ANOTHER GAMES T-SHIRT COMPANY WANTS A FREE ADVERT
This one said we could have a free t-shirt as a reward…
But there’s nothing there for us. We don’t really want to walk around the local area with a three-year-old Eurogamer forum in-joke emblazoned upon our chest. See if there’s something in there for you here. They do at least appear to be competently produced to a Western standard.

wow, looking at most them just made me cringe at the thought of the zany crazy guys that came up with/plagiarised them from similar shitty game t-shirt companies.
It’s like they’ve seen this list and purposely tried to one-up it with even worse ‘gamer’ ‘in jokes’

Hummm.
Maybe the Bioshock one at a push.
Or maybe the Achievement whore one as a gift for someone else.
Whilst they’re rather poor, it’s handy to have something to mow the lawn in, rather than getting grass stains on something decent.

Very poor. You throw this sort of shit up on a forum, not a t-shirt in the real world.

I bought a 2007-2007 RIP shirt, that’s the only gamser shirt anyone could ever need.

How about some UK:R shirts? We can get everyone (well all 7 people that read the site and post under different names) to state that they would like to buy a UK:R t-shirt and then after having printed 100 of them, Zorg will be left with 93.

Just like last time. I don’t think he’ll fall for it again.

The flame one is that only one that looks even remotely wearable. I’ve got nothing against game t-shirts in principle, but why is it so hard to make one that isn’t fucking awful?
I suppose it isn’t, really – those King of Games shirts are usually quite nice, and so are the ones Uniqlo used to sell, and the ones Keita Takahashi designed. Maybe the solution is only allowing the Japanese to design them.

I’d like to do more, but haven’t got any “ideas”.
May 12th, 2010 on 10:06 am
I can’t bring myself to wear game t-shirts any more because I fear I may be mistaken for someone fashionable or a man from a rubbish band.
It’s very annoying.
I also am uncomfortable with people reading my chest, so t-shirts with words on them are never an option.
In conclusion, I shall not be purchasing any of the items from this shop.

Maybe I should get some nice jumpers made up.

The King of Games ones are OK, but I really like the Pacman one I got from Threadless. And obviously these were ok too.
I think RetroGT make the worst, they even make Space Harrier seem dull. Although it’s a close call between them and Joystick Junkies…

I was going to suggest UK:R underwear, Zorg, so nobody would have to see. However, I’m not sure if that is more shameful than a jumper, because I’d still know I was wearing UK:R pants even if nobody else did.

I’m not sure. In the event a reader got to underpants stage with a lady, I’d hate for them to lose ‘momentum’ when having to pause to explain what UKR stands for.

It’s a pity the best visual branding UK:R had involved a copyrighted mascot and dubious German text. That on a dark red tee would look pretty good I think.
Not UK:R, but a tee/hoody with an obscure hi-res battery image would be suitably both cool and wtf without being poncey.

“I’m not sure. In the event a reader got to underpants stage with a lady, I’d hate for them to lose ‘momentum’ when having to pause to explain what UKR stands for.”
Zorg, I’m sure the rohypnol would last. If not, just give her another dose…
