We
originally sold these last year but we've recaptured the
original text from our update below. We found one last
tee but a small part of the side of the plastic bag is
ripped. The shirt is new however.
Begin original posting.
Vib-Ribbon caused a bit of excitement when it was released back on
December 9, 1999 in Japan. Apparently, Sony also
released a Vib-Ribbon t-shirt to go along with the game
as a bit of promotional fodder to incite fans into
buying their vector masterpiece. NCS never received
these shirts when the game was originally released and
we would have never known about them had it not been for
an offer of old stock from overseas.
NCS was contacted by a vendor a few weeks ago. The IM
exchange went something like this:
Vendor: You're into weird stuff, yes?
NCS: How much is it going to set us back?
Vendor: For you, special price.
NCS: What is it?
Vendor: Old t-shirts we found in our warehouse.
NCS: Are they worn? Used? Torn?
Vendor: Ah, no. New. But looks like child's
sketches on black cotton.
NCS: What is it, kind sir?
Vendor: Says Vib-Ribbon on it. You want them or
not? Time is money.
At first, we figured they were shirts we could
actually wear and even if the design was bad, they'd be
useful as dish rags. When the shirts arrived a little
over a week ago, we opened one up only to discover that
they were way too small to wear. A petite size for
petite people...which excludes anyone who fits a Medium
or Large. The shirt would fit a young kid comfortably or
someone with a Medium build uncomfortably - we're
talking bulging at the seams here.
The shirts were too nice to use as dish rags or pot
scrubbers so here they are. They're collectible, sort
of, and we've never seen them offered anywhere else. We
wouldn't recommend putting the shirt on if you're a
Medium or Large since you'll stretch it beyond
recognition but it'll look okay in your collection of
weird and rare(?) video game merchandise.
There is no tag on the t-shirt but it feels like
cotton and the collar is a V-neck.
