Zwackery Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Over in another post, I mentioned the Rampage and Joust shirts at Wal-Mart, and this Atari one was between the two stacks. I suspect a Ready Player One tie-in. ($7.50 for the shirt, sizes S-3XL) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Is that based on the Atari 5200 splash screen? I like the look, almost to the point that I wish I didn't have such a hate-on for modern "Atari." At that price, they're probably a nasty polyester blend, right? ("those grapes are probably sour anyway") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwackery Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 I was thinking more 2600 Centipede myself, but now that you mention the 5200, I can see that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfoMan Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) I seem to remember seeing the rainbow Fuji in a lot of different applications. I've actually been using it on my Twitter account for many years. https://twitter.com/atari_guy And on my website, for that matter: http://atari.holyoak.com/ Edited March 12, 2018 by InfoMan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfoMan Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I just realized some of you may not be ultra familiar with the rainbow Fuji because it was used mostly with the XL home computer line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloth-machine Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) I checked my local Wal-Mart. Just got in a fresh stack. I bought a couple. One for me and one for a gift. Very cool tee (and it's the softer ringspun cotton). Gotta say, it's pretty awesome to still be able to buy Atari products in a brick and mortar 40 years later and counting.

Zwackery Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Atari shirts I have picked up over the years... Atarian - this is for the Atarian Club, so I think this shirt is from 1989. It's an original I got with the membership kit. Atari Interactive - these are both from 2000 Atari logo - picked this one up around Xmas one year, maybe back in 2000 as well Atari Represent. - forgot where I got this one, but it's Atari Interactive (so after 2003...maybe late 2000s?) Atari Flashback - if you pre-ordered a Flashback 2+, you got this shirt, so 2010 Atari Entertainment Technologies - I got the grey one first, in 2011, followed by the black one, and then a couple of years ago I picked up the blue one (unlicensed) at Five Below Atari - Japanese katakana, from GameStop Xmas 2016 Atari - American flag fuji, this was a $1.99 promo t-shirt at GameStop on Black Friday 2016 Atari circle logo - another Black Friday release, this time at Target for 2017, and you can still get them currently; this logo was introduced several years ago by one of the modern incarnations of the company 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark68 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Cool stuff shown here. I was an Atari kid, I wish I had a picture of it handy, but my mom ordered me a silver Atari jacket back around 1982 or so. I wore that thing all the time but then it was stolen from me in 1st grade or so from the jacket rack in my classroom. I had a Missile Command and Centipede shirt too back around the same time period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
