European Sonic Items - General

When something is from somewhere in Europe, it could appear on this page. This page is for 'general' items, it could have anything that is un-proven to be from any specific country. Stuff that was proven to have a release in several different European countries can also appear here. Sega of Europe also holds a few special (non general release) items in their own collection, which will also appear. Some of the items here may have not ever been 'generally for sale', there could be promo things, employee hand outs, prizes or convention booth give-aways that went on multi-country tours (and so have no specific country of origin - country it was for) Items may move from this page if they are determined to be from/for a specific place.

Sonic Gear Main *

Start off with a selection of shirts. Each of these tees was collected by Sega of Europe & are currently being held in its collection. The yellow tee has a pixelated 16 bit running Sonic design. It was released for Sonic's 15th anniversary. The purple tee was for Sonic Dark Brotherhood, the RPG portable game. One sleeve has "Sega" the other has a mystery word. A sort of 'double blur' effect is applied to the outline of the Sonic desgin. It's a little mysterious as it doesn't particularly represent anything about the game. The black tee is (of course) for Sonic Rush Adventure, so it's black & has a pirate flag / Jolly Roger design, but with the Sonic face as the 'skull' part. The last shirt is for Sonic Mega Collection Plus, which has Sonic Tails & Knuckles in a nice stock art below the logo on the plain white tee. Photo by SegaEU

Here is an entry pass / card for the "Sega Rocks" event, held, appropriatly, at the Hard Rock Cafe. But, this cafe is known for having locations in loads of different cities all over the world, which one could have hosted this? The date is Dec. 13 of 2007. (So if anyone knows what was going on at that time, the restaurant could be pinned down) It has jumping/pointing CG Sonic on an orange background. The item is made extra special because the strap also has been printed with "Sega Rocks" so the item isn't just the cardboard piece in plastic sleeve. If a country for this is determined, it will move to that country's page. Photo by SegaEU

Here is a close up of the Unleashed gray hoodie. But why would Sega EU have it, didn't it also get called "World Adventure"? The logo is nicely printed, but they sadly use faux-wear / weathering on the Werehog. The hoodie itself is very plain, just a mottled gray color with only these 2 details. Photo by SegaEU

This is a Unleashed promotional keychain with Werehog theme thought to be a booth item / give away. It features diecut shiny metal with clear enamel overlay to preserve the full color design & keep it tough. There is likely copyright info/mark on the back stamped into it. The ring is a simple one with a little chain. Photo by SegaEU

Here's a rather simple (even a bit plain) beanie type knit cap. It's here to promote Sonic Riders Zero Gravity. It just has a shape of Sonic's board with the classic Sonic Team 'Sonic Face' logo & the words "Zero Gravity" on the fold-up rim. The rest of the hat is just plain knit fabric.Photo by SegaEU

Here is a mug released for Sonic 06. It has the logo at the bottom of the box, and the mug features Sonic, Silver & Shadow, all in CG. The mug itself appears to be blue ceramic. Each character has a bit of a white border to help distinguish them from the dark colored mug. Photo by SegaEU

This special snowboard was made to promote Sonic & Mario at Olympic Winter games. The bottom has cool CG art of skii Mario & snowboarding Sonic, with the game's logo. Oddly, the Sonic art appears kind of dark. The upper part has all the little round token like character symbols from the game. It was never meant to be used. (no holes, no hardware, etc) There may be only one of this. Photo by SegaEU

This photo is called "a prize haul", which likely means it was a part of some kind of contest, or give-away booth stuff. There's a white embroidered "Sega" patch, a lanyard, a Zero Gravity...Tee? a card/cardboard in plastic of Riders, probably a boxed soundtrack to Sonic Black Knight, & a Sega themed lip balm. A curious selection. Photo by SegaEU

This has to be one of the coolest jean jackets ever made. The regular blue jacket has a BIG version of the Sonic & Knuckles logo on the back. With this close up, you can see the embroidered & quality details. The S&K logo was one of their best pieces of graphic design they've ever done. It's simple, conveys the look of both characters, and is an instantly recognizeable symbol. This may have been an 'employees only' available item. Photo by SegaEU
