The 5 Greatest Video Game T-Shirts
December 01, 2008
5. I PWN N00BS™ T-SHIRT:
This tee probably belongs higher on the list, since it is single-handedly responsible for the income that keeps the greatest video game-inspired TV show alive. PURE PWNAGE just owns plain and simple. If you don’t know what it is, then you FAIL at gamer culture and you need to do yourself a favor, and click here to get fully caught up on the glorious last two seasons of this internet phenomenon. I wear this shirt all the time, and generates one of my favorite questions, like what does “Pwn” mean? Buy Here.

4. GATSBY - AMERICAN DREAM:
I’ve long been a fan of Rockstar Games clothes, which can be seen HERE, and the great streetwear brand GATSBY. When I was in my last trip in Los Angeles, I came across this great Tee at the store SURU, and I was like OMFG I got to have this sh*t. This shirt does a great job of blending everything I love about Gaming Culture with everything I love about Streetwear. You can pick up this sweet piece HERE, if anyone can dig up more info about GATSBY, please share in the comments.

3. BLAME VIDEO GAMES by Marc Ecko:
This is a classic Tee from the guru of pop culture himself, Marc Ecko. This was a very limited item that only a few select group of gamers received as a promotion surrounding the cult hit “Marc Ecko’s Getting Up.” Check out Kotaku’s coverage of the event. I’m lucky enough to have one, but they are impossible to find, maybe if we email the folks at shopecko.com we can convince them to create a new run of these great shirts.

2. NO NOOBS T-SHIRT:
The guys at Pure Pwnage make the list for the second time, and they deserve it. These guys are making great strides in mainstreaming game culture into the fashion world. I mean, how straight and to the point is it to have a shirt that simply says what we are all thinking: “NO NOOBS” allowed. The noob epidemic has begun to spread like wildfire and these guys are letting the world know its not ok, this is the gamer’s version of the peace sign… for a treatise by the boys from pure pwnage of the “The Noob Effect” please click the vid LOL! BUY THIS TEE HERE.

1. THE CLASSIC ATARI T-SHIRT:
You probably saw this one coming a mile away, I mean products are validated by consumption, and I’ve seen the ATARI T-SHIRT sold everywhere, and worn by people in all walks of life. It is nostalgia in its coolest form as it relates to games. Everyone knows what the ATARI is and what it meant to gamer culture, and this shirt communicates a whole lot of baggage with one simple logo, and one very elegant typeface. It’s cheesy and mainstream but thats also what is good about it. Kudos.
