I'm thinking of producing some t-shirts with pinball art. I know what i like...was wondering if you guys would tell me which you like. I've seen logo shirts but i like the characters in the games.
Let me know if you guys like any...or none of these...i'd appreciate it!

Personally, I would be more inclined to get several of these if the game logo was on the front left breast, and the art was on the back.

Like anything. There is so much to look at on some of those Python designs, would be cool to have a t shirt. Maybe the astronauts from BOP all over the shirt doing various things, etc.

That is good.

I remember years back when a guy on RGP listed similar items he would make and for sale. He heard from Williams pretty quick and did exactly what they wanted.

Yeah, I have to say, these designs are pretty boring and uninspired. "Take part of logo, put on shirt, done". I wouldn't wear any of them myself.

If you have access to all the Williams art then there are so many more creative things that could be done that would be actually interesting and compelling. It would take more work, but without some work I don't see any of these being worth the time to make.

My 2¢.

Would also be cool with some statements from the games call outs or for example a text and some art that only the pinheads would know. Maybe some art piece from monster bash and a text with let's say "I'm scared of the moon", or "Melbourne cadaver club". Or "I see you!" And a pic of pinbots face. You get the idea =) even a plain text that says "For amusement only" in the appropriate font would be cool.

Btw I like the bop shirt.

Not trying to nitpick, I for one would love some pinball shirts; However, most of these designs look very similar to already existing art files all over the web that alot of people use for visual pinball ect. I personally think a bit more would be needed for me to purchase these. Example being a slogan or something. Not sure how to explain it except for it needing more.

We have several licensed shirts available and have had them at multiple shows this year. One is Dr Dude and they are $25 each. There is also a Medieval madness, Williams, Earthshaker and a couple more Available.

You can order them at PinballSWAG.com.

We also have several more including a Whirlwind, Bally, Big Guns and a couple more Williams designs waiting for legal approval right now.

Clint Eastwood and Creature are off limits from what we have been told by Rick. As well as all other third party titles except Elvira (which I am working on a couple).

Most of the current designs are on the front of a shirt, but if you ask we can print it on the back. Most of the original promo shirts where on the front.

C for logos, A for unique designs (ie. plastics or playfield art that only pinheads would 'get' right away)

T-shirts and maybe a decent Flexfit hat are the only apparel I'd personally be interested in.

The most appealing to the masses would be a to shirt with art on the back only. Many will not wear a to shirt with any art on the front. I myself like a front logo and back art.

I think pinball shirts would be cool, but just repurposing existing art seems to be missing out on an opportunity to do something really cool. We work with Fan Gamer to create original art that is inspired by our games. They take identifiable elements from different video games and create new art for the shirts that isn't so "on the nose".

Something closer to that would be a lot more interesting to me.

I'd like to have one of Fish Tales. I think the artwork on the backglass is perfect for the back of a shirt. I'm sure a lot of other guys that fish would wear them, too. Also, for what it's worth, I like the baseball-type tees.
