Atari Arcade Game T-Shirt Collection by HOMAGE

HOMAGE has released this awesome officially licensed Atari t-shirt collection that celebrates the golden age of arcade games. Atari, founded in 1972, was the pioneering video game company. With classics like Pong, Frogger, Ms. Pac-Man and Space Invaders in their hall of fame, it’s no wonder that Atari is up there in the pantheon of gaming legends. Now you can pay homage to those legendary games with these three fantastic t-shirts!

Along with the classic Atari logo tee, HOMAGE has released t-shirts for iconic arcade games Asteroids and Centipede. Pew! Pew! Pew! If only we could drop another quarter in and play these Atari classics right now.

Star Wars x Super7 T-Shirt Collection Series 1 by Brian Flynn

Earlier this week Super7 announced its newest collaboration with Lucasfilm, a line of Star Wars designer t-shirts! Star Wars x Super7 Collection Series 1 includes three designs, “Star Wars Arcade,” “AT-AT Boombox” and “Camo Walker,” all designed by Super7 found Brian Flynn. Of the three designs my favorite is definitely “Star Wars Arcade” because of the nostalgic factor. I freaking loved that game as a kid! If you can’t tell, it’s basically a recreated screencap from the 1983 Atari game. From a design standpoint, the coolest tee is the “Camo Walker,” which features an AT-ST Walker with a camouflage pattern of the forest of Endor (complete with speeder bike silhouettes) contained within.

Normally The Blot would be super excited about this release. I love Super7 and I love Star Wars, so this has to be good right? But for some reason these first three designs just don’t do it for me. There are so many Star Wars t-shirts hitting the market these days you’ve really got to come up with something unique to get fans excited. I also think the plethora of “a t-shirt a day” websites has spoiled us. Their unlicensed designs have really pushed the boundaries of t-shirt designs and mash-ups. This just feels like a missed opportunity.

All three Star Wars x Super7 Collection Series 1 t-shirts go on sale next Thursday, March 1st, at the Super7 online store. Each shirt comes in sizes S-2XL and will retail for $25 each.

Threadless - “This Game Sucks” New Video Game Inspired T-Shirt

The Blot’s a sucker for video game themed t-shirts, and “This Game Sucks” from Threadless.com is a “must get” if for no other reason than the sheer number of classic arcade game characters incorporated in the design. From old school legends like Pac-Man, Q-Bert, Frogger and Dig Dug to Nintendo mainstays like Mario, Link, Mega Man and Donkey Kong, how could you not like this shirt!?! It even throws in some 90’s era icons like Street Fighter’s Blanka and Sonic the Hedgehog!

“This Game Sucks” by David Creighton-Pester

Normally, I would have already purchased this geek-tastic shirt, but there’s one thing holding me back: the tee’s dreadful color. I can’t stand the creme colored shirt Threadless chose for this design. Here’s hoping “This Game Sucks” sells out quickly so Threadless can reprint it on a color tee I don’t mind wearing.

You can purchase the “This Game Sucks” t-shirt at Threadless.com on sale for just $12 (normally it’s $18). The shirt comes in both guys and girls styles, sizes S-3XL.

Pac-Man Hooded Sweatshirt

Sticking with today’s theme of classic arcade game related products, The Blot just had to talk about this awesome Pac-Man Hoodie. I think this black and blue hoodie based on the Namco video game has been out for a while, but it’s new to me which means it’s also new to The Blot Says… Pac-Man is THE quintessential 80’s video game and this hoodie’s crazy design is like wearing the actual game.


As you can see from the pictures, the Pac-Man Hooded Sweatshirt has the Pac-Man game board all over its front, back and hood, and even features Pac-Man being chased by those pesky ghosts, Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde. If you’re a gamer and love those classic arcade/Atari games then this hoodie is for you.


You can purchase the Pac-Man Hoodie from 80sTees.com for $45.00 each.
