LeoNerdo · 10-03-2011, 04:31 PM

Man, I really like that. I'm gonna get one!

*Jephael* · 10-03-2011, 04:48 PM

Sword Slicin' Leo · 10-03-2011, 04:52 PM

it's decent...if you would'f had something on back i would really dig it..

*Powder* · 10-03-2011, 05:31 PM

Oh.

My.

God.

I'm buying the SH*T outta that shirt. Mirage/Playmates esque art parodying the worlds most dangerous group, NWA?!

I'M THERE.

*Eiko* · 10-03-2011, 06:02 PM

That is one cool shirt.

*ToTheNines* · 10-03-2011, 06:41 PM

I'd go for it if the headbands were red.

IMO, once again hot topic manages to screw up a perfectly good shirt by slapping some stupid "edgy" slogan on it.

"Ninja$ with Attitude"?

At least it isn't powder blue.

Not exactly, it's a parody of this.

*Donnie* · 10-03-2011, 07:55 PM

Best shirt Hot Topic ever created - original E & L Turtles w/ colored bandanas, or as Powder pointed out, just like the original Playmates packaging.

It's mine - even with that lame slogan.

Does anybody know if it's in store yet? I'd rather buy it in-store than get nailed with shipping.

Spoiler:

I think its the dollar sign S that offended me. And isnt the "TMNT" parodying the "NWA" already?

Yeah, same here.

Archon_Turtle · 10-03-2011, 08:02 PM

If I was going to parody the cover, I think I would have actually done it. Got rid of the dumb yellow slogan, added the parental advisory label, and probably put "Straight Outta New York" on the bottom.

hop to it, photoshoppers!

I get that. But in adding an element completely new to the composition (in this case, the yellow banner), it creates a significant difference between the two images and makes it more difficult for people to pick up on the visual parody.

[Rant] Plus the banner is ugly and the $ is stupid. [/Rant]

I see you're point. I wasn't exactly thrilled with it at first glance myself.

*Spitfire* · 10-03-2011, 08:46 PM

"Straight outta Northampton" would have been funnier and more relevant. Also no idea why their belts are colored as well.

*Kendamu* · 10-03-2011, 08:50 PM

I don't mind the NWA thing at the top. I might get this shirt.
