SorceressKnight Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 I'd buy the Hideo shirt as I can see it being a limited edition when people realize they're using the Imperial Rising Sun logo. They released a shirt saying "Lass Kicker" and people are as concerned about that background? The men's version of that shirt has officially soared to the lead of "shirts you couldn't even remotely think of getting away with wearing in public- even by wrestling shirt standards"- you're off the hook, Samuel Shaw's "Creepy Bastard" shirt!
wrestlerotica Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 I think the Lass Kicker shirt is pretty hilarious, though I'd never wear it so.

The thing with the background is, it's offensive to a lot of Asian cultures. It would be like if they promoted Jack Swagger, Real American and used the Confederate Flag instead of the American flag. So yes, the Imperial logo is way more offensive than a pun about being a woman who beats up other women and an ass kicker
NikoBaltimore Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 And to follow-up on that, a quick search shows why that should never be used. Had no idea about this, so good to know. And yeah, that means none of these shirts will be in my collection. Oh, well. One article on why the Hideo shirt is not a good idea (really hope they fix that in a future shirt) http://thewandereronline.com/why-one-should-never-use-the-japanese-rising-sun-flag-by-dongwoo-kim/ 1
JRGoldman Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 So masked republic is selling awesome Team Rudo, Team Tecnico and Team Exotico baseball jersey right now. If you buy the team Exotico one, $5 goes to help with Cassandro's medical bills.
Tromatagon Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 I bought my team rudo one before I knew that These guys ship fast as fuck mine is already on the way
SorceressKnight Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 For the NXT shirts- WWE's system works. The Becky Lynch "Lass Kicker" shirt is now in women's sizes only, and the Hideo Itami shirt with the Rising Sun background's been pulled outright.

Just saying. 1
odessasteps Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Did the Real Americans ever have any Dont Tread on Me style merch?

Casey Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Did the Real Americans ever have any Dont Tread on Me style merch? Nothing outright, but some promo videos with Swagger & Zeb had them standing infront of the "Don't Tread on Me" flag with the snake. I think the closest you'll get, merch wise, is probably this:
mco543 Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 It looks like NXT is going to be 3 for 3 with new t-shirts getting pulled. I hope they all adopt Nightcrawler themed attire to divert from what BAMF stands for.

Justin877 Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 It looks like Scrabble and a Perros Del Mal t shirt had a baby!
odessasteps Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 I was in the grocery store today and i had a guy recognize my Hechicero t-shirt. He pointed at it, said "rudo!" And gave me a thumbs up. (There is a sizable Mexican/Hispanic population in the area that works in the mushroom business, so there are usually a number of Latin folks in the store when i go shopping.) 2
J.T. Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 If the tree were placed lower then it'd look like giant Rock was coming out the ocean and leaning on it. Just like Aphrodite and Godzilla, mother fuckers.
JRGoldman Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 That Neville shirt looks like a Jeff Hardy shirt where they just pencilled in a little more of the logo. Even the catchphrase fits.
The Natural Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Had to buy this shirt when I attended my first ever wrestling event in April this year: I also bought an "I Was There 2015" shirt with WWE Superstars/Divas on the front and on the back the dates on the tour. 1
J.T. Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Bless you, Turnbuckle Tees. I am saving up for my Bullet Club hoodie.
MGFanJay Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 The new red, white, and blue FIGHT OWENS FIGHT shirt that plays off of Steen using Cena's old HUSTLE LOYALTY RESPECT font is great. 1
MGFanJay Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Four - this one, the KO nuts and bolts one, the original KO shirt, and the silver FIGHT OWENS FIGHT one from Raw.
Hoarr Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 That silver one was trash. This RWB one is glorious. Also, vintage shirts: 1
