Crashpunk has quite the reputation to uphold within the furry community, they cant find out he plays games other than Sonic.
Anyway, as I said, the New Yolk tee will probably warrant some weird question and will just come off as a really bad joke (with two plays on words in the one joke - is that even allowed?).
Then tell the old cunt to stick his wrinkled cock in a pencil sharpener while you go and pick up some serious nerd-tail with your incredibly relevant and awesome video game tee. You've earned it.

Please keep this on topic, people. We're not discussing our respective senses of fashion or what gaming t-shirts we already have. We're discussing these two new shirts from OWI. If you don't have anything related to them to contribute, don't post.

Spending as long as I do here, it's easy to forget that Oddworld has actual fans.
Insert Coin have a new website and a lot of their T-shirts are on sale, including Oddworld. Where they were once £25.00, they're now £17.50. Anyone more tempted?
I think Crashpunk has a point. That t-shirt doesn't say "Oddworld" to me. It relates to Oddworld 'cause of what the text says, but that's as far as that goes.
Abe, Scrabs, Paramites...Rupture Farms logos? you get the picture.
I think the Abe games is the next thing you need to focus on for shirts. The insert coin shirts are okay but nobody but big Oddworld fans like us would get the references to SW. Abe and AO/AE are much more iconic and would be more suited for merch like shirts.
The plan was to tie in the theme of the shirts to the games that were coming out about the same time. I think it would be prudent to withold that plan in favour of what everyone's asking for. Of course, anything we do with Insert Coin will use their established design philosophy, but I have been looking at other tee supplies with little success.
Insert Coin have no exclusivity, and while we've established communication with other companies with different styles, there's nothing in the pipeline with them.
Insert Coin are primarily responsible for the designs. They did a few and we selected our favourites before starting a back a forth on refining the design. The Clakker on the New Yolk City tee needed quite a bit of attention to get him looking right.
We've got tentative plans to involve more community feedback in our next work with Insert Coin, but nothing concrete.
For me, a lot of what defines Oddworld as a style is detail – creature designs with intricate muscular and skeletal structures, massive environment art brimming with nooks and crannies, etc.
To me, a flat vector-styled shirt isn’t quite Oddworld. It’s not bad, and I’ll probably buy one, but something different would work wonders.
