    You just have to find people with them it's not easy though.

    They don't I was told some Sega employees wore these and they were given away in some fashion.

    Anyone know where I can find that Robotnik Image on the jacket's patch?

    I'm surprised no-one has mentioned that the good Doctor is called 'Proffessor Robotnik' on that jacket (including the incorrect spelling). It's the first time I've ever heard him referred to as such, and I'm also surprised that the wrong spelling wasn't noticed before they were put out, either.

    I wonder if it's because it's on a letterman's jacket? Those are for accomplishments at school and such... :o

    I more often than not see them referred to as varsity jackets, outside the US anyway.

    Whilst I don't own one of the letterman jackets (I have been after one for years now though, kudos on the find!), I do own the back patch for the jacket:

    I want that patch haha I want to put it on another jacket. Hit me up if you ever want to trade for that. I got lucky someone sold me the jacket for a good price got a lot of compliments wearing it at a music event the other day.
     
  9. Picked up these really cool perler bead pieces at a local game shop.

    Got my Dropdead X Sonic hoodie and bomber jacket and was filming an unboxing but they both have some pretty bad flaws (one patch on the jacket is coming away from the stitching and the sonic on the hoodie has a blue blob on his eye) and are gonna have to be returned, unfortunately they don't have my sized (or barely any now) in stock so I might have to wait a few weeks to get flawless ones back. A real shame as they are absolutely gorgeous, really comfy and well made otherwise.

    Bugger. I wanted the bomber jacket too, but forgot to order it last night and now my size (medium) is sold out. It says it'll be back in stock soon, but is that likely or is all this limited edition?

    I will say one thing: the presentation when the stuff arrived is brilliant. Came with a A4 card poster, postcard, two stickers and each clothes order came in a great sonic re-sealable bag and had little chaos emeralds. Even the tissue paper is custom and covered in classic sonic art.
     
  17. I am not sure where to post this, but I would believe this counts as merchandise. I was doing some summer cleaning and I found it in great condition the novelty check Sega gave me on the night of the tournament. I didn't think that I still had this or in its condition, but I currently do not have room for it. It is rather large, but I am either thinking of tossing it or putting it up for auction and giving a portion to Child's Play Charity.

    Not sure what to do, I thought about framing it and putting it in the game room/office, I already have the letter from Sega that arrived with the real check framed. So, I am not sure what to do.

    Sorry for the double post, but I have a question which I am hoping someone can shed some light on:

    Does Sega permit these clothing manufacturers to use their intellectual property? I see online there are different types of Sonic clothing and merchandise, some I assume to be official and others not, and I am wondering about IP law... Can anyone just use Sonic's likeness? What about official Sega images? Is there a difference between hand-made craft and larger scale production? Like, if I wanted to sell Sonic art on Etsy, or on my own website, or ebay, etc., what are the implications? I see all these site operating and selling this stuff, and I assume Sega has not given permission, or they aren't litigious, or somehow it is legal???

    I'd prefer a response from someone who can speak with relative certainty, not speculation.
