Melvint

It appears Stephan Bonnar has moved on from his "Trash Talkin' Kids" t-shirt line, with a new endeavor called "Punch Buddies". First up, is this sure-to-be-controversial Melvin Guillard "Young Assassin" number. Shocking? Funny? Corny? What say you? Larger version here. More info on Bonnar's new business venture, and a pre-order for said design available here.

Why not add Pol Pot and Gengis Kahn too?

Hell you could even add satan and Darth Varder too, it would make as much sense…

Don't have a whole lot to say about the goofy subject matter...

…but whoever does the art for these (and presumably the ‘Trash Talkin’ Kids’ designs), is pretty damn good.

he also runs

ngaugeinc, which produces a ton of excellent MMA paintings

Yeah, I linked to their site. Wasn’t sure if this illustrator was the same guy that does the paintings though.

by woooburn on Aug 4, 2011 1:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

Farily certain he's a partner in the company

I don’t think he runs it, but he’s the spokesman as far as MMA stuff goes.

I’m ashamed of myself for knowing this, but it’s actually spelled SISQO

EGAD!

Now I’m going get to sued by SISCO for slandering them.

Stephen Bonnar is struggling for business ideas,lol. I remember when he started the UFC painting prints, (litographs? not sure if thats what its called) I dont think that was successful either

These guys need to realize that when it comes to mma shirts, less is more. I like “tapout” shirts becuase its just a shirt with a word on it. I dont care for all the skulls, angels, shiny foil, and now these stephen bonnar shirts.

Agreed

Loved all the recent Fedor/Henderson Clinch Gear stuff.

Of the more chaotic designs, i’ve only really enjoyed this one:

Still doesn’t mean I’d actualy wear it though!

by woooburn on Aug 4, 2011 1:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah I think the people that are designing these shirts need to realize the difference between a good desktop wallpaper and a t shirt

At first I was like YAY!

I like "tapout" shirts

but then I was…

I’m talking the pre Walmart and Target Tapout era. When it was a white shirt with black tapout logo or vise versa

Like this


but not this

And a black Tapout shirt with wrapped hands under the logo I won from Stitch Duran on Twitter.

makes me think of this:

Mixed martial artist Phillipe Nover announced design plans Thursday for a new T-shirt that he claimed would be completely covered in hundreds of dumbshit fighting terms and stupid fucking tribal patterns. “This shirt will feature a rambling assortment of worthless violent images and words, like ‘grapple’ and ‘slam,’ all thrown together in the most unappealing colors possible,” said Nover, adding that graphics would include spray-painted angel wings, laughing skulls wearing crowns, random splatter marks, and other images so idiotic they could only appeal to 8-year-old boys from Long Island or emotionally undeveloped middle-aged men. “It’s going to look like two Ed Hardy shirts fucked and vomited on each other. I can guarantee it will be the stupidest, ugliest T-shirt ever made.” When asked if the inside tag would also feature an unsightly design, Nover admitted he had not yet thought of that but would be sure to include “machine guns or naked lady silhouettes or something else that’s stupid.”

I hate all MMA shirts.

I must be allergic or something, but I flinch whenever I see one. Including these.

by pud333 on Aug 4, 2011 4:06 PM EDT reply actions  

That looks cool

But I’d never wear that shirt, nor would I wear most MMA shirts. Too douchey. Maybe a Form athletics one or something, but nothing like Affliction.

Let the fighters fight, let the referees ref, but dear God, don't let the judges judge.
