Classico sounds a bit like a jar of tomato sauce, but I suppose the man on the shirt is Italian, so it’s not completely ridiculous. I was never very big on Popeye, the super power up of spinach never captured me (the way a similar power up did on the Gummi Bears).. maybe it had to do with it being spinach. Also, let’s be fair, his girlfriend was not attractive and pretty annoying. Bluto can have her, as far as I’m concerned. Mario, of course, as I’ve well documented, is my guy. Well, he and his brother. I’m not sure if there’s a connection between being a sailor and being a plumber, and, similar to spinach, I was never a huge fan of mushrooms growing up, but I would rock this shirt for sure.

Mario, you’ve come so far! To see Nintendo‘s most faithful characters of Mario, Princess Peach, and Yoshi “reconstituted” into some strange kind of medieval realistic image is strange, even for a Threadless shirt. But strange and creepy or not, it’s an awesome shirt. (Available at Threadless)
Poor Mario. I’m not sure what’s keeping him down so far, but he’s definitely got the 8-bit blues on this shirt. Playing his Nintendo cartridge (yes, you can actually buy Nintendo cartridge harmonicas, btw) like a sad sack, I bet a mushroom or nice star would make him happy again. Maybe it’s that his girlfriend keeps getting kidnapped? I mean seriously, Princess, do you even lock the door of your home? Maybe you should get a restraining order against Bowser? Sorry, the girl kind of annoys me. But Mario clearly loves her, so I can see how his heart is tormented so. Play it on, Mario, sing those 8-bit blues. (Available at Threadless)
