If you’re a gamer you should enjoy this one, although the brand name Insert Coin Clothing harks back to the arcade generation, but all the tees and hoodies on offer are far more up to date. Taking inspiration from all your fave games including Gears of War, Mario Kart, Metal Gear Solid and Bioshock.
They’ve had a ton of exposure including a recommendation from the (not particularly funny) comedian Phil Jupitus (where’s Bill Bailey when you need him?) and appearances on the BBC, Xbox Live, Start/Select and plenty more media channels. They’ve already sold 1000′s of tees and hoodies and have a big online following, so I’m rather flummoxed why Jon Rhodes (any relation to Nick?) – one of the guys behind the company – wants our lil’ old blog to give them a shout… still we’re glad to oblige.
I’ve reviewed a few movie themed labels before and ICC work on much the same principle, if you love gaming and know the titles well, these tees should all be pretty much self-explanatory. I, to be painfully honest with you, haven’t a clue, I still can’t get a copy of Populous 2 to work on my Macbook, but that’s another story. ICC’s tees are available in different cuts for guys (s-3XL) and girls (S-L) to at $20/£25/€30 each. They also have a very hot female model …heh.
