Fall-1 2008 T-Shirt Preview Part 4 - Warzone
So I’ll be honest, this one here doesn’t really have some deep meaning or any lofty concept. This graphic is a classic example of something we like to play at Mishka. Make a cool graphic by cramming as many unrelated references we like as possible! Which brings us to the tee in question!
While I think we’ve at times gotten this game up to 8 references in one image, but we kept it pretty conservative here and stuck with only 3! One should be pretty obvious and that’s James Caan’s 1975 sci-fi/action classic Rollerball (Not the awful 2005 remake)! I’ve been obsessed with Rollerball ever since I saw a band soundtrack the entire opening sequence as the film played!
The second is within the type which was based on the first-person shooter Doom’s classic logo. Nothing like mixing evil mega-corporations, sports and some nasty ass demons from hell showing up on Mars! Who the fuck even knew Mars had a hell!? Man that right there could have been the sequel to Rollerball!
And the third… Wait… Not so fast! We’ll keep one reference to ourselves. But if one of you can figure it out we’ll send you a free Warzone Tee! Hell I’ll even give you three hints… The Face, Bill Cartwright & Night Court!
The shirt is only available in black, but it does come as an awesome pull-over hoodie with a front pocket print, sleeve print and large back print!

I’m afraid not

well, the eye looks like it’s from the Terminator skull. Not sure on the other reference but my first guess was Richard Moll’s character from the classic schlock film “House” and one of my personal faves. The rollerball + doom logo were easy to pick out. Who could forget the classic one-sheet for the original Rollerball???

You got it dude! Just remind us when Fall goes n sale on the site to send you one of these tees.

sweet! There was rumor of a House remake although I couldn’t figure out why. The original was a great mix of horror and comedy — c’mon…william katt and richard moll! bad enough there’s a poltergeist remake in the works…

Shit, I was gonna say the old Games Workshop tabletop game: Blood Bowl. I don’t even know if we had that film in the UK.

blood bowl! aw yeah - I waited in line when the first game came out…back in the late 80’s if I remember correctly. That came out at the same time as chainsaw warrior, another fine game. hopefully the Blood Bowl video game will be good….
