Wow, a lot of unnecessary hate towards graphic tees. 90% of what I wear is t-shirts that represent games, doesn't really bother me. In fact i've gotten more people talking to me whenever I wear my Legend of Zelda shirts.

I really like some of the options in the Bioware, Bungie, and Valve stores. I've gotten a couple of tank tops that are pretty nice (Bioware's and Bungie's shirts are higher quality than Valve's though)

I can't do men's shirts because they swallow me. If anyone has suggestions with a large selection for women, that would be great!

redbubble.com has a pretty cool selection

I figured there'd be hate in this thread against video game shirts. I only got two, that BI songbird shirt that my friend bought for me on impulse and a SMW shirt I made with Bowser's sprite on it. I hardly wear them but when I do must people seem to enjoy them.

I had the black/white Half-Life 2 logo t-shirt that came with the game.

Was nice and simple but too small so I wore it for work.

Bungie's shirts are always awesome, and a lot of them you'd have no idea they were from a game if you didn't play.

Check the Destiny shirts:

Bungie related shirts are about the only gaming ones I have. Aside from a few of the Destiny shirts, I have a Bungie Shirt with a ninja on it (a gift from Bungie to their moderators) and a Bungie User research shirt. I love that the Destiny collection is not "in your face" about it. They're just simple logos.

Other than that, I have two Behemoth shirts. One with a knight on it that says "Hello" under it and then the giraffe one. Neither of which look overtly game-y.

Usually when I go out, I wear button up shirts and jeans though; work clothes are shirt, tie, and slacks so it's not like I get to give my graphic tees a lot of use. My Behemoth shirts have been relegated to work out/playing sports clothes because the artwork on them has worn a bit. Bungie shirts are in great shape, though. :)

I can't stand 'gaming clothing'. 9.9 times out of 10 they're really ugly, cheaply made t-shirts with some random clunky logo plastered across the top.

I don't think I've ever seen a v-neck gaming shirt... or one that looks decent.

Once you go v-neck you never go back. I can't stand normal shirts anymore. Feels like something is scratching my neck the entire time!

Agh, no. There's a guy who catches the same train as me in the evening who has an N7 Mass Effect hoodie. I know what it is, and it's dorky. Like wearing a hoodie that looks like a Starfleet uniform.

I saw a customer at work wearing one. I thought it was cool, it's subtle and not overbearing.

I can't stand 99% of graphic tees so I don't like any of these pictured.


I do own two shirts though, both were Katamari shirts from Panic Goods.
The one I actually wear from time to time is incredibly subtle and out of view. It's soft too.

The other I keep in the bag it came in. There was just something so gaudy about Katamari and gold foil/lamé.
I just like to look at it.

Fangamer is pretty cool but you have to pick through all the gaudy shirts they sell.

I don't care much for the hot topic logo tees except for that one MGS4 shirt they had a few years ago.

I would wear this with no shame.

I don't wear any video game related clothing (the most I ever wore was a Blow Me hoodie with a NES cart on the front). But that shit is hot. I'd love to wear that. Fuck yeah.

Damn, son. That brings me back. I got one of those limited edition Rogue Squadron shirts for pre-ordering the game, but it was an XL so I never wore it.

I was hoping I wasnt the only one. Yep that shirt was HUGE. I remember i got it on christmas with ocarina of time. Me and my bros switched from playing zelda and turok. Simple times!

It's alright as long as it's obscure and designed well enough so as not to be overtly gaming related. The Gato shirt I quoted, the New California Republic one, the Sarif and Abstergo ones, and others like them are all fine because they aren't instantly recognizable as gaming-related by most people, and the only people who do recognize them are probably gonna approve. I wouldn't even mess around with Nintendo gear at this point, as overdone it is, but the subtle stuff is fine.

The only game shirt I own.


The prince and his katamari are made out of fuzzy black material.

I honestly can't stand the game shirts that are a reference of a reference of a reference. Like that Mario 3 X Starfox shirt above.

This is amazing, I'd buy this in a heartbeat.
I also have this one from uniqlo.

Man y'all can wear what you want. But people have the right to criticize your fashion choices. And it sucks- but the reality is that you will get judged. Not only because it's gaming, but because most of those tees are dumb, but above all- who feels the need to wear their hobby all the time on their shirt?

I have this:

I like it. I'd only get more clothes that have to do with video games if they are subtle. Nothing with a character's gigantic face plastered on it.

As has been said. For every 5000 tees there are maybe 2 worth wearing that are subtle enough. Even then it's pushing it. Like this Fallout one.

Looks kinda cool, but has Bethesda on the sleeve. Why. WHY!?

Most people here will agree that gaming related clothing isn't the best way to go. I just remembered, I have one that I ever wear in, it's a MvC3 comic cover themed tee. I wear it to the gym and once when I was snowboarding. That's it. They mostly all look dumb, and don't match with whatever else you are wearing.

Agreed, especially the bolded. Don't get mad about it.

I don't understand the hate for video game shirts. As long as they aren't overly done or with a stupid catch phrase, there's nothing wrong with them.

I have a few shirts from Nintendo World with Yoshi and Bowser on them, in a circle, and it says Nintendo World New York on the front in small text under the circle and the Nintendo logo on the back. What's the big deal? Just wear what you like and forget what everyone else thinks.

I ordered this shirt around the time Dead Space 3 came out.

I also have a couple shirts from Brokentier. Tiger and a discontinued Team Spooky design. It's all a little pointless, though. I only wear t-shirts under collared shirts. It's very rare for me to go anywhere in just a tee.

So you guys are insecure about wearing them so I have to feel like they're out of fashion? Everyone must conform to wearing polos and suits for the rest of our lives in order to not be looked down upon? Who cares, I'm not a fashion model. I enjoy wearing gaming shirts because it expresses my interests, regardless of what that kid across the street thinks of it.
