Some video game graphic tees are just atrocious! I don't know how some people could where them in public. I'll wear a video game tee if it's tastefully done or if it's just a logo.

I had a plain red shirt with the Nintendo logo. Dunno where the fuck I put it, but no one minded it.
Also, it not that they are plain videogames references that kill some shirts....They are just fucking ugly.

My wife bought me the OG Horde WoW hoodie. I used to wear it often. I don't anymore because I quit...But I have no shame in wearing things like that. As long as its not something that is overly ridiculous, it ain't no thang.
Now those DBZ Hawaiian shirts...those are special.

What? No. I don't wear them out often because the ones I have look stupid as shit. Nobody says you have to be a fashion model. But you don't need to wear clothes that express your interests. I like games but I don't plaster it all over myself so everybody I meet knows it. You don't have to wear a polo/suit and "conform". If you didn't care so much, why are you here trying to defend it. Dumb clothes that don't match look stupid, regardless if they have a game related print on the front. It just so happens that game related prints, more often than not, make you look silly.

most of these are just so damn tacky. What's with all the cringeworthy puns and slogans? "Mii Love You Long Time"? Really?

Has any clothing company made a shirt of Snake or Big Boss in the vein of that iconic Che Guevara picture?

The only reason I'm here is because some dude chastised me for wearing gaming shirts. There is no need to wear a particular graphic tee, no more than there is a need to wear a basic striped button up shirt. A shirt is a shirt, there are no disadvantages to wearing a shirt portraying a particular game I like, whether or not it is under your impression that they look "silly" or "dumb". I am just clueless on why it would bother people to a point where they feel the need to mock others, especially on a gaming forum. In my opinion, it just makes those people look shallow.

I'm not a fan of a majority of extremely obvious gamer shirts, but not because I have an issue with showing my interest on a shirt, but more because a majority of them are awfully designed. There are some truly great subtle shirts though, some of which have been shared in this thread.
I do have no issue with elaborate shirts though, hell I wear band-shirts every now and again too. Hell, one of my favorite band-shirts to wear is this:
I actually get quite a lot of compliments from it and questions of what old sci-fi film it is. People are generally surprised when I say that it's a prog-rock album though.

Maybe everyone secretly loves Rutger Hauer
I don't know how to get one anymore, the dude at my regular game shop was giving this out to regulars who bought the game.

I'm not a fan of "in-your-face" videogame apparel, but I have this one:
I love this game. I want this shirt!

If you have that N7 shirt, does it have a tag in it? Mine didn't come with a tag (odd, because I ordered it from Bioware), and I'd love to know who makes the shirt itself because I'd like to have the shirt in other colors and non-video game related. PM me if you know, please. thanks.

I hate shirts like these. It's not the gaming part of them that I hate though. It's that in your face attitude lol.

I have the red MOTHER 3 t-shirt but in hindsight, I would much rather have the Franklin badge t-shirt. It's a shame they'll never be available ever again :[ I also have the Ness shirt from Fangamer. They look fine, fit well, and are made of nice material. It's true that I only wear them when I go out to conventions or something, but really, people need to lighten up in here. I've moved on from graphic tees as much as the next person but sometimes it's just boring as hell wearing a plain tee all the time. That 'Anime is the Best' shirt is amazing.

Depends where you work - your colleagues aren't necessarily a representative sample of the whole population.
Gaming isn't a niche interest any more, and Mass Effect is a hugely popular franchise. You might be surprised.

Honestly, the few times I wear my "Evolutions of Eevee Prism" shirt are the main times when people actually come up to me to tell me that they like my shirt. Even people who don't get the references at all have commented in it. They come in 3 main camps: the Pink Floyd fans, the Pokemon fans, (the intersection between those two), and those who just think it's "cute".
It's a plain black t-shirt with the following print.
On one occasion while waiting for a bus, I had one girl come up to me, wanting to take a picture of it, followed by a guy right in front of me as I was boarding the bus--smiling and turning around to tell me I had a cool shirt--and then yet another guy, already seated, yelling out "Nice shirt, dude!" as I walked by. At that point, I wonder if I sounded a bit short-tempered as I muttered a thank you in a sort of "Ok, I get it already" way. It honestly seemed like a joke at that point.
But anyway, whoever says graphic tees are unpopular are dead wrong. There is honestly something mystical about this shirt.

I had two instances today where that happened, a day I boldly chose to wear it once more. I overheard two guys in the bathroom going, "Whoa, did you see that guy's shirt? It's like...Pink Floyd, but with Eeve from Pokemon!" while I was in a stall. Pretty awkward.

I wear video game shirts. But I only wear bungie shirts. I have about 4 of them. Only two I wear semi regularly the original white bungie logo in dring " were gonna kick you ass" on the back(which means I've literally never worn this shirt without a hoody to hide that, a dive had that shirt almost ten years) and the grey old bungie.net tee. I just bought the per audacia ad a strata shut on amazons, but then had no men's and I ordered a women's medium thinking its fit, but it didn't so I gave to this girl. Anyway, have you ever heard of a game called destiny, also I need to find my "senior picture" for bright school. I was wearing 300$ jeans and an olive green T with master chief in the corner. In the yearbook MC was invisible since he was just a breast ornamentation..l but I knew. And now you know.
Ive got several gaming t-shirts, that I don't wear anymore in my normal life, but only in weekends when I'm at home and some I still wear normally.
I rather have that the gaming shirts I wear not to be easily recognized unless you know the games. same reason why I still wear my gundam t-shirt, nobody really recognizes it.
But as far as stores goes: Blackmilk has awesome clothes in general, but since I'm a guy not really for me
and of course King of Games. Pricey, but in my opinion worth it. I still rock the Zelda hoodie.

My problem with gaming clothing is that they are generally either too subtle to the point you may as well be wearing a non-gaming t-shirt, or they are terribly punny to the point of being cringeworthy.

Yup, that was my idea. Obviously some clothes are hideous, but these are absolutely fine.
I bought this Monster Hunter shirt from Uniqlo last month. The fact that it has anything to do with gaming is pretty subtle.
