor girl or guy that gets this. I mean just look at it, fashion may cry. Correction Fashion will cry.

... all of you complaining about the shirt design are making me feel like an even bigger nerd, consistently more aware of how much I want to buy game-related clothing...

What I'm saying is that I actually like that shirt, and would wear it if I had one. I don't think it looks that bad, but I prefer bigger prints to smaller prints anyways.

Pretty ugly. As much as I love controllers, I don't like this shirt. Now maybe if it had only the Rez controller on it, I could see myself wearing it.

Lots of old school controllers there, that rocks.

I couldn't believe that the Colecovision Super Action controller was front & center! And not too far away are both the default Colecovision controller and the Intellivision controller.

Actually I think if you combined that with a proper matching overshirt worn unbuttoned it wouldnt be too bad looking.

Finding the matching overshirt would be the hard part though.

@Dauragon88: There's still a disgusting lack of the Dreamcast and Saturn controllers, and the seemingly smaller images on the shirt make it look far too tacky. If they were bigger like the women's version, it wouldn't look too bad.

Also, nice color options.

TalKeaton — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 06:14:33 MST

@TheGamesta: You are correct, that's a Colecovision controller, though not the default one that came with the system. I was never able to find one o' those for my Colecovision, but one of my friends has one (which I make a point of trying to steal from her whenever I come over).

@Seiven: That red swirly controller I think is a special controller for the Colecovision required to play games such as Rocky(if i remember correctly).

As for the shirt... its ugly as hell. My gf would slap me if I bought that for her, and rightfully so!

Is that the six button Genesis controller on the left breast? If so, I'd say Sega must have paid good money for that placement.
