This is a black hoodie sweat-shirt that is...very plain. The Sonic head on it is a classic stock art, and it's printed on (as in, not fuzzy or using embroidery/embellishments) just like a tee would be. It is so plain in fact, that in this age, it would be suspicious if it weren't proven to be official. It has a draw-string for the hood, and a double pocket in front to keep hands warm win the winter. It is available at FYE stores in August 2010, and will likely remain through the fall/winter season. The photo here is actually taken in-store. This is a bit pricey, for something so plain, at $29.99...however, if you don't already have something like it, it could be a nice, simple sweat shirt. It is sometimes on sale for 17.99. Sale Info by Eternal Phoenix9.
This is likely a winter 2010 release shirt, with another of the faux classic style. This time, the shirt is brown with a pale gray under-sleeve & collar. Getting Ready to Run Sonic stock art is used (and somewhat re-shaded for effect) and added to a starry gradient background. "Born to Run" borders the circle for the design. They've kept it simple and clean, so the shirt looks nice, especially if you don't already have something like it. Where was this released, and who made it?
Slogan style long sleeves continue with this red shirt. The undersleeves here are white, and they use classic running Sonic stock art. The stock art has been 'lifted' with a faux shadowing behind it to add depth, and it looks like Ethnocentric (the font face) was used to letter the phrase "Catch Me If You Can" in yellow. It's an appropriate theme, and again the shirt is simple and clean, yet brings in the old art for the zillionth time. Great if you don't already own something like it. Where was this released, and who made it?
This is a Sonic "Cozy Robe". It is a long night-gown style item which is attempting to be like the "Snuggie" which is a blanket with sleeves. Oddly enough, it comes in a box. The box is patterned with classic Sonic heads, and the robe itself features a simple standing classic Sonic stock art. The hole in the box lets you feel the cloth before you buy, so that you can be sure it is soft. The cloth itself is fleece-like. This retails at 19.99 in summer/fall 2010, and can be found at FYE stores. No brand name is present on the box, for whatever reason. (so basically it is a knock-off product to snuggie, but still Sonic licensed.)
This is the long sleeve variant on the 'need for speed' shirt, or at least one of them. With dark gray tee part and black under/long sleeves this combines modern (the font is named StillTime(to die) and was founded after 2000) and classic (the common running stock Sonic) The background is a black grid with some of the squares filled in. It looks like it may also have 'false wear' to the design. This appears in winter 2009, likely by TopHeavy Clothing and found at Sears in the USA.
Here's another classic style / emblem type shirt. This one uses classic Sonic peace sign stock art...but it's shaded and positioned to look 3D! This new effect gives the design a sense of depth. The circle is ringed with "Sonic" and stars. The border says "Smokin' the Competition Since 1991" all the way around. It opts for a clean look, without 'faux-wear', and is unique enough that it's collectible even if you already own other classic style shirts. Appears: Fall 2010.
