I've been sitting on this info for a little while, waiting to get a proper screen grab of the two winning t-shirts in action, but my screen grabbing equipment sucks and I can't wait any longer.
So here there are, the two winners of the No More Heroes 2 t-shirt design contest. Both contestants have had their entries programmed into the game, and are among some of the best clothes Travis Touchdown (badass) can buy. The first, "Portable Saving!" is take on the No More Heroes poop/save game/game creation metaphor that series creator Suda51 has been ranting about for years now. The second, "Red Rocket" is just some stylish, phallic fun. Out of the two, I personally prefer Red Rocket. I've killed more than a few of the game's bosses wearing the thing.
It's still not clear on who created the "Portable Saving!" shirt, though I believe it was one of the contestants from Japan. I do know who created the "Red Rocket" design; it's Drew Needham, graphic designer and member of the Dtoid community.
So congratulations, Drew! I'm super jealous.

I asked Ubisoft directly but I'm not sure they knew either.
Conglaturations to the winnar!
But despite those little quibbles, it's just awesome to be in the game...! And I'm really happy to hear you've been getting so much joy out of it, Jonathan! It's flattering!
I plan on doing an update to my site sometime this week with some in-game pictures of the shirt in action. I'll post a link when that's up if anyone's interested.
Again, thanks so much for doing the post..!
It's actually pronounced "Need-um", and is somewhat common in England, but not too much over here.
Oh, shit. That probably doesn't make Maine any more attractive.
Yeah! I forgot about those! My girlfriend brought me back some! They were delicious!
