Another “for gamers, by gamers” clothing line, Joybot, was launched earlier this week by MLG personality, Nexy, and former MLG editor, Peridious. With its roots deep in the MLG community, Joybot has been sported by Pistola, Gandhi, and other MLG pros and personalities. With simple and sharp hand-designed graphics on high quality materials, these tees and sweatshirts are sure to be a hit with everyone on your list.

This visionary clothing line is based on the work of a Swiss think tank that does “experimental research on new ways of thinking and the power of imagination” according to the company’s website. This may sound like it’s over your head, but don’t worry, it’s just clothing. Imaginary Foundation makes some of the gaming space’s coolest looking shirts – this business man casually walking into the heart of a black hole or this astronaut surfing a monster wave spanning the entire shirt are prime examples. Without a doubt, you’ll be sure to catch everyone’s eye with these vivid designs and inspiring messages.
