A Tale of Two Shirts

Most recently I bought two Pokémon shirts, one an officially licensed merchandise, and the other an indie-type product. You can see both side-by-side here:


You might have seen one of these if you've read one of my posts a short time ago. Now, can you guess which one is the officially licensed and which one is the "indie"?

Here's the answer. The one with just Pikachu is the officially licensed and the one with Ash is the "indie". The one on the left almost looks like a sports jersey but has a tag with official branding; the one on the right has no tag. In addition, for the shirt on the right, seeing the Go emblem with a feature of the anime is a bit odd; for the shirt on the left, the "e" is accented properly, making it at least look official.

Regardless of these details, I bought the shirts because I think they are still aesthetically pleasing - the elements are all centered except for the Go emblem for the shirt on the right - and they're still Pokémon merchandise after all. If you like Pokémon as much as I do, perhaps you would do the same.
