Geek and Gamer Wear Online?

Posted by Cliff on from the clothe-yourselves dept.

Phillip31337 asks: "I've been looking online for places to buy t-shirts related to computers and gaming. The only websites I have found so far are ThinkGeek , Game-Skins , and ErrorWear. Does anyone else in the Slashdot community know of any other sites that sell game and nerd/geek related t-shirts?" Just about every online comic has some form of merchandising going on these days, and if they sell T-shirts (most do), said shirts would fit nicely into this category. What other online vendors have unique shirts that would please your average (or the discriminating) Slashdot reader?

    You could always go to Cafe Press and make your own. The site is designed to offer turn-ey stores for t-shitrs, sweatshirts, coffee mugs, mousepads, etc. Just upload your own designs and buy the shirts. If you set the prices to the minumum they really aren't that bad. Plus your friends can buy your shirts as well.

    IMHO the ultimate geekwear is the line of "O'Really" t-shirts from copyleft.net ...
