Geek Apparel of the Week: Napalm, Supernatural Bros., S-Mart

?? Look, I don’t know what Broken Tier is or why you would want to wear a shirt with large block letters exclaiming “BROKEN TIER” on it. What I do know is that this is a shirt with a picture of Rocket Raccoon done in Super Mario Bros. 3 style, and he’s throwing a goddamn bomb. It’s $25 at — where else? — Broken Tier.

?? Another SMB shirt? Yes, another SMB shirt. Look, there are so few Supernatural-themed shirts I see that I love to throw you fans a merchandising bone when I can. Also, I love the look of pure panic on Boo’s face as Dean runs towards the gun. It’s $10 at Ript Apparel.

?? Unlike Supernatural shirts, there have been many, many, many Army of Darkness themed shirts in general, and S-Mart shirts in particular. Still, this one may be my favorite. It’s ?18 at Last Exit to Nowhere.
