Sonic Clothing of the USA- Modern Page 46
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 solo tee starring Amy with nice cherry petal Sakura flowers and branch, refreshing in aqua and pink. She's in an action pose with her piko hammer in the out of frame/rectangle graphic. Her name is at the top, then spelled out again in cursive kind of over the 'page' for an artsy look.
The whole tee is a nice shade of pink too. It's very Amy-like, stylish and there hasn't been anything similar so it's a good one to choose for her fans. It is adult size at Hot Topic in fall 2024, and should be about 15 dollars which is reasonable.
What makes it oversize (other than purposely buying a large size)? Notice how long the sleeves are in proportion to the rest of it, they're longer than usual. The body section is also somewhat longer than the normal adult size shirt proportion.
This is meant to be a touch 90s looking, and it is good to see Knuckles associated with 94 (as Sonic is 91) It's all black with a gritty purple-tone background (city escape maybe?) and his name in contrasting hot yellow-green/wide video-game type font makes this 90s styled to a degree. The Knuckles graphic looks really good in a big size here, very bold. This is another Hot Topic fall 2024 item and is 15 dollars.
Is this the first tube top of Sonic something? It could be. Why a tube? Because you can...put your body into the fabric tube and then hope it stays there I guess. It's just basically a wide piece of stretchy fabric with no strap nor sleeve (don't get a sun burn)
It's all black with only red and gray ink for modern annoyed fist-out Knuckles. It has his name at the top in a sort of 3D font, and some red rings at the bottom. It may spell his name in Japanese up one side...but what's the slogan across him there? The entry at Hot Topic doesn't tell you. (You can write in if you know) This is 20 dollars (less sleeves=more money?)
It's basically just a comfy casual outfit for pjs or home use with regular shorts and a short tee with straps instead of sleeves. The fabric here is 'lounge soft', and a light pink color. It has an all-over scatter pattern of the same smiling 'old fashion toony-style' classic Sonic and large rings. It's a bit busy, but the graphics are large enough to keep it from being overly so. If you lounge in warm weather, this is 20 dollars.
And it sort of lives up to the name? The tee itself is pale gray, and "team" is written in pink, but not too much else is pastel about it. The arrangement of characters is slightly unusual, because it has Amy in the star position with Sonic & Knuckles to either side of her, and then surprised/startle looking Tails is flying in the background. There's also a few clouds, some lines and a 'toony' palm tree.
The set up is quite classic, with everyone done in a neoclassic pose. A nice one for Amy fans because she's clearly the star here, and it keeps the tee fresh looking. This is an adult tee, and it should be a Hot Topic item at about 18 dollars in summer 2024.
A good deal on a kids tee. This is the "Let's Go Fast! Sonic Tee". It's a light yellow, with profile running (Japan style) classic Sonic at the top. His colors are chosen for rectangle/bar speed lines behind him across the front, and the slogan is spelled out in an...older video game style font? In black.
Most 5 Belows have a few sections in them with shirts, so you should comb over the whole store to find this if you don't see it right away. This is a summer/fall 2024 item
The bright colors look nice on the black tee, and it does make the most of the fonts as well. This is a nice one, but still a kids/teens size and about 20 dollars.
The first is the Checker Face Sonic tee, and it has an interesting effect. They set up the checkers of dark/light blue in a radiating way from the middle, and 'textured' the whole full color face with them so it has kind of a 'hypno-design' type of effect. But..what's with the art they chose? That forward-facing face
These are Fall 2024 Target items.
Target is also releasing on their fall line toddler/small long sleeve tees with classic style. The first is the "Life in the Fast Lane" tee, which has STK with palm tree and 'magazine cut out font' for the slogan. It has dark navy sleeves with matching collar and white body. All the art here is full color and neoclassic.
The blue tee has a neoclassic Sonic art where he's going 'through' a yellow circle background over the full color classic logo. There's nothing super new here, but really little kids don't have a big build up of shirts (natrually) so it doesn't really matter. These are sold as a 2 pack only, and it is 27 dollars.
It looks that way with this, the "Logo Characters Sonic Tee". It's a bright blue tee with STK and the modern logo. It uses the slightly 'riders like' shading for the art which is a bit stark but colorful. Usually Bio World does big kids and teens, but this was marked for adult sizes on Amazon, and the price matches the size at a bit more than usual, which is 20 dollars. This is a fall 2024 item.
Of course there's the color, one's black, the other is navy blue...but desipte it being labeled as 'the same design', it sure isn't because Shadow is omitted from the blue one entirely, and the positions AND poses of the characters are moved, while the Sonic face stays the same. (As do the pixel squares in the background.
Both shirts are 20 dollars and Amazon fall 2024 items.
You can be, with this (apparently a theme) new style for Sonic art. Like other previous art-ideas/themes, several shirts/items will be released in a similar style under the label like that 'graffiti style' and the 'tropical look' that they've done before. This one, of course, uses pop art as inspiration with bright colors, big shapes and slogans.
The blue tee is Unstoppable Crew, with STK and a busy background of colorful lines. The red one has "Superpowered
They may, because they're deliberately biting on the style of that popular but expensive brand "SUPREME" where all it does is write its name in red across an item and sell it.
So, in this case, they write Sonic in a similar fashion and then place an art of him in the middle of an otherwise plain shirt. There is a 3rd shirt in the series, it is black and identical to the white one except for the tee color.
But these have minimal design for them, despite being 20 dollars each. Look at the left tee though...he's wrongly colored on purpose with too-yellow used for the beige areas, pale odd blue, hot-pinkish shoes, and a red nose...sound familiar? Jakks Pacific deliberately released the 'wrong color figures' who had these exact problems on purpose. What's up with that? What does that represent? Why put it on a tee? It's going to look bootleg.
