Title: Awesome new Turbografx T-Shirt
Post by: T2KFreeker on March 05, 2012, 11:28:30 AM
Yeah man! Dudes selling them for $22.50. Not too bad, especially since new Turbo gear like shirts and such are a pain in the @ss to get. Might be worth getting.

It's missing the "Turbografx16" logo.

22.50 is honestly high to me for the design or lack of.  Shirts only cost 1-3.00; Large shirt is only 1.50 and 2XL were usually 3.00.  I have done a lot of shirt ordering from screeners for the automotive forum I am an admin on and the cost of the shirt is 10.00-15.00 depending on the place you go for multiple colors (i used 2 colored designs). 1 color designs were even cheaper (usually 1-3.00 cheaper).  

That design is very cheap and simple.

it's.....ok.

But like TurboKon says, it needs the label, the brand!
Would help also if there was a huey in the slot or a control pad hooked up to it...

For me, the orange isn't even close to the trademark TG16 (florescent) orange either, but i guess that color might be too extreme for some.
Either way, it is cool to see the TG16 given it's props in the evolution of vid games.

This one would be cool if it were colored instead of black & white:

Years ago (2005) I made my own Turbo t-shirt.
http://www.cafepress.com/cp/customize/product.aspx?number=21510466

Expensive as hell at $27, but I just wanted one to wear. It looks really nice in the red color.

Quick story: I wore it to E3 that year. Later that week, I was watching G4's post-E3 coverage and there I am wearing my TG16 shirt, front and center. Represent, bitches!

Cause its not licensed.

I don't much care for his TG16 shirt, but the SMS one that only has the "flowchart" I think is pretty rad.  $22 for a t-shirt is too rich for my blood, though.

The design is a bit lackluster. I don't mind minimalism, but it needs to be executed better.

That said, it would be fun to see someone in real life sporting ANY TG-16 clothing. I have yet to see it happen.

22.50 is honestly high to me for the design or lack of.  Shirts only cost 1-3.00; Large shirt is only 1.50 and 2XL were usually 3.00.  I have done a lot of shirt ordering from screeners for the automotive forum I am an admin on and the cost of the shirt is 10.00-15.00 depending on the place you go for multiple colors (i used 2 colored designs). 1 color designs were even cheaper (usually 1-3.00 cheaper).

Thanks for the scoop. What quantity do you need to order to secure those prices? Can you upgrade to higher quality shirts at most vendors?

I'm curious because you have actual experience with this.  (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)

I know its not nearly as impressive but i usually just make my own iron on turbo/pce t shirts. sure they're not the best quality and wear out after washing a few times, but they're cheap and i still get to represent the pc engine, even if most people have no idea what it is/don't care anyway.

I still want one of the TG16 logo shirts like Joe has. I suppose I could make one on Cafepress if I weren't lazy.

This design is simple and straightforward—it's great! I know it isn't earth-shatteringly creative, but I would happily wear this one.
