Has Anyone Seen This Shirt?

I just got this off of eBay:



Aside from Raph and Leo having their colors switched (although due to the source of the image, only Raph looks funny), it's an awesome shirt. The seller described it as being "size XL for a boy." I took this to mean it was a boys' size shirt, where an XL would be slightly big for me, but still a decent fit. However, having received it, it is most definitely an adult size shirt and about five times too big. I would love to get it in a size small that I could actually wear, but I haven't a clue where to look for one.

I don't suppose anyone has seen this anywhere?

I've never seen that shirt. Pretty nice 'cept for the whole "Blue Raph" bit.

Can't say that I have seen it either but it is an awesome shirt. It can't be that old if it has the 2k3 tag on it.

Pretty awesome but yeah, the blue Raph ruins it. Must be a bootleg, right?

No, it's very legit. Just an unfortunate example of something slipping through the cracks.

well that could be why none of us saw it, it could have been pulled.
Unless it's something new.

Actually, that would make a lot of sense. I did buy it for all of $.99 (and the guy didn't even overcharge for shipping). I sent him a message... will have to see what he says.

I thought that it was just a new shirt, but the tag is dated 2006, so it doesn't seem likely (although not impossible, as there is sometimes a delay with these things).

such a shame though because it's an amazing idea I love when they use old mirage comics art on shirts.

So I finally see some new comic-related shirts and they can't even get the right color on the guy with the swords.

It's a cool shirt, but the miscoloring does put me off a bit.

Can't say I've seen it before, but I think it's a neat shirt.

Hmmm...would it be possible to work your scanner magic on this one? Scan the image in, photoshop the bandanas and then BAM! New t-shirt of a reasonable size.

Hmm... probably possible, although scanning fabric would be more difficult and the image might be too large for the scanner. It'd probably be easier to just scan one of the First graphic novels... in which case I could just scan any old image.

I do like those homemade t-shirts, though!

psst.. ninjaturtles.com is yelling at you for hotlinking (although the pic is in your cache, so you don't see).

But I know the page you're referring to and I agree that it would make for a very good t-shirt. Really, there are endless numbers of good t-shirts just waiting to be made within the comics.

Ugh! I hate it when that happens because it makes you look like a complete idiot, but you really have no way of knowing unless you clear your cache or someone tells you.

I should have just uploaded it to an image sharing web page to begin with. Anyway, even though you're able to tell what it is by page number, it's been fixed for the sake of completeness.

I'd love that shirt if it was colored correctly.
