More Sonic clothing from Japan. This page will also feature a mix of old and new items. The amount of clothing produced there should at least be on par with the UK, but photos are scarce so the sections build slowly. With some rather unique designs and no over-reliance on 'busy-ness' the clothes seen here are often quite fashionable and interesting.

This shirt was produced in 2009 by Sega and Uniqlo. It's just a simple tee with black elastic for the sleeves and collar. The design is nice, taking the swirl icon from the games and using it as a background for a fresh Sonic art. This one has him jumping in a twist with one finger up. The whole thing is done in blue-tones with screen-tone (actually stars, not dots!) which gives it an interesting look. The tag features Sonic Unleashed(spagonia) as well as some series history, and is large and glossy. Info by BlueSonikku.

This shirt was released (of course) to celebrate the arcade game Sonic the Fighters. It has portraits of almost all of the fighters in the game (There's no Super Sonic or Metal Sonic) To fill in the 9th spot in the shirt, they used the game's logo. The edge says "Sonic's Fighting Action". It looks like they used pictures directly from the game itself, as the characters appear a bit polygonal. This is an interesting and rare shirt featuring rare characters.

This t-shirt was released to help promote Sonic Adventure 1. It uses the SA1 style art, but cropped down into little square tiles that just show the characters' faces. The effect is rather neat, especially with the oddly stretched out logo below it. Photo discovered by Rae_Logan

Here are 3 more tshirts from the Japan Sonic Channel Blog. Again, they're just mock-ups and not real shirts, but they do feature some interesting and new art, which will hopefully become more widely available. The top has Sonic crumpled into a square shape for some reason, though he doesn't seem particularly displeased over it. The second has an all new and somewhat dynamic pose from the back, which looks good in its circle. The bottom shirt features a new (rather sly) expression comic-style Sonic which says "Game On" in the speech bubble and has a patterned background. At the bottom, in small print each shirt says Sonic the Hedgehog. Discovered by: Sonikkou-No-Uta

At least one of the shirts from the above image was produced, as evidenced here with the Game On yellow tee. The whole thing is done in screen tone dots, though you can't see the ones that make up Sonic. Sonic himself is a bit interesting here, looking particularly sly, and having yellow eyes (because only 3 colors were used) Also, what happened to his other eyelid? The tag is revealed to say "Sonic the Hedgehog" as well, helping it to look official.

This is an interesting shirt, it's too bad it wasn't really for sale. The photo at right reveals the tag says "not for sale", and that the shirt comes with some kind of Japanese paper. Maybe it was a prize or an incentive of some kind Discovered by SonicBoy19, photos at right by Sonicrulz14

This shirt may be from Japan, but it resembles some of the USA shirts more than it does the usual JP fare. It makes use of the seldom-seen jumping-twist modern Sonic stock art for a look of action. The background is just gray rays for either light-effect or speed-lines. It says Sonic in the old-style font at the top, and then repeats it at the bottom in Japanese. (the sub-head says Sonic * the * hedgehog) all in red so it stands out. This can be found in online shops that sell Japanese things, and occaisonally over ebay in the fall of 2009.

These children's size tees are rather old. They may have been released around the time of Sonic 1, and appear to be plain white, with just the design in the middle of the chest area. The old 'Segasonic' name is used on the (rather industrial and neat/utility style) package. The first one has Sonic & some of the small animals that come out of the badniks, along with the somewhat unusual (and mis-colored mustache) skipping Eggman stock art, the 2nd has him going against an Orbinaut (or Sol) spike ball throwing badnik. (Note that it appears on top of both packages) These are interesting old shirts to see!
