Anyplace in the US where nifty game T-shirts can be had?
I've bought some from England:
www.retroaction.co.uk has quite a few cool designs. Robotron, Manic Miner, and such. But, I would like to know if there is something similar somewhere in the US??

Our shirt has the familiar icons you've seen on the site and the book. It SCREAMS retro-gaming.

I would like a Digit Press shirt but I don't like black T-Shirts.
I didn't see any gaming shirts on oldglory.com
I'll just stick with that Brit site until something better is found.
I think I will make R-Type and that Space Invaders monster my next pair.....

I need to dig out my DP shirt...it would be nice if you could do some up in a lighter color...perhaps the cat hair wouldn't show up as much! I have an Atari shirt coming in the mail...and I also have a Playstation shirt I remember getting years ago when I bought 2 PS games at the same time at a used games shop...though I think I had to buy new games (not used ones) to get that. I remember wearing it alongside a road once and being insulted by these Nintendo fanboys who were driving by...

Interesting how there are two distinct types of people - those who prefer black T-shirts and those who don't like them at all!
I choose black because they "wear out" better, which means they last longer. They also don't show sweat. Never let them see you sweat. :P

Heather grey would be a good color. I'm not fond of black, because once you wash it a few times, it's kind of a "dingy" black--not quite black, but you know at one point it was.
On a side note: Try going to gamestop every week and asking what game you have to reserve to get a free Tshirt. Reserve it for $5 and get the shirt. When the game comes, say you don't want it anymore and get your $5 back.
http://www.capcom.com has a bunch
www.thinkgeek.com has a >few< you have to search in the midst of Computer shirts to find them. Even then I think they relate more to PC gaming, than console gaming but you get the point.

There's a font company called House Industries that has an Atari font (or something like it--I can't remember the exact name) Anyhow, they have a shirt with a 2600 silhouette: http://houseind.com/images/merchandise/tshirts/shirt_pics/ht_system.gif .

Black is just too eighties metal for me.
Just look how much better any other color is compared to black:

Wow, I'm suprised I'm going to be the first person to mention....

Great t-shirt selection, all of them throw backs to retro gaming.
Or you could go to Hot Topic if you local mall has one, they have been stocking up on game cloths lately, got a great Pac-Man shirt from there.
Also Target. I got a offical, baby blue, Pac-Man shirt form there, direct from Namco and everything. They had another VG shirt awhile back but I haven't seen it.
Best thing to do is keep your eye out.
About the Pre-Order Shirts, make friends with someone at a Gamestop, and just get them to give you the shirts, thus saving your 5 bucks. I've got about 25 of those promo shirts I have accumulated over the past year and a half. Most of them have really cool art on them as well, such as my favorite, the Resident Evil" Code VEronica X shirt with the huge Umbrella Logo on the back.

Some of today's games are coming with t-shirts as bonuses...I see EB Games is doing that and I imagine they're not the only ones. I've pre-ordered Soul Calibur II with them and I get two bonuses, a sheet of cel art and a t-shirt with Ivy on it. The price isn't anymore and, in this case at least, I even get free shipping so it doesn't cost me anymore at all...

Besides tshirts, they even have classic gaming coasters and fridge magnets!

For some reason, I like the Manic Miner shirt, even though I've never played the game.
