8 modern Sonic tees Tags:

 Blue many modern characters Sonic tee

Here are 2 Burlington Coat Factory (Or just "Burlington") Sonic tees with a 'multi character' theme. They are in adults sizes, so should fit anyone and appear in later 2018 for 6.99 or 7.99 each. Great price!

Priced right, fits anyone AND has lots of people's favorite characters?
You can't go wrong at Burlington with these new tees! The left tee is gray with a black spatter paint all over. It has 8 modern characters in overlap-rectangle portraits. It includes Sonic, Eggman, Tails, Amy, Shadow, Metal Sonic, Knuckles & even Big the Cat. They're all labeled with their name in white under the art.
The right side tee is blue with a black spatter all over. It has 12 characters, but this time they are full body art, applied over 3 strips of black/white checkers. It has Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Big, Amy, Shadow, Metal Sonic, E-102 Gamma!, Eggman, Silver, Vector & Espio.
E-102 Gamma is VERY RARELY on ANYthing, making this a pretty special shirt to own. Why'd they pick him over Charmy (who would have completed the Chaotix) or Blaze, who usually appears? Who knows, but it's an interesting choice.
The mystery:
What company is making these shirts? The paper tags are Burlington-only. The printed collar tag just has the material/Sega copyright. It's clearly the same one doing everything Burlington has in 2018, and they're doing a good job on both thoughtful design and price. These are in the SonicGear personal collection.

 Sonic generations tagged Blue shirt

This shirt is fairly standard...but it has a "Sonic Generations" tag. You can see it there in black, in the collar back. However, the shirt itself isn't particularly 'Generations' themed in any way. It has 3 rectangle fades of color, each with 2 characters. Sonic & Tails, Shadow & Eggman and Knuckles & Amy. Each character has a black 'name card' above or below it. Only Eggman is cut off (design wise) he's missing his feet.
The Sort of odd/bland/matching colors for the backgrounds & cut off Eggman make the design seem a little sub-par. (Reduce him in size so he fits and doesn't stick out like a sore thumb design-wise!) The shirt is a nice bright blue...but why it was produced 'for' Generations is unknown. This is thought to be an Amazon item in 2018, if you can find it in kids/teens clothes.

 

 Sonic graffiti drip shirt

 Sonic graffiti drip blue shirt

More fun from Burlington in 2018! Here are 2 "Graffiti Type" tees you can find in the men's shirts area if you comb through the racks. They're by the same company as the first 2 tees.

These tees bring cool Graffiti style to Sonic art! Someone's actually paying good attention to design here, and coming up with colorful new ideas. That's always great to see, especially with the return of Modern Sonic in 2018. The first tee is white with an all-over blue spatter paint effect. It has a large forward-facing Sonic head, with big black 'paint drip' effect coming from the bottom. Instead of his usual blue though, he's filled in with line art, colored art and character names as well as other characters, all in a big collage. The eyes, lower face & ears are all filled normally, to give it continuity.
The second tee is medium blue with light blue all-over spatter as well. It has 'peace sign' standing Sonic, with big 'paint drips' in black coming off the spikes and one hand. This one is filled in with a character collage as well. You can spot Eggman, Knuckles, gold rings, other Sonic art and Tails in here as well. Each of these should only be about 7.99, which is a great deal for adult tees! Grab these while you can in fall 2018!

 

 Burlington checker tee

Get ready for a Burlington Bargain!
Grab this shirt for just SIX dollars! And it's MENS so it'll fit anyone. There's no excuse to buy this whether its 6 (normal) or on sale for just 5 bucks. You can't really beat this Burlington bargain for an adult size Sonic tee. This appears in fall/winter 2018, so it could be a gift as well. It's pretty simple, a white tee with black/white 'finish line' type checkering & running modern Sonic in the checker area.
There have been similar items, but for 5 dollars you really can't beat it. It's worth shifting along the racks to pick this one out. This shirt is in the SonicGear collection.

 Burlington Sonic Tails & Knuckles Tee

Another Burlington Coat Factory tee, found among the very many men's shirts on their plentiful racks.
This one seems to be the last of the 'spatter company' fall 2018 designs. It's an all white tee with all-over black paint spatter effect. The design features Sonic, Tails & Knuckles all with very new modern stock art. Each of these is a fresh for 2018 pose with Sonic arms-out running, Tails flying with hands in new positions & Knuckles running forward in profile while hitting his fists together in front of him. There's a black/white checkered square behind them, and "Sonic the Hedgehog" in square/blocky font fairly large over that. The spatter effect & colorful characters with dynamic poses make this shirt seem colorful & fresh.
Notice the inset at the bottom right...that's all the documentation the tee has: Burlington's price tag & the Sega copyrights/materials in the collar back stamp. This shirt should be about 7.99 or 8.99

 White design japanese name Sonic tee

Here's a cool tee with an all-white design.
The shirt itself is kind of a muddy greenish brown (why?) but the white & line-art design is cool. It has Eggman & Shadow at the top, both in a lesser-used pose. Eggman has a fist up, and Shadow is pointing to one side with a thumb. There's the Japanese version Sonic logo in the middle (It spells out Sonic The Hedgehog under it in the letters) Below are Knuckles (fist out) Sonic (thumb pointing) Tails (backward pointing) and Amy (shoulder looking)
With the characters in solid white & the line work as a cut-thru to the shirt color, the design has more impact. Two simple geometric 'corners' make up the background. It's a nicely different shirt, but where is it sold? How much does it cost & what company made it? This is a 2018 item...but not a whole lot else is known, so do write in if you have details.
