Put Sonic's face on your chest

by Griffin McElroy { Apr 12th 2008 at 11:30AM }

There are many reasons to desire a shirt emblazoned with the countenance of Sega's spiky, azure mascot -- perhaps as a celebratory measure following the formal announcement of Sonic's upcoming 2D/3D adventure, Sonic Unleashed. Maybe you want to want to make your own personal Jaleelitude known to the world. Or just maybe, you want to warn could-be attackers that you've seen the Sonic PSAs, and that you know how to protect your bathing suit area from uncomfortable touches.

Such a shirt exists, as do a number of other garments featuring characters from other Sega mainstays (such as Virtua Fighter and House of the Dead) from a Japanese clothier named UNIQLO -- unfortunately, said tees are only available in Japan. However, as our controller-waggling brethren at Wii Fanboy discovered, UNIQLO has stores in the UK and in New York -- so at least we can hope for a timely port.

I, myself, enjoy stew.

I used to like UNIQLO when it was cheap. Then the store near me shut down and they hiked their prices.

Lupo @ Apr 13th 2008 10:08PM

the UNIQLOCK was cool

In before the 'anything Sonic haters'

Thats actually a pretty cool shirt. I'd buy one. Reminds me of the original Sonic Adventure, which I love.

Benny @ Apr 12th 2008 12:57PM

It also kinda reminds me of the No Fear t-shirts, which I hate.

Lupo @ Apr 13th 2008 10:13PM

The 2 sonic shirts are definitely cool. The others....ugly.

Are they region-locked? ah, doesn't matter I got my PS-Triple.

SovietSpartan @ Apr 12th 2008 1:56PM

Online my girlfriend said these are mostly soldout and only available in white and XXL. But shes gonna check the stores tomorrow and see if Sonic and Kagimaru are available. Woot.

I HATE SONIC COS HES BLOO!

No but seriously, this is a pretty nice T-Shirt..I'm not into Sonic but I'd buy it. :D

Cool, I might pop down to the Uniqlo UT store in Harajuku tomorrow. Except I have a feeling my girlfriend might disown me if i walk around wearing a sonic T-Shirt.

PS/ Am I missing some clever, hidden feature of the Joystiq gallery where it actually shows the images at the RIGHT size and aspect ratio? Every pic on joystiq looks terrible, unless I go to the trouble of viewing the original image file.

You know you aren't saving on bandwidth, right?
