    Hooded Sonic backpack
    Hooded backpacks are a strange idea. This one that appears at Truffleshuffle.com is no exception. Are they super dorky? Is the dorky-ness somehow ironic in the internet age? Whatever the fashion, this mostly blue & black bag has a texture/shapes background in 'grunge' style with winking Sonic face. Classic 'frowning'…

Another page out of the Sonic loyal Sega Visions magazine appears. This is a page that showcases various merchandise you could buy (where?) at the time. This is the Dec/Jan issue of 1991 (so Sonic 1 only) Standing Sonic on a black wallet was probably the first ever Sonic wallet. He's standing around again as embroiderey on the black cap & white water bottle. There are also mobiles with Sonic 1 & a Game Gear as danglers. The diamond shape says Sonic is the fastest game around. What's the other mobile & other shirt? Toe-Jam & Earl. You can also see a Sonic 1 title screen banner digital watch (12.99) next to a metal enamel lapel pin. (watch is that super cheap-o type with tiny number window & plain design. The "huge poster" is that first Sonic art for the US. The shorts seem to be Sega branded only, & the hand print tee advertises Game Gear. (I guess if you...really just....liked the system? You could buy it. Seems an odd choice) As you can see, the first few Sonic things in the USA were a tad plain.
