The best videogame inspired clothing

Every year gaming becomes more and more popular around the world. It is no longer the exclusive hobby of sweaty, socially inept teenage boys (I can say this as I was one of those boys many moons ago) who lock themselves in their bedrooms for hours only to surface every now and again to grab a packet of crisps or some other equally unhealthy sustenance. Nowadays gaming is much more mainstream with people from all walks of life getting in on the act.

Gaming has penetrated many aspects of our lives, people play games on the train on the way to work, people both young and old play games with each other and mobile gaming has opened the doors to gaming to everyone. We even wear gaming inspired clothing, we are proud to be gamers and want to show people our favourite games by wearing them, it’s not dissimilar to people wearing sports shirts to show their allegiance to their favourite team.

Over the festive period I was looking for some gaming inspired clobber to buy as a present for someone and was blown away by the sheer amount that is available nowadays. I’ve pulled together some of the best stuff I found in the list below, although some of the items are easy to come by and I’ve provided links some of the items will be a bit trickier to track down given their exclusivity and limited numbers.

I like this T-Shirt as it isn’t simply a print of a logo making you a walking advert. This shirt links nicely to in-game references. You can get your own tomatoes Tee over at insertcoinclothing.com.
