Old man in a Samurai Showdown shirt!?!?!?!

It seems SNK gets support from the most unlikely people......

Check this out:

I'm walking down the street in Glendale, CA and something strikes me out of the corner of my eye, I turn and look......

It's an 80 year old man in a Samurai Showdown full print shirt! The one with Haomaru on it!

This was the first time I actually saw someone wearing one of these.... and it's on an OLD MAN!

How did he get it?

Why?

I'm still trippin'

Theres a program in england called "Never mind the Buzzcocks". One of the presenters had the same shirt on too!

That's pretty easy....Was it one of the overly-popular Hawaiian/bowling-type shirts that have been seen with anime/video game characters????
This just means he himself, or someone went to The Alley in Downtown LA (I'm from LA origionally myself) and bought it.
:o

I've seen these shirts sold at Hot Topics, too- in the malls.

Are they Endorsed by SNK/Aruse??? I'd bet $100 bucks that they ARE NOT. So, they are actually bootleg items, allthough most fans don't let it phase them when buying. I own a few of these type of shirts myself, and they are VERY cool. The cool-looking factor comes into play, and many non-fans of the series/game just get them, and have NO CLUE who the hell is on the shirt they're wearing. I've stopped asking anyone wearing those type of shirts if they LIKE anime/video games, as i've been a bit dissapointed in the past with the answers i've got...

I'd do a double-take if I saw my Grandpa wearing a shirt with Haomaru on it too, tho!!

Damn straight!

I still didn't have time to pick up the Haohmaru one

Am I the only person who thinks these shirts are fugly? Am I the only person who wouldn't caught DEAD wearing one of these things. As much as I love SNK and its characters and as much as I would love to impregnate a SNK receptionists/booth girl, I feel nothing but hate for these shirts.

thinking about you,

way hey neobuyer...

thats IAN BROWN !!!

good !

Haomaru shirts?!

Hot topix??
R U kidding?

I wouldn't be caught dead with this

It's SNK and all.

But it's trendy stuff.

No way doodz

I love those shirts!

Does anybody have any idea of the entire range of characters that get put on these shirts? I can spot the Neo Geo characters with no problem, but the other night I was out shooting pool with some friends and some guy came into the hall wearing a shirt like that and it sure wasn't a Neo Geo character that was on his shirt. It looked like something out of a Hong Kong comic, and I'd even venture to say it was Solar Lord, but I'm not 100% sure. There's no mistaking F.L. Koo's art, but I couldn't exactly place the character. I just gotta wonder how many companies get their characters "borrowed" for these shirts.

I dig those shirts too. Let's see which one's I have:

Slash Hanzo from 64II
Bust Haohmaru from 64II
Slash Genjuro from 64
Kazuki from SS4
Seishiro from Warrior's Rage
Slash Asra from 64II
Bust Asra from 64II
Slash Kazuki from 64
Tohma from Warrior's Rage

Can you tell I love these shirts?!

I seen ones with Bust Kazuki from 64II and Zankuro on them too; but I really wish I could find one with Slash Sogetsu from 64II on it.
