It was announced earlier this week that Marc Ecko’s line of clothing has managed to snag a DC Comics license. Here’s part of what they had to say about the deal:

“Both the Marc Ecko and the DC Comics brands resonate with an expansive and loyal fan base made up in large part by today’s youth culture,” said Karen McTier, Executive Vice President, Domestic Licensing and Worldwide Marketing, Warner Bros. Consumer Products. “Through this exclusive partnership, we are able to present trendsetting fashions to these fans at a level only Marc Ecko can attain.”

Translation: “These t-shirts will run you upwards of $40 a pop.”

On one hand, these will probably look pretty amazing. Ecko’s Marvel line of clothing from 4-5 years back was easily a high point in geek fashion, and I own a few of them to this day. Outside of Graffitti Designs, I’m not sure there’s ever been a clothing company who made super hero themed stuff that actually understood and respected the medium’s history more than Ecko, so I look forward to the potential of a nice, heavy duty shirt with a Bill Sienkiewicz’s Batman page unfolding across the front of it to match the Sienkiwicz Daredevil shirt I already have in my closet.

But man, those prices…

Sure, it’s been going on since last week, but there’s still a ton of pretty sweet shirts on sale for $5-10 bucks, including a number of pop culturey themed designs. It’s weird – I’m subscribed to the Threadless newsletter and I read every email they send out, yet whenever I visit the site I find shirts like this one that I’ve never seen before.

Boy, howdie, if I needed another t-shirt right now, this’d be the one I’d get. Got a sweet “Goon” sensibility to it.

You know something I figure is ripe for revival? Those late 70s-early 80s car/trucker action flicks. You know what I’m talking about: Cannonball Run, White Line Fever, Convoy.

Although…you’d think the Dukes of Hazzard movie or Ricky Bobby would’ve jump started any sort of interest in goofy old school Southern car culture. Plus, I’m not sure how much love people have for cars and driving these days.

Anyway, that doesn’t stop this shirt from proving once and for all that Burt rocked one of the 20th century’s greatest moustaches.

Not sure if white dudes can really rock this…but hey, here’s a brilliantly brutal tshirt celebrating the greatest TV show of all time. Don’t think your little emo mall punk brother will be carrying this out of Hot Topic anytime soon.
