Geek Apparel of the Week: Classic Blunders and Nostalgia League

?? Admittedly, I think this shirt is fun, but it really makes me want a Princess Bride Commodore 64 game. Anyways, the shirt is $15 at Snorg Tees.

?? Dark Bunny has started a new line called “Nostalgia League” It’s not a good name, but it’s a pretty great concept — taking classic cartoons and turning them into elaborate and awesome sports-type logos. My favorite is the Battle of the Planets/Gatchaman one above, but there’s also Dungeons & Dragons, Transformers, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors (!) and a couple of ThunderCats ones, too. They’re all ?18 and you can check them out here.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
