This nice green tee comes from the Segaworld of London. (You can see the Segaworld logo on the tag, if you look closely) Colored shirts (other than black/white/blue) were not that common for Sonic the hedgehog merchandise. This is a rather cleverly designed classic piece, with a detailed huge running Sonic right on the edge. (he does not wrap to the back) It looks nearly airbrushed, so it isn't a standard stock-art. The likeness is good though, with nothing really off model. The size of the design and positioning make this shirt stylish and edgy for it's time. Great for collectors!
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. It was available at Burtons stores for 10.99 pound.

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 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.
