Star Wars x Addict T-Shirt Collection

Star Wars x Addict T-Shirt Collection - Vader Sports Label Tee, Stormtrooper Sport Label Tee, R2D2 Sport Label Tee & C3PO Sport Label Tee


UK clothing brand Addict has teamed up with Lucasfilm and Disney to produce a pretty cool, officially licensed line of Star Wars t-shirts featuring Darth Vader, Boba Fett, C-3PO, R2-D2 and Princess Leia. The Star Wars x Addict T-Shirt Collection is based primarily on the original Star Wars trilogy and is made up of a number of limited edition series, including the Addict Mainline Series, Shogun Vector Series and the Mitch Icons Series.

The Blot really loves the simplicity of this collection, with its clean lines and muted color schemes, although most of the designs remind me of previously released material. Some of the designs look like Star Wars versions of professional sports teams’ logos, while the others have the same look and feel as Obey Giant’s now iconic Obama presidential campaign poster. Then there’s the graffiti inspired character designs by Mitchy Bwoy that remind me of a mix of David Flores’ Star Wars tees and the Marc Ecko Cut and Sew Star Wars Collection. While you can definitely see the inspiration behind these designs, I like how Addict was able to make the styles their own.
