Geek Apparel of the Week: Droidberg and Scott Pilgrim “Select Player”
 |
?? Attention nerd apparel companies — if you make a shirt that references Futurama in some way, there is a 99% chance I will feature it on GAotW. Just sayin’. This bad boy is $9, and available today only on TeeFury.

?? Since I post Mighty Fine shirts so often, you might have gone there and already checked out their MyTee thing, which allows you to pick from selected graphics (the MODOK ones are pretty great) and shirt colors. Well, they’ve just added a Scott Pilgrim design, but here’s the kicker — it’s an SFII-style “Select Player” design, and you get to select the 16-bit versions of both players! For instance, I chose Ramona and Knives, but there’s Scott, all the evil Ex’s, and even Nega Scott. It’s kind of awesome. It’s $25, and you can start the design process here.
