Now, if you can afford and like t-shirts that cost over $100, that's all fine and good. I Just hOpe he doesn't acquire an excessive taste for such things, because we all know what happened to the last person who went down that path.

Its pretty ugly imo for 121 bucks shirt.
Actually if you make 100k a year without any kids/dependants you can throw money away. 100k is ALOT of money for one person.
ok seriously, $100 for THAT? I've spent $100 on t-shirts before but they were actually good looking t-shirts and not something a 10 year old happend to draw on a white t-shirt. JD you got too much money!
I'm wondering if I should move to korea and marry there after I finally graduate from middle school then highschool and finally the awesome college. Hot korean chicks that play star craft to marry and pawn.
that tshirt was popularized by famous celebrities like gdragon from bigbang and sohee from wondergirls wearing it on TV. agree that its an ugly design though
well he makes so much money + he doesn't spend any on living. I guess it's ok for him to buy a T-shirt for 100$. It's not even THAT much. Just remember Savior's clothes xD

Not to mention he has no house/food to pay for, since that's provided by Oz.

Yeah it really is a ton. Like someone making $100k and supporting a family of 2, mortgage, car, etc., is considered to still be doing quite well.
Given that Jaedong doesn't even have to pay for food and board and makes upwards of $300k when factoring in prizes and endorsements, he probably literally ends up with about 10x as much spending money in his pockets as someone in the situation I just described.
I thought JD was one of the progamers with worst payroll compared to his accomplishments? I remember reading about this in one of the countless articles about his "Free agency".
I very much doubt he makes 300 000$/year.
EDIT: According to an article at gosugamers:
The financial argument also exists, as OZ offered the legendary Zerg a base salary of $112.500/year with possible bonuses adding up to extra $50.000. Player's family, however, requested a base salary of $145.000 and an advance on bonuses as well.

he makes much more money from bonuses(fk latin) and doing commercials and advertisements for products. I remember a guy saying earlier its quite common to see a billboard with Jaedong's face on it. While he probably doesn't make as much as 300k, i think 250k is quite possible.
that's gotta be the crappiest 120$ T-shirt I've ever seen. I guess he's trying to make a point: "look my ugly ass t-shirt is 100 bucks, you can guess the price of my cool clothes".
wow I cant believe that shirt costs that much... I find it a bit sad tbh, reminds me of savior and the stupid superexpensive shit he bought with the tears of his fans.
But that's a harsh comparison of course, I still love you Jaedong. And yeah 100$ isnt that much when you make as much money as he does.

agreed.. Im all for that simplistic design and color scheme, and that hand drawn idea, but it isnt working for me hehe. Unless there is some historic or symbolic significance to it. Like.. if it was drawn using a golden mouse ..by the blind person boxer played or something.

Its all about apperances ... and 125USD isn´t THAT outrageous, at least not if you translate it into swedish kronors (probably around 900, your average "nice" t-shirt would be 5-700)

... Comme Des Garcons Play is just one of the CDG lines.
As a owner of several CDG Homme+, Play, Black, Shirt pieces, it is mildly frustrating to see people who obviously don't know much about high fashion history/culture etc. posting about something I am really interested in and love in such an ignorant way. Oh well ^^

I'm sorry I dont like wasting thousands of dollars on clothes when, if I just look for them long enough, I find great looking clothes for just a tenth of the price.
Btw. what's the definition of high fashion? I honestly dont know. Is high = expensive, or is there more to it?

It just doesnt look good to me. If you want to waste so much money on that, when you could produce that yourself for half of the money... oh well :x

This is about taste not about knowledge. People are entitled to their opinion. It's mildly frustrating reading your post.

Although you are entitled to your opinion, these kinds of close minded posts really do irk some people.
Think of it in the same way as when people claim that Brood War is a "10 year old game with shitty graphics and outdated mechanics". People are free to say what they want, but it really might be frustrating to read if Brood War happens to be one of your interests.
I find this entire thread to be ironic. Haven't you guy's seen people on TL.net dish out $100 dollars for a progamer jacket, or $50 for a progamer shirt? Granted they look cooler, but the overall idea is the same. For people who don't watch progaming or understand progaming, the jackets might look weird/lame (due to all the names on it), and some people even get people staring at their shirts when they wear them (due to wtf moment). Same thing for this, for people don't understand the fashion sense of it, or whatever statement he thinks he is making by wearing that shirt, you guys will criticize. But, you are all hypocrites as well since you do the same thing with progaming clothing.

?? sorry but that's a terrible analogy. It would only be viable if brood war costed 1000$ while all other games cost 10$.
what I'm saying is that high price doesn't mean its better than cheaper clothes, and that if you just keep looking long enough you find great looking clothes for good prices.
So yeah what the fuck is "close minded" about my post?

Nothing dude. The close-minded ones are the fashion afficionados who are getting all upset that people question ludicrously over-priced clothing. Hey, here's an idea - if you think fashion should be treated as art, expect criticism. That's what happens with every other art-form.
Goddamn elitists.
Oh, and agreed. That was a terrible analogy to broodwar. I love how people bring up broodwar as an analogy to try and make a point no matter how badly disimiliar it is to the subject.

It's less than 900 Swedish kroner.. Probably around 580 Danish, which is around the same as 680-720 Swedish, I think..
