Presenting the EVO 2010 T-Shirt Designs, by Meat Bun!

July 1st, 2010 by inkblot
This year we’ve gotten the incredibly awesome guys at Meat Bun to produce not one, but two Evo shirts! It’s particularly appropriate this year that we host Evo at Caesar’s Palace. When you think of Caesar’s you think of the grandeur of intense competition, the gladiator’s spirit, and of course half-naked dudes. All of these are all totally EVO, except for the naked part.

So in honor of gladiatorial Rome and all it represents, I present our first T-Shirts design. These shirts will be on sale all weekend at EVO, but going to EVO is the [I]only [/I]way to get one. Every EVO competitor will also receive a free T-Shirt, which is plenty cool, but not quite as cool as this one. Hail Caesar!
