One of our most asked for shirts has just been restocked! Head on over to our store to get yours now! I think the shirt has an interesting little history to it so I thought I'd share some info on the design.

The X's For Eyes was the second shirt we ever released to the public. It made it's debut at SacAnime Summer 2015. After we generated some hype at Fanime 2015 I wanted to offer something other than the Dugout Tees for SacAnime. I guess even back then I was conscious that I didn't want us to be a one-trick pony. We made only about seven of them for the convention and are just now restocking it.

The design overall was inspired by the band shirts I'd rush to Hot Topic to buy back in the day. If you couldn't already tell by the song in the video it was influenced a lot by the Misfits. It was actually just a back up design to another shirt we had planned for the convention. The original shirt we were going to make was themed with a certain famous anime in mind that we didn't have licensing rights to. Shit got rejected by our printer with the quickness.

A fun fact about this shirt is that it takes a lot from other Senpai Social Club shirts I was designing at the time. Daps' (our character) face was predominantly for a Big Bang shirt I was gonna make to wear at their concert. The stylized text and kanji came from a disney themed shirt I made for the D23 Expo. And the name of the shirt is a twist on a line from the movie Coraline.

So for those of you that have been wanting this shirt, the wait is over! I hope knowing the history of this shirt gets you a little more excited to own it.
