J!NX launches WoW summer collection
It looks like those creative folks over at J!NX have come up with another batch of World of Warcraft-themed clothing for their summer 2009 collection, and I've got to say that they look pretty darned good. While the first batch of WoW class shirts were nice, I wasn't entirely sold on them. They were good, but personally not good enough for me to run over to Hot Topic and pick one up on impulse. I mean, I wanted to order, but pennypinching prudence got the better of me. The summer collection has a latecomer Death Knight class shirt in the style of the first batch, completing the set, as well as two new class shirts that trample all over my aforementioned prudence.
My wallet is spared for a little while, thankfully, as the first designs are for Hunters and Warriors. As soon as they release the Paladin and Warlock versions, however, my cursor will be on that checkout button faster than you can say "Arenas suck," as the new designs are graphic design home runs. Speaking of home runs, the summer 2009 collection also has a pair of new baseball team shirts -- the Ironforge Anvils and the Thunder Bluff Warstompers -- to go along with the Darnassus Nightsabers, Gnomeregan Bombardiers, Undercity Gravediggers and Durotar's own Hellscream Warchiefs. Likewise, when Silvermoon City's expansion team shirt becomes available, I'll have a few more clothes to fatten my closet. Check out the collection at J!NX and maybe you'll find something to wear at BlizzCon other than that Sea Cows t-shirt you were hoping would score you some points with the ladies.

Were Luigi and a cross dressing bloke really the best models they could get?

Luigi clearly represents Wintergrasp.
WG = weegee = Luigi
And the bloke represents 90% of all chicks who play WoW.
The other 10% are Megan from outofmana, Ferraro, and all of las chicas on the WoW Insider team. And anyone else who plays WoW and reads this.

Funny thing: that dude was the best man in my wedding. :D
No, really.

I hope the Druid one is bad enough that I don't want to get it, I'm already having enough trouble saving for Blizzcon :)

Ironic facial hair is so last year.

Does anyone know if those t-shirts are tagless?
Pyornthe May 30th 2009 1:49PM
I don't know about these ones, but my Shaman shirt is.

I'm just hoping the Mage shirt doesn't look like the level 80 Male Gnome Mage avatar.

Dalaran University?
So I guess the cease and desists only work one way.

Jinx is an authorized distributor for Blizzard Entertainment. No C&D when you're on the payroll.

"Dalaran University" is an addon, not a Blizzard product.
I just felt it ironic since Blizzard are becoming so argessive with their trademarks, yet will happily spin a profit off a term they dont own.

They need to restock the murloc pushie.

Nothing says cool like a trucker 'stache and a tiger.

I always love the jinx clothing; the designs are great, and the shirts are so lovely and soft.
Cadychan May 30th 2009 12:18PM
I want the Thunder Bluff shirt sooooo badly! :x *looks at empty wallet* *cries*
Azkadellia May 30th 2009 1:04PM
another "summer collection" that is 95% dark blue and black shirts only. *sigh*

Why would you go and put a cerain tier of gear on a shirt? In the next patch that's going to be the gear you're not going to want to be wearing...in game and irl.
