When I had my "NPC" shirt, I would wear it in public. I never did find that shirt after I moved out; sad, because I loved that shirt. As far as pop culture goes, the only shirt I have like that is my "Do you have stairs in your house?" shirt.

I love that shirt.

I am protected.
 

I wear pretty much nothing else but geek t-shirts. Gaming logos and refs (including D&D) Superhero images, Star Wars and Star Trek logos... I own one white button down, two polos, and two ring tees that are un-logo'd. Oh, and lots of Coca-Cola stuff, because you should be proud of your spiritual beliefs. :)
 

I have a couple of gaming shirts that I still mix in with the other T-shirts (though most are White Wolf rags).

I received a "Collect Call of Cthulhu" t-shirt from a friend a while back. Every time I wore it, my wife needled me about it. It wasn't just borderline geeky, it was an ugly t-shirt according to her. It was a little garish. I came home one day and found it had been used to clean baby poop when my son had an accident. My wife swore it was a total accident, she thought it was a rag. I just cant bring myself to wear it now..,
Last year I picked up a t-shirt off eBay; it was released along with the Black Library Liber Chaotica: Nurgle art book. It's an unhealthy dark green with the book's logo on the front and the word Unclean on the back. I'm probably going to have to wait until my niece and nephew are significantly older before I wear it while visiting.

Probably not.
I have several gaming related t-shirts, and I wear them whenever I feel like it.

However, it's a sad but true fact that much of the public still views gamers on a whole as nerds and losers, and I don't want people to automatically assume such of me (particularly if I'm in an environment where I could meet girls I'd consider asking out, like school or a party).

Have some pride, man! Wear your gaming shirt with pride. I do, and by no stretch of the imagination could I be considered a loser. I'm not trying to be arrogant by saying this, but I'm a well adjusted, successful professional woman, and my players are all well adjusted, successful professionals too. If we game, then gaming is cool.

If all the successful, normal people who game wore their gaming shirts with pride, then the stereotype of the loser gamer would fade pretty darn quick.
 

I don't wear many logo shirts anymore.
As a matter of fact, I have a garbage bag in my basement full of old punk, industrial, and goth show t-shirts that i haven't worn in quite some time. I have a nice, bright red Vampire the Requiem shirt, and would love to wear a WTF? shirt. But when I'm at work, I don't wear logo shirts. At home, maybe.

The biggest advantage of gamer shirts for the likes of my sweet baboo and our friend Half-mad, is that gamer shirts tend to come in ... ahem... gamer sizes.
 


I wear my D&D shirts all the time. I never censor when I wear them.
I have a 3E, a Dragon, a Dungeon and the 30th Anniv.
My favorite to wear though is my EN World shirt. I wear it the most.

Don't get me wrong. I'm a well adjusted, professional man (I lost my amature status when I won a manliness tournament), I just decided that at this stage of my life, attracting members of the opposite sex ranks higher on my priority list than showing gamer pride. :)
