Geek Apparel of the Week: Uniqlo Anime and Aperture
 |
?? I don’t know how new these are, but alert Topless Roboteer Charles G. alerted me that Japanese hipster-y fashion chain Uniqlo is no offering several shirts based on One Piece, Naruto and Dragonballl Z. Also, the U.K. Uniqlo store is offering the same, with a much wider, awesomer variety (at least for One Piece, which absolutely breaks my heart). Be warned, though — these shirts aren’t just hipster-y, but Japanese hipster-y. I guarantee they are going to run pretty goddamn small.

?? Valve has a pretty decent set of Portal 2-inspired shirts and hoodies here. I am posting the Three Turret Moon shirt only because it made me laugh out and not because I recommend buying it — there are many other more clever and subtle t-shirts available.
