Apparel Ideas for the Gamer on Your Christmas List

During the holiday shopping extravaganza, you may be wondering what interesting thing to get that gamer friend on your list. While games or anything hardware related are always great ideas, sometimes that could be an expensive undertaking and there are plenty of neat things out there that do not cost an arm and leg. Clothing is one of those things, because you can get gamer or geek t-shirts pretty cheap, and nothing says “I am a gamer, hear me roar” or ” I am proud to be a nerd” like a very cool shirt.

Here are just some of the neat ones I came across while doing a bit of shopping last night:

This shirt was found on ThinkGeek.com, and VERY cool website that anyone worth their weight in achievement points would be aware of. Not only do they have some great items for sale, but they have tons of t-shirts just begging to be purchased. I just recently bought something for myself from the site just a couple of days ago.

This is my favorite gamer t-shirt of all time: the Viva Miyamato. Mine is so very very worn out, that I am thankful this one is still around so that I can still show off my geekiness to the masses in my little town. They do not understand it in the slightest I am sure, and they probably think I am some sort of communist, but that is all part of the fun. You can get it from pennyarcade.com.

A must have item for anyone who is an RPG nut, especially for those of us who were (and still are) passionate about our rouge, paladin, monk or cleric. It does not matter if you prefer to be lawful good, neutral, or just plain chaotic evil–no matter what the aliment option chosen, this is a fun piece of apparel and will tell the world in no uncertain terms that you are indeed a proud cellar dweller. There are other cool shirts over on jinx.com, but I personally liked this one the best.

This Nintendo shirt from 80stees.com is pretty cool, and if you are not afraid to broadcast to the world just how old you are, it would be very fun to own. Most of us grew up on Nintendo, and even the youngest generation of gamers will be in on the joke.

For gamers who just love their MMORPG, this My Guild is greater than Your Guild shirt is a must have, especially for those who are fiercely loyal to own online pals. You can get it from offlinetshirts.com.

Valve, Half Life or Gordon Freeman fans will look snazzy in this Follow Freeman shirt over on cafepress.com. It has been a round a while, but if not too many people in your neck of the woods own one, you will at least stand out a bit more.

Other cool shirts I came across online that are not gaming related but may still be fun for this crowd, were ones regarding binary code, “come to the dark side we have cookies“, and many a Monty Python and Family Guy shirt. You can also always head over to onehorseshy and find all kinds of kooky shirts, all shirts on the sites mentioned here today will cost you under $30 before shipping and handling, so none of these will break your budget.
