These awesome Mario Kart tees are going for 9 euro in Penney's right now

One thing about that tee is it's a straight scan of the Japanese Super Mario Kart cover.
While it's nice and all, I think I'd have preferred something with a bit more imagination, at least a colour tee other than white or black.

That's not fair.

What now?

I'm not being fair.... to Penney's?

CiDeRmAn

This is good example


It's still a straight enough scan of the cover/promo art for Twinbee, but it uses the colour of the tee for better effect.
I bought this one myself, but got it in a faded yellow, to better match the original artwork

It's an awesome Mario Kart shirt available in our very own Penney's on the high street!

It's great quality and costs only 9 euro, and if you're lucky you'll find it in the reduced rack at some stage for three euro

If you want fancy, borderline illegal arty designs go on Qweertee or similar m8

Also, if you're lucky enough to have recently bought a pair of palm tree motif shorts but you never bothered checking the size so they're too small, you've got €9 worth of store credit for your local Penny's.

Free Mario Kart tshirt!

What. A. Day.

Thanks for the heads up!

Well, yes, I do buy designs from Qwertee and Teefury.
And I've bought plenty of official licensed tees from Penney's, like my recent N64 and Tempest ones.
I would just say that I was making an observation about that tee and it wasn't a personal attack... so, might want to cool the jets there.

Is there going to be as much complaining about a €9 t-shirt as there is about the Switch online service?

I'll tell you what though Nintendo fans love to complain way more than any other console fans I've ever come across. :pac:

That's a lot of emotion for a T-shirt.

T-Shirts are the nerds' tribal tattoos (Because while many of us endeavour to have enough skin to display all of our loyalties, and many of us succeed, most of it is hidden in folds - we need the sleek, straight lines of the Tee!). Wars have been fought over less.

Yeah, but they tend to tire quickly, particularly when the inhalers need refilling.

And I'm not in bad shape, for 46!

There was a time when such shirts only came from reps who came into shops to push their games with the staff, hence why I still have my Rez tee, my spouse disposed of my OG Wipeout tee, an act I have yet to forgive her for!

But, now that everyone seems to be selling them, it's getting a little harder to be different.

But it is great to see Penney's bringing in stuff from the likes of Bioworld, who make very good stuff indeed.

Jealous AF. One of my favorite games. Got a photo by any chance? I'm curious as to what it would even look like.

Condolences on the loss. Hopefully you'll be able to look your wife in the eyes again some day

Fedora, trench coat and a usually has a sword.

So, moving the Tee shirt discussion its own... thread, and I figure it's a good place to discuss or highlight wearable goodies for everyone's favourite gaming company.

What about those of us that have both nerdy tees and nerdy tattoos???

Not that particular one, simply because I'm not a fan of that particular design. But otherwise, yes.


One of my favourite gaming (well, crossover-gaming) tshirts so far is this design, on a black shirt:

There's a lot of people out there wearing clothes with niche branding on them these days, but they are unlikely to understand the source.

I was wearing an Atari tee and some kid in my son's youth club threw a statement at me that 2600 Pacman was great, to which I responded that everyone knew it was sh1t. The young fella then told my son that his dad was cool..... which I am....

Did you just make up that story :pac:

Oddly enough, no I didn't.
Took me by surprise as well....

I've been wearing video game/science fiction related shirts for decades and only about three people have ever seen fit to mention them... once was Rez, another was a callout for my Firefly tee and more recently the tale told in the above post.

It means that, given the rate of interest by the great unwashed, it'll be sometime in 2026 before anyone comments on a tee again.

Saddened too that the only person who "gets" my various HP Lovecraft tee shirts is my son, and only then because I indoctrinated him into the cosmic horror genre over his 15 years on the planet.

Ah shuta upa your face

Is there such a thing as Nintendo themed handbags?

Could be a market for that, I feel.

We'll assume for the moment this is good natured banter.
Otherwise it would be uncivil, and against the forun/site charter.

No he said to came down before your ulcer got out of hand.

I hadn't come across you recently but your posts do come across very rude/confrontational.
