I've never been much for the varsity look personally, but since the NES controller is popping up on everything from wallets to underwear lately I can't say I'm very surprised to see it on a jacket.
80s Tees has these for sale for $200 a pop and claims they are getting down to the last of their stock (the jackets are limited to a run of 1000). That's kind of pricey for a gamer, but it looks like a quality item, if not a little ... obnoxious? What do you think: yay or nay?

For a second though, I'll be honest, I was a tad interested, strictly out of nostalgia. And $200? You're effin' kidding me. If I want to look like a jackass when I go out in public, I'll go to Goodwill and pick up some tacky pin-stripe suits and blazers for less than $5.

He also wears a power glove as an accessory to along with it. He's a pretty bad ass classic gamer.
Bad for those who receive one as a gift.
