Classic Brittish Sonic the Hedgehog Clothing Page 3

As more classics are discovered, the history of Sonic shirts in the UK spreads to Page 3. Pre-Sonic adventure there was still plenty to choose from, though none of it is that easy to get, especially today. A theme you'll also find on this page will be 'promotional shirts' which were used as give-aways for if you pre-ordered Sonic games, or to celebrate the launch of games. (Sometimes, shirts would become generally available in stores despite being just a logo for the latest game instead of an actual design)

This shirt has a positively giant logo for Sonic 2. The large colorful art and well styled Sonic leaning out of the classic star circle make this a real classic. It's not that common to see shirts with such huge solid designs these days, which also helps it stand out. Naturally, this came out right around Sonic 2 on the Megadrive.

What do you do when 3 Sonic games are to be released all in one day? Why, release a shirt, too! This one says "A Hedgehog for all formats", which was indeed true on that day. The games announced are: Sonic CD, Sonic Chaos and Sonic Spinball, all set for Nov. 23rd. The graphic of Sonic is nice too, as it's pretty 3D looking and not the same old image that's been used a zillion times. Photo Credit: Orange Unicorn 1984.

A second shirt for Sonic 2's release. It was also available in the USA. This is another nice one, this time with well-shaded Sonic &Tails standing around in front of the large checkered "2" which tried to become iconic back in the day. This shirt is also seldom-seen, but looks to be a good addition to anyone's collection with it's solid and un-repetitive yet classic design.

This is a rather cute or clever shirt. A plain gray shirt has a fake pocket drawn on, and Knuckles is popping out of it! This appeared around the time of Sonic 3 when Knuckles was still really a rival character, so it makes sense to have him 'under cover' in the pocket. He's watching over running stock Sonic and the phrase "Just can't be caught!" which is rather appropriate. With it's rather charming design, this is a good old shirt to collect...if you can find it.

This is a very strange tie! Is it official? Is it really from England? All these are a mystery. As you can see the art style is very 'scratchy' and strange. Sonic is climbing a dirt cliff out in space above an island of palm trees in the clouds. There's also another island slapped on above him, and he's 'lit' by strange yellow light. Saturn or a ringed planet appears in the starry sky. With it's odd style and bizzarre composition it comes across as rather tacky...but it is still interesting to see.
