Marc Ecko Creates the World's Ugliest Halo T-Shirts

Marc Ecko has released a line of Halo t-shirts that are a perfect wardrobe upgrade for people whose dress-up clothes include anything with the words "Austin 3:16 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Cold_Steve_Austin#Austin_3:16_and_rise_to_superstardom_.281996.E2.80.931997.29]" on them.

I'm not ashamed to admit it: I'm a man of many t-shirts. Most of them feature the words "World Tour 19xx" somewhere but I have many others relating to different matters of similar cultural import. I'm particularly proud of my gaming-related t-shirts, including the Halo [http://half-life2.com/] shirts from Marc Ecko.

Look at these things [http://www.shopecko.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=3315013&cp=2441351.3165999]. These are six of the most horridly tasteless, vulgar t-shirts ever conceived by a human brain. They look like something put together by a sugared-up 12-year-old joining his first "Design Your Own T-Shirt" contest. And here's the best part: The opportunity to wear one of these monstrosities will cost you as much as 38 bucks.

One things's for sure: You leave the house sporting one of these babies and nobody who sees you will have any doubt that you're a big Halo fan. They'll also wonder who decided to let you dress yourself before going out in public.

It may look bad to you, but if you see half of the things teens wear these days, and it would look perfectly acceptable.

 

[GodsOneMistake]

WTF I Could make a better shirt than that, a fucking sugared up 12 year old could make a better shirt than that.

 

[sunami88]

What the fuck? He got paid to design these? He thinks people will pay to buy them?

 

[coldfrog]

OK... is it an extra long T-shirt with "Free Head Shots" right about the proper height for... um... yeah. I'm afraid.

 

[Amnestic]

The fifth one is probably the best out of those in my opinion.

But being the best piece of poop amongst five other pieces of poop isn't really anything to be proud of.

 

[GodsOneMistake]

What the fuck? He got paid to design these? He thinks people will pay to buy them?

Did you really ask that? Of course people will buy them, regardless of how god awful they look.

 

[Eldritch Warlord]

The one with the Rhino isn't so bad.

That is the highest possible praise I can give.

 

[DigitalJedl]

What the fuck? He got paid to design these? He thinks people will pay to buy them?

It's Halo. You'd be surprised who would buy this.

 

[AmrasCalmacil]

Oh, my eyes.

I wouldn't say the second T-Shirt is that bad but, the rest of them are horrible. They look like they're from some sort of terrible powerpoint presentation done by a bored 12 year old in an IT class.

If you think they're bad, -don't- look at his Stormtrooper Hoodie!

What the fuck? He got paid to design these? He thinks people will pay to buy them?

No he thinks Halo fans will buy them and considering most are under the age of 18, he right.

 

[Sigel]

Yuck-I would not get one even if they were free and came with a puppy.

 

[Brotherofwill]

Ouch...

I'm sure they'll get quite a few sales though. The more aggressive, the better was probably the design inspiration.

 

[Mr.Top Hat]

I think im going to be sick.

 

[mightyfoo69]

dam that is horrible... prob would sell a lot though

 

[llewgriff]

I like it.... I'd wear it...

 

[The Great JT]

This guy should get a fucking medal for this level of dumbassery.

 

[TheIr0nMike]

The entire line is complete shit. I've seen better shirts in a mandatory digital arts class.

 

[bue519]

What the fuck? He got paid to design these? He thinks people will pay to buy them?

It's Halo. You'd be surprised who would buy this.

Your right considering their releasing a full priced game about the series that has only 6 hr of single player and recycled multiplayer (atleast the DLC maps are free, I guess). But, somehow people are excited over this?

Spoiler: easily the least imaginative shirt concieved by this person

I mean c'mon that one shirt says to me "I was designed, no, I was merely layed down while a man with a "MASTER CHIEF GENERIC POSE" rubber sticker went to town on me, he didn't seem to care that he'd put two master chief's upside-down on my shoulders, clearly the man is seeing some kind of genius that the rest of us can't..."

Yes, that's exactly what that shirt SAYS to me...

Why is this guy making shirts?
and I guess more importantly... Why Halo shirts?!
Surely bungie can handle making their own, MORE TASTEFUL shirts? I mean they managed it before...

[disclaimer]: Sorry for making that sound like a rant, I just don't get how people who design that shit can have a job doing it when I can make shirts better than those by sitting them in a muddy puddle and yet, here I am with no job or money...
