Much like yourself, those people are sadly mistaken.

It's one thing to like video games and wear video game apparel but it's another thing to try and say it's cool to do so.

Again, there's nothing cool about that. It looks stupid and only video game players will understand it and then while you and that person are both jerking each other off with various video game references, some people will be gearing up to beat your nerdy ass and rob you.

So you want video game apparel that only a select few will think are cool or even understand?

Well, there you go.

I don't want other people to think its cool, i just want to wear them.
I didn't buy that Nintendo jacket cus i thought other people thought it would be cool, i did because i liked it.

For wearing a shirt they don't understand? What the fuck kind of Nazi city do you live in?

I see it as the exact same as owning coming book apparel. There are some great comic book shirts ive seen.

i think thats pretty dope. it doesn't even have to be a game reference. it would just be funny to have a shirt that makes you look like a cardboard box with someone looking out of it.

Has waited diligently to think of something to say before making this post
When it comes to being cool and confident, it's not about what you are wearing, it's how you wear it that really matters.

You're just going to have to trust me on this one.

I don't think I can help you here. Unfortunately, none of the shirts posted here are interesting to me and I would personally never wear them. Your best bet is to look online. I bet they'll have better shirts.

That's more confident than anything. "Cool" just varies from person to person. I'm not into comics, and I'm not really a nintendo fan, so nothing that's been posted in this thread really sticks out as "cool" to me. The silver surfer shirt does seems like a normal shirt to me. I really don't see why people have such a huge problem with it. But then again, thisisneogafdude.gif, home of the $300 jeans, $500 watches, and overpriced popular shit fashion.

yensid, do not take fashion advice from GAF, ever.

So? They like what they're wearing. Let them wear it. I really do not see why it's such a big deal for everyone to fit in. I'd much rather wear clothing that says something about what I like than wear pricey shit just to show off.

This thread is reminding me of this guy on the PAX forums who was attempting to convince people that Bostonians would punch you for wearing a pokemon shirt (for the pokemon themed bar crawl of course). Noone's going to hit you for it, and there's no reason to care what some random ass person on the street thinks of you.

Why do you care what other people wear? It's the same thing I don't understand about people being against same-sex marriage(when religion isn't involved), how does it affect you in any way? Just leave them alone and shut the fuck up already.

How do you feel about people that wear DC/Vans/DVS clothing?

Or how about Fox racing, quiksilver, billabong?

How about sports jerseys, do you give people wearing any of these things shit?

edit: nevermind, I don't want to jump into this. :lol

The one thing I will say is that the model in that nintendo jacket really says it all. This entire thread and everything both sides will say about it is summed up in that one jpeg.

Really now?

So, because the model they chose looks like a generic geek, means everyone that would possibly consider wearing it looks like that too?
