So on vacation a couple of weeks ago, I got tricked     into going to Target. While the wife is busy going through every shirt/skirt     combination in the store, I meandered over to the Men's Section and spotted     them. From the corner of my eye. Could it be? Retro T-shirts with arcade     game themes for the masses (at least the ones who shop at Target)? My     dreams of some gaming "soft wear" have come true!

SoftWEAR Review By Jeff Smith

So on vacation a couple of weeks ago, I got tricked     into going to Target. While the wife is busy going through every shirt/skirt     combination in the store, I meandered over to the Men's Section and spotted     them. From the corner of my eye. Could it be? Retro T-shirts with arcade     game themes for the masses (at least the ones who shop at Target)? My     dreams of some gaming "soft wear" have come true!

Indeed. These T-shirts are very cool. They are all 100%     Pre-Shrunk Cotton, with large screen printing. I got three of them and     have rigorously tested them in a number of gaming environments. I personally     believe they have a mysterious score-enhancing quality, but this is still     under investigation.

   

   

Game Over!

   

I am a big guy and I typically get XXL, and all these     shirts are available in XXL. One of my pet peeves is when the shirts get     bigger, the graphic appears smaller, not so with these shirts. The graphics     are in correct proportion to the shirt! Yippee!

   

   

"Not Now I'm Busy" Tee. Graphics     rightly proportioned.

The Donkey Kong Tee is a Nintendo labeled Product and     the Munchies is a Namco labeled product.
