Japanese 2D fighter BlazBlue – the spiritual successor to Guilty Gear – isn’t the most likely subject for an American fashion brand collabo, sure, but a fashion brand collabo is what the game is getting.
Most gaming shirts are awful (though not all!). Most riffs on the classic “John Paul Ringo John” shirt are awful (though not all!). This shirt is both of those, but is so not awful.
Chris Hastings is the man behind the internet’s premier medical/ninjitsu soap opera, Dr McNinja. And you know what? He’s also the man behind this reasonably badass Mario Bros. shirt.
World of Warcraft merchandisers supreme Jinx have unleashed their new winter line just in time for Christmas, complete with the return of the talking, hand-humping murloc plushies.
The Devil May Cry series has been a lotta things, but masculine is not one of them. Something about all those exposed chests and red coats and wonderful haircuts. So it’s poignant that the official Devil May Cry range of menswear – due to be released in Japan next month – will forgo hoodies and caps in favour of gear including a couple of exquisite cardigans and leather-pocketed polo shirts. With tiny, elegant belts attached, of course. They’ll come in two styles (Dante and Nero), and at a price only the most fashion-conscious Capcom aficionado could bear to pay, with the polos priced at USD$75 and the cardigans at USD$105 (Nero) and USD$125 (Dante). Looks a lot, but for the convenience of having a belt on your shirt, it’s totally worth it. デビルメイクライ[Official DMC4 Clothing]
And by surprise us, we mean surprise us by being good. Approaching clever, even. Unlike the rest of Valve’s shirts, which are God-awful. Why the turnaround? Perhaps it’s because we all love Portal so much. Perhaps it’s the fact these shirts weren’t designed by Valve’s off-the-shelf shirt-design-a-bot, but rather by Portal’s creators, Kim Swift and Realm Lovejoy. It’s probably both. There’s a companion cube, cake and GLaDOS shirt to choose from, with detailed pics (click for bigger versions) after the jump.
