Does the world need another t-shirt company? Why not?
Especially if it’s one that reinterprets favorite video games into new designs.
G8 Brand, a new Costa Mesa company founded by Tony Crisp, just launched its web site with limited-edition designs. The site is so new, not everything is fully functional (check out the “legal junk.”)
According to the press release, the “The G8 Brand mantra, “Crash the System,” is indicative of the gaming generation wanting to do away with stereotypes about gamers being geeks and opens the way for people to see that gamers are found in all walks of life.

Current lineup has 13 mostly retro-game designs, including Pong and Tetris. What I’m really looking forward to is G8′s promise that the next line of T’s will be designed by the “world’s most well known artists in the gaming industry.”
The t-shirts are available online at the G8 web site. Or see the t’s yourself tomorrow by heading to Ontario for LANFest 2007 or in a few weeks at the E for All Expo, the big video-game festival in Los Angeles (Oct. 18 to 21).
