Gonna get me a shmup shirt, need images.

[Captain]

Over my mysterious connections, I'm getting a shirt with any image that I choose on it.

Of course, I'd like it to be shmup themed. And I gathered about 10 "final" choice images that could be on it.

But why stop if I could potentially get something better. So please, suggest any images you think would fit.

I need an image that tells people that shmups are hard and awesome, but does not consist of something only a shmupper would understand, say, a ridiculous bullet pattern, certain boss, or wahtnot, I need someone who has no idea what a shmup is to see the shirt and want to play a shmup based only on the look.

Your contributions are most welcome. Thanks in advance.

that's a hard one. I'm out of ideas.

Put this on the front to attract all the Xbros and other current gen game players. Yes, its not a real port but they will be interested and ask which is key right?:



Then put this on the back cause you know

Tempting, but kuro is literally a prefix that means dick over here, so it is out of the question.

That was pretty awesome. Loud laugh +1 over here.

A worthy candidate indeed! Thanks Bil, you fail to dissapoint as always.

(Mod Edit: As much personal affinity as I have for this image, too big. )

I don't know... I used to wear graphic tees, but one day I came to a realization that just because a thing is awesome, does not mean it will be awesome on a T-shirt I prefer to be boring these days...

This might be a winner, unlike the other stuff, it beats all but one of the images I found before making this thread.

...however the medal shirt is incredibly nifty in another way entirely and I think I'm going to put it in queue for later.

People look at this and think its a random cool symbol, they can't recognize it without experience, which they probably lack, so its out.

So you need something to make random outsiders think you’re a dork, is that what you basically mean?

If these YGW ever exist I'd be all over them. Good stuff.

I'm glad people found that comforter thread as funny as I did.

Chempop's designs are great in my opinion. I really like the medals one.

Ascended dork.

I don't mind this. Could be a different colour though.

edit: some of the shirts there are pretty good. I'd wear the toothpaste one.
