Different Game t shirts


By Alan Cutler


Did you know that Gaming shirts are a huge business? And did you know that video game shirts cover a multitude of categories. What we will be looking at are these categories, what makes them successful and the differences between each of these shirts.

Funny Video Game Shirts
Funny video game shirts are one of the most popular types of game t shirts. These shirts tend to put the chief protagonist of their game into a different situation and can reference popular culture. These types of shirts do tend to show their age really quickly as they are tied into what is currently popular right now.


Retro video game shirts
These are my favourite t-shirts and are the type that features the older games, such as pong, space invaders or Pac-Man. These take iconic images from these games and print them on a tee; it could simply be a screen shot of a level of the classic original software or even just the main character by themselves.

Game Over Video Game Shirts
A new trend in video game shirts is the Game over shirt. These gaming tees usually display the end screen of a game which has been printed on a shirt. The term 'Game Over' has now crossed over into the main stream. It is now part of popular culture. You will see this term on a lot of funny slogan shirts not just video game shirts.

Gamer lifestyle t shirts
These tee shirts could also be considered funny gaming t shirts, but I think they deserve a category on their own. These are very popular, and normally celebrate the way gamers live in a humorous way, when their favourite gaming title has a new instalment come out. Playing marathon gaming sessions and the side effects gamers get when doing this.

Console Shirts
Console shirts can crossover into all of the above types of shirts can are specific to that particular manufacturer, for example it could be a picture of a Nintendo controller on the shirt or even the notorious red ring of death issue that is part of the X-box history.


All of these tees are tremendously popular and it is not just gaming manufacturers that are licensing images from software titles to designers to design these t shirts. Some of the best have taken elements from these software titles and either put it twist on the game or period it obviously taking care not to infringe copyright.
