Two awesome concept video game shirts

Geekologie’s got the scoop on two amazing design concepts for shirts for geeky girls. I love the subtleness of the pac-man shirt. It’s not a giant in-your-face logo, but wonderfully geeky just the same.

This is a picture of two conceptual video game shirts that Geekologie tipster Jessica sent me. Aaaaand that’s all the information we have. Anybody seen these before? Are they being manufactured? Do YOU want to manufacture them? Because if you do I swear I won’t tell the original designer or the Pac-Man and Tetris copyright owners. IRead more at www.geekologie.com
 

Tetris tattoo too much for you? Try this bracelet.

If the Tetris Tattoos we featured a few days ago went a little bit beyond your commitment to the classic block stacker but you’re still a fan, you might be interested in this piece that’s making it’s way around the geek blogs today. Done in lucite, this bracelet takes the “retro” in “retro-fashion” to mean “8-bit”, and I wholeheartedly approve.

The Tetris bracelet isn’t vintage in theory since it’s a new production, but it does have a retro style that geeky gamers might just fall for. Read more at inventorspot.com
 

Wi-Fi Status… shirt?

I guess my only question would be, does it show only unlocked wifi or all wifi. Cause all could get annoying. You would know it was there… but you couldn’t touch it. Well, I guess you can’t touch it either way, but, well, you get what I’m saying here.

Wi-Fi Signal Status for You and the World!

Here at ThinkGeek we’re pretty lazy when it comes to technology. We expect our gadgets to do all the busywork while we focus on the high level important tasks like reading blogs. That’s why we hate to have to crack open our laptops just to see if there is any wi-fi internet access about… and keychain wi-fi detectors, we would have to actually remove them from our pockets to look at them. But now thanks to the ingenious ThinkGeek robot monkeys you can display the current wi-fi signal strength to yourself and everyone around you with this stylish Wi-Fi Detector Shirt. The glowing bars on the front of the shirt dynamically change as the surrounding wi-fi signal strength fluctuates. Finally you can get the attention you deserve as others bow to you as their reverential wi-fi god, while geeky chicks swoon at your presence. You can thank us later.

Photoshop Tie

Check out this amazing find from Steve Woolf of Epic Fu!

When I saw it, my first thought was how sad it was that you’d forever be stuck choosing just one tool - then I realized the hand is clipped on! Genius.

Okay, so it’s more of a “neck ribbon” than tie, but still, pretty  amazing.

For when your Starfleet “Dress Uniform” isn’t really appropriate

When you need to go out in 20th century duds, at least you can stay true to your Starfleet roots by rocking these communicator-pin cufflinks.

Of course, I’d have to own a suit that needed cufflinks to wear these, but they’re still pretty snazzy.

Rigeekulous Fashion - C3P0 Leggings

Our friends at Trendhunter has a few pieces on “Space Cadet Fashion” that they’ve been featuring, and these caught my eye. There’s some different variants at the source, but these are a very cool (or at least awesomely geeky) variation on the shiny metalic “American Apparel” tights that seem to be sweeping hipster Brooklyn.

“plugs & ports” T-shirt

“AV” T-shirt covers your back in plugs and ports

avteethreadless.jpg

Although it commits the sin of putting the most interesting graphics on the back, the “AV” T-shirt by Olly Moss must be forgiven considering its subject matter: a full range of audio and video inputs spread wide across your back. It’s cute, but I must resist, even at $20 — I’d never be able to stop thinking about how much better it would look on the front of the shirt. Plus I wouldn’t be able to practice plugging in component cables to my nipples.

Wow. I want this really badly, but I don’t think I’d ever actually wear it out. Great idea though!
