Sonic Clothing of the USA- Modern Page 44
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.
But you sort of can't tell. This particular art of him, and how his name is positioned (vertical and horizontal) was kind of 'the thing' they used for the 30th...but if you didn't know that, it just looks like a Sonic shirt. Bio World states what it's for in their description for it at Amazon, but it seems like that's it. (There should be an anniversary year/logo thing on there to make it special, even if it was small) Naturally this is a summer 2024 item
This Bio World 2 Piece Set specifically says its for girls who want to look cool while riding bikes. (Can't anyone just ride a bike in anything? The shirt looks completley normal and there's nothing bicycle-ish about any of this??) It's a nice black tee with ordinary proportions with thumbs-up modern Sonic in front of pinkish rays/lines. His shoes match the pinkish color of the rays. The shorts look like sports shorts with pinkish star outlines all over them. There's a forward-face at the bottom of one leg, and the modern logo. If the shorts are that lycra-only stretch fabric (biker shorts) it doesn't seem to mention or not. It's a decent set, if you didn't already have something with a similar look. This is about 27 dollars at Amazon
While not all that specific, the design is still pretty nice here because some effort was put into making it look different enough. You've got neoclassic stock art for Sonic, Tails & Knuckles in full color, over yellow-only silouette sunflower and palm tree. The bottom has his name spelled out in the logo font (but with rings between each letter) The top has a triangle and very large letter "S" as an unusal graphic design type element. The blue bar at the bottom resembles water for the scene. Everything appears colorful/nice on the all-black tee shirt background. A nice choice for any adults at 17 dollars. This may be a Kohls stores exclusive in summer 2024
These 2 are at Kohls in summer 2024. The left tee is all black with the game logo at the top, and most of the cast in CG as a group portrait that's pretty large. You can spot 3 Kokos there too. The right side shirt is all blue with just CG 'ready Sonic' in front of the ring-like circle icon thing from the game. The logo appears under his foot. Both are pretty reasonable at 17 dollars each.
But probably anybody could wear it. (The 'girls' part seems to be the smaller size of the sleeves than what would be average) This uses a seldom-seen neoclassic art for Sonic where the view is sort of from below. But then it makes the spikes very...minimized? It's dynamic...but a bit odd when viewed with other neoclassic and actual classic art. The colors are a bit 'washed out'/paler on purpose here, and the tee itself is a pale gray. This all combines for a bit of an unusual look. It's reasonably priced at 11 dollars in summer 2024
Jumping Beans is for quite-little kids only, and a very popular brand at Kohls stores. This is a nice bright blue tee with modern logo, STK, shaded palm trees, some rings, and checkering for the ground. It's a tidy design with nice colors at a good size. Very solid, if you didn't have something similar. It's also always a decent price at only about 9 dollars because it is very small. Summer 2024 item.
Now...why anyone would want to announce they're lousy at video games is a total mystery but here we go. This bright light aqua tee features a huge 16 bit sprite of Sonic dying as rings fly out all around him. (they're pixelated too) The classic logo is normal at the bottom, in full color.
This is another one of those where the designers just put anything, because Sonic specifically does NOT die when he loses rings like this, that is the entire purpose of the rings! So, not only bad at games but bad at like...actually remembering what happens in games also, I guess.
The unique (er) thing about this is that it appears in the Juniors section of Kohls stores, which is generally young-womens/older teens etc. & Sonic stuff is almost never there. This is 22 dollars in summer 2024
It uses the common 'poster art' of Sonic, Tails & Knuckles running through the city like background with the neon signs. It simply pastes this 'poster' design onto the front of the all black tee.
(Really, it should have had the logo for Mania somewhere, or Sega, or something, because of the way its presented it almost looks like it could be fake because it's just the art of the poster plopped on there)
This is a Kohls item (possibly exclusive), probably online only. It should be about 17 dollars in summer 2024
JB only makes little kids size stuff, and they mostly sell at Kohls (which is where these are found) Each of these 4 features classic style art. You've got the usual forward-facing Sonic on blue, a nicely designed one with neoclassic art for STK, grid lines, big logo and "lets roll" slogan, an all-over print blue tee with various classic faces as line art only & a red tee with finger-waving classic Sonic & his name written vertically in black/white checkers.
Being for little kids you can't really say "good, if you didn't already have something similar" because chances are that these are 'first shirts' for a lot of people. Each one should be about 13 or so dollars.
The first and 3rd are a variant of each other with just different fabric, and shading vs not on the art. It's neoclassic Sonic jumping through the ring with the logo above. The 2nd tee is 'racing' style with that same art (but cut off) "I'm outta here" slogan, and checkered flag/ racing logo theme. There's a black "Let's Roll Sonic" shirt with him looking...annoyed? Neoclassic face. A tank top appears, which is a bit interesting since they are uncommon. It's also got a nice amount of design work going on it with colors for the straps, "Lets roll" slogan,
Which is a good thing, because it's a bargain at 10 dollars in summer 2024 at Kohls. It has punching forward modern Sonic (a less common art, it seems) over his name written as line art and 3D effect. The colors here are 'washed out' a bit on purpose, with everything a bit paler. The shirt itself isn't black, it's actually dark navy blue. A good deal, even if you do have something similar.
Is this the first Jersey that's actually made out of the right fabrics (not just a 'jersey cut')? It could be. Interestingly enough, they choose Shadow to star on this one alone. It's all black, with a red/white border for the collar and sleeve holes. The design has just him with finger/pointing up/out in a red circle with textured edges. His name is spelled out across the top where the team name would be. The font chosen here is interesting, as it is slightly gothic? The fact that this is a jersey makes it more interesting, and the solo Shadow design will draw in fans to this more unique item.
This is a Summer 2024 Hot Topic exclusive, and should be about 35 dollars because it is made of that special jersey material.
(Does that mean its supposed to be a tee you got from your boyfriend, or are people proclaiming that Shadow should be their racing boyfriend? Odd title here)
Either way, this is an adult size tee so it should fit most, which is nice because it's pretty stylish, and there's nothing else out there that looks like it. It makes itself out to be a car racing tee, with flaming wheel, checkered black/white flags and that 'stat bar' across the bottom. The bar says "Speed and power" and the bottom has "Green Hill Grand Prix". The Shadow art is big and dynamic, it looks great on the red checkered background. This is a nice one for Shadow fans and it's only 20 dollars.
This is a summer 2024 item, and is exclusive to Hot Topic
