We know that this promotional t-shirt is meant to appropriate the pirate theme of the new Sonic Rush Adventure, but we think that the design is iconic enough to suit Sonic fans of all kinds, as well as Sonic haters.For Sonic fans, it's a way to advertise your enjoyment of Sega's mascot with a nice, simple logo that doesn't look too Mountain-Dew-extremey or cartoony.
But the people who want to make an ironic statement about their perception of the series as it is today may have it even better. While Sonic Rush Adventure adherents will interpret the shirt's image as a Sonic'd Jolly Roger, you can pretend it's a Sonic poison warning!
The shirt will be available from Segadirect in Japan on October 18th for a reasonable 1575 yen ($13.85). We don't know if they'll ship outside of Japan or not, unfortunately.

1. Or symbolises the death of Sonic. Which SEGA has already killed him and dragging his corpse through the mud. Sonic Rush Adventure is released tomorrow, can only wonder how crap that's going to be.
