Geek Apparel of the Week: Super Sloth, Battle of the Bands, D&D Retro Characters

?? I’m not much of a Goonies fan, but if I were, I imagine I’d like this shirt very much. It’s $10 at Ript Apparel for the next 11 hours or so.

?? Honestly, wouldn’t a Back to the Future/Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure crossover have been, by default, the best movie of the ’80s? Of course it would; you don’t even need to answer that. The shirt is $10 at ShirtPunch for the next 10 hours.

?? Looks like We Love Fine are getting into the classic D&D apparel game, and I couldn’t be more excited. My personal favorite is the red shirt with the art from the basic D&D red box starter’s kit, but I know those shirts have been around for a while, so enjoy this one with classic character class and monster art on it. It’s $25 at We Love Fine for the foreseeable future.
Speaking of We Love Fine, they’re currently running an Avengers t-shirt contest; send in your designs, and you could win $2500 — and get your shirt made. My pal and the world’s finest t-shirt aficionado Ryan Penagos is one of the judges, so I already know the results will be awesome. You can learn more — and submit your designs — here.
