Sonic Clothing of the USA- Modern Page 34
With the 'Boom Ban' gone, the USA can branch out into modern style Sonic stuff again. Watch for great new stock art (From Sega) to appear on these shirts. Both little and big sizes will likely continue. Little sizes are still ok to collect, even if you don't fit into them, because you can still fit the shirt into a frame if you like the design to make it like a poster. However, it should be noted that Kohls, JC Penny, Hot Topic, and FYE are also getting into carrying Sonic shirts. GKWorld may also be getting into shirts as well!
You can also shop at the Sonic Gear Clothing Store. .(Gear store actually has a ton of stuff, about 2 pages of it, but it DOES rotate & sell out.
It's a white tee with a Sonic face on it but...he's all the way at the top of the tee such that the ears go over the shoulders. He's forward-facing too, and the sleeves are blue so like..his face is the sleeves also? Or the spikes? And the head is just hovering there/there's no body or anything, just white tee material and then the full color modern logo in the bottom corner. So anyone wearing it it would look like their head was kind of growing out of the Sonic head? This odd-it-tee appears in winter 2021, but where?
While socks and underwear are in multi packs a lot, this is a first for shirts. These can only be bought as 3 of them like this all at once in 2021. The torso part of each tee is themed to the color of the character, and the face has no outline for a little of the design theme 'the item is the face' that companies sometimes like to use (to good or ill effect hmm)
In this case you get neoclassic Knuckles, Sonic & Tails, all with forward-facing faces. The art for Knuckles shows him as pleasant/normal which is unusual no matter modern or classic. They have the lesser-used 'cheering Tails' face, but without the body/cheer pose on there it loses some context and may come across as yelling a bit. Sonic/forward facing is very standard. The Sonic & Knuckles shirts have charcoal collars and sleeves while the Tails one uses a lighter mottled gray. (Why? Did the dark color appear to dull the yellowish orange too much or something?) The sizes on these are LIKELY to be kids, but do they go up to teens so more people could choose them? How much are they & where do you find this 3 pack?
This one brings back the gold...using shiny gold foil for the running forward Modern Sonic & the modern logo at the top. The shirt doesn't slouch on the rest of the design though, it has scattered & somewhat various light blue-on-darker-blue modern Sonic line arts. These appear to cover the entire fabric for the rest of the shirt. They are done in a close enough color to the shirt fabric itself that it does not appear to make the design busy.
What company produces this? Where is it sold? You can write in for credit.
This MAY be one of the first uses for this neoclassic art for him. It's a good one too, and a good choice to set him up in an action/fun pose like this. Classic Sonic is great, but the over-use of art can lead designs/shirts to look boring or 'already have something similar'. This new art should help to avoid that. But where is this sold?
Another good design in sizes that will fit anyone. This has a fun 4 panel theme going on. The front of the tee is divided into 4 sections with one as spatter black on blue, one white with the full color logo, one with arms crossed classic style Sonic & one dark blue panel. The collar color matches the dark blue panel.
The art may be classic, but the panel look keeps the shirt fresh and interesting. It's listed as 'mens' but there's nothing particuarly men about it. How much does this cost and where is it sold?
This is the Boys or Girls Kids Jogging 3 Piece Sonic Set. The name's a bit long, but it's interesting to see them throwing "Girls" in there because for whatever reason, it rarely happens. The choices are a bit unusual as well, because the yellow tee gives you a solo Eggman item (rare already) perfect for Eggfans. It says "Dr. Eggman" at the top and then has a hashtag below him in aqua and pink. But what is it? The factory photo always has the 2nd tee covering the word. Looks like #YOU ? But why? The other tee is white with a blue color/bluescale modern jumping/hand up Sonic on a pink palm tree stencil/spray style background. It has "Let's Roll!" slogan in light green at the bottom. The shorts are a mottled medium gray, with just the modern word Sonic up the side of one leg, kind of small. It's great that there's unusual color use going on, as well as a Sonic element on each item. This set is online at Target, as well as should be in stores. It's about 22 dollars.
It has a white body, blue collar and red sleeves. The design is classic forward-facing Sonic with a background of blue & yellow cubes. At the bottom under his feet is written "SonicSpeed". It doesn't do anything new or wildly different, but it's a solid enough/primary colors type design if you didn't have something similar already. But, it is good to see Sonic on a diverse range of things.
It's a gray short sleeve with a scattered pattern. It has only a single art for modern Sonic, in only blue & black line art. This is repeated all over the tee pointing in random directions. The only other element is the modern logo, done in only black line work. It too is scattered in any direction. The items are large enough that the shirt doesn't come across as busy. Because the fabric is randomly pattered like that, the design is literally all-over.
What sizes does this come in? Where is it sold?
This is a Winter 2021 release tee, but where is it sold? The main body of the white tee is covered in blue paint spatter/paint drops. The sleeves are plain white. Over the spatter is the word "Sonic" written vertically up one side, very large in a logo-similar blocky font. It has jumping twist Sonic & flying Tails above him for the graphic. They partially overlap the word. This is a fun tee, very modern looking, and nicely designed. The giant word keeps it from being too busy & Sonic with Tails are large/colorful for the design. It is likely a teens size shirt.
