I think a lot of people in this hobby kind of hate the moniker "pinball wizard"
I would not wear anything that says it on it fwiw and i own like 15 pinball shirts
Quoted from webdiddy:But I do think it's a great gift for non pinheads to give to actual pin owners. "oh, John would love this"!
No I dont want a shirt with an old grumpy guy on the front.
Minneapolis, MN
Maybe a smelly, middle-age, fat, lonly guy, playing pinball, with PINBALL WIZARD written below?
I would buy that.
I don't dislike it. I do think the proposal to make it funny would work better. Not sure I need a fat old smelly guy on my shirt. But something along that line with the pinball wizard wording works better for me that an actual wizard.
Quoted from fiberdude120:No I dont want a shirt with an old grumpy guy on the front.
Nor would I ever expect a positive guy like you to wear one 
Quoted from bonzo442:I'm in but I would give it to the 3 anti-pinball women in my house on their birthdays
Good idea! 
Anyway, I know they can be found here: http://pinbrawler.storenvy.com/products/19563106-pinball-wizard-short-sleeve-t-shirt
I think it's a cool shirt regardless of what some on here think.
Those of us who were part of the pinball culture when it was coined appreciate the terminology.
I like the pinball lizard idea. Maybe a lizard in a wizard hat!! I want this one. With the right art this will sell! It's a cool shirt anyhow- but lizard had me laughing.

Royalties goes to me to lizardise my Lizard Lounge game room, since I am currently crowned the Pinball Lizard.
Quoted from Cash_Riprock:The original pinball wizard shirt from 1974. I still have one.
I remember that Shirt!
I had a similar T shirt. Actually I think the Pinball wizard shirt was the first shirt I ever got from the mall. That instant press your shirt shop. Second one likely KISS followed close by Farrah! Yeah both poster and shirt.
Those hot pressed decal shirts thought suck thought when your older than 12. It traps heat and makes you sweat and feels weird. Then after a while cracks chips off and looks like crap. Imo
A lot of guys had the Farrah poster on their bedroom walls.
Yeah those heat transfer shirts were kind of lame and did make you sweat. After a few washes they would crack and get pretty-disintegrated.
I remember another shirt I had back then. It was during the oil embargoes of the 70s and read, "Eat Beans America Needs The Gas".
One time I was sent home from school for wearing a T-shirt that said, "Ass, Grass, or Gas.. Nobody Rides For Free".
I'd like a Dirty Donny shirt but the shirts seem to be always black. Also, I don't think I'd want to walk around wearing a shirt that has "Pinball Wizard" on it. Kinda geaky if you ask me.
In case you haven't realized it yet, the entire pinball hobby is considered "geeky" by most who aren't into it.
I remember when I told one of my co-workers that I was going to a pinball show he sarcastically asked me if I was going to attend a Star Trek convention afterwards.
lol
