The NES-themed collection of shirts, jackets, and hoodies from designer Torrel is no longer just an abstract topic of discussion on blogs. You can now buy the things in the pictures! From a website! On the Internet! Truly an auspicious day for practical applications of previously abstract concepts (where we're defining "t-shirts that you can't buy" as "abstract.")
Well, maybe you can buy them. The t-shirts start at $50. The jackets run $200. Someone would have to be excellently wealthy and also weird to blow $50 on an Urban Champion t-shirt. In fact, we'd like to meet that person, so we can convince him or her to invest in the crazy inventions that we'll make up for the occasion.
We can't help but continue to enjoy the eye-catching NES cartridge shirts. We're warming to some of the others, but the cartridge design is a definite winner. Is it a $50 winner? No, but only because it is currently impossible for such a t-shirt to exist, given our financial situation.

I like the Bomb-omb shirts, but $50 is to high a price for me. I would rather spend that money on games!

I like some of the shirts, too, but my social life is no where near robust enough to justify spending $50 bucks on a *bleeeep*ing t-shirt.

I'm going to agree with the general population of gamers in that, 50 bucks for a piece of clothing, plus shipping, I'll go buy a game.

Wow... Talk about expensive shirts. They're nice, but not in my price range for shirts.

So whose genius Idea was it to make the GAMING t-shirts cost the same as a game?
What's next? A $20 game for T-Shirt enthusiasts?
I can see it now, Super Design Shirt Go! for the DS.

I paid about that much for my 20th Anniversary Zelda shirt from King of Games, but these just aren't worth it.
