You know, for every amazingly totally superbly fantastically awesome piece of gaming clothing we post about here at Destructoid there are probably about a million crappy gaming t-shirts we don't post about. I'm changing that here and now with this Space Invader t-shirts from artist Jimiyo and Tee Fury.
These are butt ugly. Not only is the "in real life" space invader not that cool or original looking, but the size and placement of everything is far to large. And that neon green. I know it's supposed to be repping the original game, but that is not a color anyone should really be wearing that much of unless they're going to some sort of 80s party. I'm sorry, but shirts like this are why people think that gamers have no fashion sense.
And before you go ahead an call me a douche for simply posting about something so I can tear into it, I will just say that if you like the shirt now you know about it and you can buy it so free advertisement done. And, yes, it was kind of a dick move on my part. I'll buy them some White Castle.

If anything that "ugly" green kind of reminds me of Mr. Destructoid..
Huh.
Unless you only like to wear My Little Pony pink and purple pastels with sequins and DOUBLE RAINBOWS.
If I was to make one, and maybe people would find this ugly and then they could blog about it, I'd get rid of the giant "real life" invader and simply move the ship and the defense blocks up so it was more minimal. Still an ugly neon green, but I think it would be far more counterbalanced thanks to the minimalist feel. Possibly putting it on a colored shirt like purple might work to totally retro it out and play with conflicting colors.
Or I'd turn it into a stylish black polo and make the invader a simple green stitched logo like the Ralph Lauren horse, possibly with green accents on the sleeve cuffs if you wanted to make it stand out a bit more, but that wouldn't be necessary. That would be effing baller in my opinion.
First idea sounds cool. Second one... URGH. Would you wear it with the collar turned up, a faux hawk, and a pair of oversized femme shades?
There's nothing worse than that "I want to look like money, but in a casual way that seems like I don't care about looking like money" vibe.
That's not true. Ebola would be worse. The apocalypse, too. But it's up there.
Let us know if you make #1 though.
Also, it was cool clicking on the "amazingly totally superbly fantastically awesome" links, only you forgot to include "original" for the link to the blog about '1UPshirts.com'
It doesnt look that bad. Actually, i kinda like it.
