Geek Apparel of the Week: Shredder Hoodie
 |
?I don’t know if I’m telling you about this thing or warning you. Suffice to say that 80’s Tees $60 Shredder-inspired hoodie cracks me the fuck up. They have a Krang one as well, but it’s not as good — all yellow, and without all those menacing “spikes.” I think even the ’80s Turtles would laugh if they saw you wearing this, the ’00s Turtles would shake their heads sadly, and the original comic Turtles would kill you on principle alone.
