Diablo III Rainbow Unicorn T-shirt

Posted 19th Feb 2009 08:53 PM by Flux

Remember the color controversy? Its most enduring legacy, besides possibly spawning the concept of the D3 secret non-cow level, may turn out to be the "rainbows and unicorns" t-shirts the D3 Team wore at Blizzcon 2008. Those shirts were made custom for Blizzard, and have never (and will never) be offered for sale to the public.

You still want one though, and here's the next best thing. The enterprising entrepreneurs at Nerdy Shirts have taken the source image, recolored it to remove the pastels (which sort of defeats the point?), and they're selling the result on a t-shirt for $14.50. If you want one you might want to order quickly; there's no telling how Blizzard's lawyers will react to this one. The image on the shirt is shown below; click it to go to the order page.

Update from the comments: They've added a coupon code just for Diii.net readers. Enter "D3Nerd" with your order for 20% off (a $3 savings). Offer expires Monday the 23rd.

If it were the colours that Blizzard originally created it in then I would be buying two. One to wear and one to keep forever and ever smile

Yeah. Definitely lost some of its charm. I can’t see why Blizzard would care - after all, it’s been nearly a year. If they wanted to put it on T-Shirts for fans, they should have done it already. But, being a massive corporation, just because they *shouldn’t* care doesn’t mean they won’t.

Can I get one that’s just black/red/gray, with “Necromancer’s choice” scrawled across it? Seriously…

One of the foundations of commerce is the exchange of money for convenience/time. Sure, you can change your own oil and save some money, but it requires tools, physical dexterity, jacking up your car, crawling around on the filthy ground, collecting and recycling the oil, time spent on that instead of something else, etc. By the same token, people who work and have an income may choose to purchase pre-made goods, rather than spending the time and effort to make things themselves, even though that might, in theory, be cheaper.

Coincidentally, the debate for/against RMT in MMORPGs is conducted in these same terms.
