New! Fresh! 8-Bit Disc Golf is coming!

[throwfromthewoods]

I am as pleased as Mario wrapped up all cozy in a Tanooki Suit to announce the recent creation and inevitable launch of a new line of Disc Golf apparel. 8-Bit Disc Golf combines the sport you love with the nostalgia you wistfully reminisce about when you're half in the bag. I'm here to help you represent the Nintendo generation on the course with old school gamer-inspired threads.

Take a peek at a couple designs I have in store, and stay tuned for more. Mock-ups are on their way and I hope to get the first batch out on the courses before the summer season really gets underway. This thread is just to generate buzz and feedback for right now, but I promise to update you all on new developments as they happen.

So sit back, grab an old mix tape, a 2-liter bottle of Shasta, and shake out those thumbs. 8-Bit Disc Golf is coming…

I can see this selling well! Keep up the work

 

[GLong]

you should send a PM to phillymatt and see if he has any ideas, he loves the old games.

One more for the day! Sure, the Konami Code is cheating. But if it wasn't acceptable, why would they create it?

 

[JTacoma03]

lol, nice. Can we expect an 8-bit Climo throwing a Roc? Or an 8-bit basket being hit by a disc?

 

[PhillyMatt]

2nd thumbnail in first post is epic. well done.

@glong, yea, just got confirmation on my 7th world record for punch-out last week. w00t

Nice! Don't forget about Metroid, for the love of Samus!

 

[onemilemore]

These were a few favorites from back in the day.

T & C Surf and Skate

Kid Icarus

Zelda

and Rygar (this guy threw a spinning disc of death!)

 

[Sean Johnson]

I'll def buy some when they're out.

I do have to tread lightly when it comes to marketing specific games or characters. Infringement will flatten you faster than Donkey Kong before the kill screen.

As much as I'd like to design Megaman blasting discs through trees or Super Mushrooms with the phrase, "Go Big or Bogey," I still need to look into the licensing rights and intellectual property loopholes (I have little to no shame when I can get away with it). In the future I can't wait to play with something like the original top-scrolling Legend of Zelda scenery.

Thanks for the positive feedback though! I can't wait to get some of these out and in your hands.

IMO the gradient on the 8 Bit Disc Golf logo makes it difficult to read. I'm not saying impossible, but when it comes to branding you don't want people to struggle with identifying your "mark." I think it's a cool idea though. Be careful (as you already mentioned) with what you put on shirts. You'd be surprised with what can get you in trouble.

My actual logo work is a lot better. I just shrunk everything and made it low-res to discourage any...borrowing.

I'd buy an "All your ace belong to us." shirt.

Tallgrass Brewery in Manhattan, KS recently released their 8-bit Pale Ale.
