Good idea, good execution; appropriately 80's retro.

Oh... those are hands... I wondered why there were wires coming out of the controller.

Looks good except the white hands look like string or wires. It took me a little while to figure out what they are.

Cool idea. I'm not crazy about the hands though...

i like the hands!!

i like it and had no problem reading the hands. would it be totally cliche to have it plug in near the heart rather than the neck?
rombocket
rombocket on Mar 01 '06
yes, i am realizing i should have made the hands a yellow or something. should it ever get printed, i'll probably change that!



thank you all for the comments.

oh, and firehazard - it's more of a problem of placement on the shirt than cliché.

The wires on original nintendo controllers come out of the direct center of the top of the controller. :)

the hands make it kinda unique, so people look at the shirt for a second longer

I'd tint the hands just to make them stick out a bit more, but I dig them just as wires, as well.



I'm kind of iffy on the connector placement, as well. You mentioned that it'd be hard to connect it to, say, the heart (which would be cool) instead of the neck - what about an armpit, or some other place other than dead-center? I think the centering is the problem. Maybe if you even ran the wire around the shirt, or something just to get out out of dead-center.





This is a cool effin' shirt, though. I'd buy it and proudly wear it. I love my old NES, and it goes with me whenever I move. I was the only kid on my floor at college with an old NES and it got me a lot of attention and made me a lot of friends.

If people wanted to see another shirt with an NES controller on it, they'd go to Target or Hot Topic...

Nice design. I wouldn't change anything, I like it how it is.

if people wanted an nes controller shirt with SOME DUMB PHRASE, theyd go to target or hot topic...



i dig it, my boyfriend would wear it IF the hands looked more like hands at first glance (i wont lie, i though they were just weird doodly wires) aaaand maybe other shirt color options (navy is hard to wear with jeans...just sayin!)

I like the hands, although I had to give it a second look- which is what you want for a shirt anyways. Right?

Great shirt, overused concept.



I'll still give it a 4 though.

Also took me a while to figure out that the hands were hands and not ctring/wires. But I don't know how you would fix that... But I got it, not a problem.



I like it, I can see some of my guy friends wearing it. (I'm not gamer enough, haha)



Well done, 4

you need to blackout the space where the hands cover the controller. They shouldn't be translucent like that.

I like the hands white, I read it right away. It also allows the controller to be viewed first. Fun times!
