A little tongue-in-cheek article. Hoodie is about $60 US and is available to pre-order from Merchoid.

You'll notice on the site that stock is limited, and only a few NES Classic hoodies are left. Their notice is posted with what I assume is zero intended irony, but damn if that isn't too funny.

Make this thread artificially scarce if irrelevant.

 

[Danneee]

Also hilariously ugly!

 

[Strangelove77]

Eww.

 

[Max_Po]

phuck!! what year is this?

 

[Shiggy]

"Less than 5 left to preorder"

-> Can still put more than 10 into the basket.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Take off the NES branding and "Buttons" and the bottom and that's not half bad.

Thats a marketing ploy Merchoid puts on all their stuff to make people think stock is limited.

Would look better without the "Nintendo Entertainment System". I know, part of the nes, still.

That's just so perfect to me. I literally bust out laughing in the office when I saw that. The fact that it's an NES Classic hoodie using this tactic is just too freaking rich.

They have never left us.

Merchoid always says "limited stock", they restock pretty often.
I like ordering from there sometimes cause shipping is included in the price.
The hoodie itself is a bit much, but I am a huge nintendo fan and don't know if it would stop me from wearing it. Haha

I like that!!

Finally, a way to express my love of retro gaming to strangers.

 

[GeordieMark]

You couldn't give me that. It's awful.

 

[Chittagong]

Absolutely disgusting stunning

 

[Steiner]

I'm actually in the "it looks pretty dope" camp.

Is this another Blue Dress / Black Dress thing?

You couldn't give me that. It's awful.

Yeah. I proudly wear the handful of gaming shirts I have. I wouldn't wear that thing to a Wizard cast reunion.

 

[LumpOfCole]

I kinda like the design, but 'entertainment system' subtext and the 'buttons' on the pocket lower the appeal from 'Decent' to 'Hot Topic' tier.

Finally, we returned to the Golden Age.

 

[Bakercat]

If I had the money I'd rock the shit out of that hoodie, I don't give a fuck. Man, this reminds me of how I wanted all the cool gaming shirts and apparel that are so prevalent today as a kid growing up. I don't ever remember seeing gaming clothes as a kid back in the 90's.

 

[i-Jest]

I would never wear that thing. Being highly limited is a good thing. Whoever made that call made the right decision.

something for the subtle gaming apparel thread
