Sony launches PlayStation apparel

[jako]

Since the dawn of the PlayStation brand, Fans have created their own game based swag. Now Sony has stepped up to the plate to offer gamers the ability to buy their gaming apparel rather then make it themselves. Apparel makers Fortune Fashions, Bioworld and MJC will be heading up this project.

The new line of PlayStation centric apparel will be sold through the website IVGear.com, apparently. The first games to be made available on the merchandise are as followed; SOCOM; Jak; Twisted Metal; Ratchet & Clank; Gran Turismo; God of War; Resistance; PaRappaTheRapper; LittleBigPlanet; Heavenly Sword; and Uncharted. There will also be apparel simply featuring the PlayStation logo.

Shelly Gayner, Director of Licensing for SCEA, had this to say in the press release:

"PlayStation is an extremely strong and well-known brand. We feel that this is a great opportunity for us to satiate our core fans and extend and capitalize on PlayStation name recognition by creating a new line of apparel in connection with the PlayStation brands and our top franchise titles."

No release day has been set for the apparel's release.

"New line of apparel"....there is already a PlayStation brand of clothing. You used to be able to buy it at playstation.com, but now I think you have to go to a Sony store to get it.

Adult sized "Sackboy" costume for next Halloween FTMFW!!!

[Lucent Beam]

I wonder if any of it will be cute enough to warrant buying.

[kaphwan]

What the fuck?

THINK OF THE FINAL FANTASY COSPLAYOSSIBILITIES

[yoshaw]

I'll be damned the day I walk out the house with videogames clothes on.

[yoshaw]

^Why say that? Embarassed or any other reason?

[Matt]

I wouldn't be embarassed, but I know I'd probably get a lot of laughs around here.

i would rock a black polo with the GT logo on it anyday

[LiquidEagle]

I'd have no problem wearing an LBP shirt, personally. I'm not really into clothes with logos but if it's a game I think is sweet and the design is cool (and the shirt is comfy!), I'll go for it. I already have this Katamari shirt:

and it's comfy as hell. :-D

I have a pair of PlayStation Nike Air Force 1's they look sweet, everytime I wear them I turn heads.

I want one of those, that's awesome!

[LaLiLuLeLo]

I have a green mushroom 1up shirt. I'd be all about some of these. The designs just need to be slick.

[Sephiroth_VII]

I have way too many gaming t-shirts to count, only bested by my anime swag.

MGS3, MGS2, MGS, GT, one with a PS logo, GoW, and it goes on, and on, and on...

[jako]

I see myself with a nice LBP tee shirt.
I'll offer 1 to my kids also.

One thing Sony needs to majorly do if they make a lot of T-shirts & stuff is that they need to make some goddamn mediums! I don't know how many cool shirts we got at Gamestop that were all XL because they assumed we gamers were complete fatasses, when nobody in that store wore anything bigger than a Large.

Adult sized "Sackboy" costume for next Halloween FTMFW!!!

OFT. That would be very kool.

I will take a hoodie and a beanie hat with the Playstation logo on them please....:)

[gibmonster]

So it's cosplay type stuff?

I want an Drake costume, please!

Maybe one of those MGS Ninja costumes...in Large ofcourse. lol

A T-Shirt would be just as good.

[OG_Monkey]

^Why say that? Embarassed or any other reason?

I'm way too cool for it...oh yea

i would rock a black polo with the GT logo on it anyday

Ulgh, I hate polos...some....

make the design airbrushed on a black tee and I'm sold.

Care to show us a picture of these? I'm really curious about their appearance.

[venomv]

If they look good would wear them. I have this shirt now, it kinda qualifies....more of a parady then anything.

PS forces? Now this I gotta see!

[the boney king of nowhere.]

some of the stuff has the potential to be cool, if it's sleek artwork or whatever. just no game logos, otherwise it crosses inyto real nerd territory.

[Jay Gee]

Depending on where I plan to go that day, I wouldn't have a problem wearing a videogame shirt. Plus, I can always wear them at home to show off to my buddies during voice chat sessions. An Uncharted hoodie with the "jungle skull" on the back would fucking OWN.

[Diresu]

Makes me wonder if this might be step 1 of making the shirts users create in home into reality.

[Jay Gee]

That would be incredible. At some point in time, I'd probably purchase some type of clothing, but I wouldn't mind making my own.

[GTAce]

You should expect a lot of GT-Shirts (kekekeke) from me than. (^-^)

[Red]

That means we will get playstation stuffed t-shirts or what??

[Zer0-Sum]

An Uncharted hoodie with the "jungle skull" on the back would fucking OWN.

Hells yah!! Hook me up too!!! :)
