Thanks largely to our friends Amanda Albert (graphic design) and David Ochart (character artwork), the Radio Free Nintendo official shirt is finally available. The two versions differ only in shirt brand/quality. Please read the in-store descriptions for more details.
All profits from shirt sales will support NWR! We'd love to hear your comments and see photos of awesome people doing awesome things while wearing this crazy shirt. And if you're not interested in this design, we might have more options in the future.

My body is not ready. It will be next week when I get paid, though.
So that's Jon and James up top, with Jonny and Greg on the bottom?

What's the difference between premium and regular and do they ship to the UK?

I'm not a big picture on the front guy myself. If you do another one could the big picture be on the back and an RFN logo go where the pocket be.
Cool there are color choices.
Be great to have a polo, I believe thats right, with the logo embroidered or something on it so you could wear it to work.

Shaymin, you are correct about the character order.
Miyamoto, the premium shirt is printed on a high quality American Apparel shirt. The standard is on a Gildan shirt made in Honduras. My prototype is the latter, and it seems fine -- typical kind of shirt you might get with a custom printing. The premium material is probably a bit softer, and I would guess the stitching might last longer. The shop will indeed ship to the UK and virtually anywhere else in the world (fees vary).
Ceric, this shop does have polo shirts available for printing, and I would like to add that kind of product when we have an appropriate design. Same for a back design -- it just didn't make sense this time.

i would be interested in a minimalist RFN (or NWR) shirt with just the logo on where the pocket would be like Ceric says (sans picture, just the logo). I would buy one just to use it as a de facto donate button but i wouldn't see myself wearing the current design around in public since im 100% certain no one would get it

If a minimalist polo were available, I'd be in too. T-shirts aren't something I get to wear often enough to be worthwhile these days.

Got mine ordered. Went for the premium one as I'm 14 bucks for shipping anyways. We should come out with a secret call out for when you see someone wearing an RFN shirt. Hey Jonny, can you see how many you've sold? I want to know if I'm first?

... We should come out with a secret call out for when you see someone wearing an RFN shirt. ...
I personally suggest using 'Ahoy, Ahoy'.

Love the character art, would never wear it. I'd go for a mug or fridge magnet, tho, if they became available. I might wear a shirt that looked like the one Lithium describes. I'd slay for a mug with just the logo as it appears on the weekly talkback threads.
Didn't know Greg was a ginger. I thought he had a soul ;)

The "ginger" on the shirt is my character; even though my hair is brown, David O. thought it was lighter than that of the other guys and chose to emphasize it. Greg is the one wearing a tie and wielding a TV remote (to watch NFL, of course).
I know people want more choices, and I'm going to try getting a simple RFN logo design soon. It should work on a variety of colors, and it would be more appropriate for nicer apparel like polo shirts. That said, I think everyone who saw the shirt at PAX really liked it!

I like it. I'll give 5 euro/pounds to the first person who says ahoy-hoy to me while wearing the shirt.

I really wanted a version where instead of Greg was we just get a question mark or "insert greg here".
Or Greg in a joker costume i mentioned in another thread.

Spreadshirt does offer sizes up to XXXL (3XL) but only on the Premium version. I guess it really depends on the manufacturer of the base shirt.

I'm holding Magic the Gathering cards. (Old joke on the show.) I think Jon is holding a cup... in the original artwork, there's a plate of poutine in front of him, but it was cut for space on the shirt design.

No offence but I want to punch the drawn versions of you in the face. Not too sure why.
But I'd buy a minimalist version if shipping isn't too expensive.

Gutted! I got stung £11 on import/export duties. £3 VAT and £8 post office handling charge. I'm disgusted (not with the shirt company or America obviously) with how the government here (UK) is clamping down on import charges. I've always imported stuff from the US but I've been hit the last 3 times. Think I'll have to stop now.
