Online retailer Shelfies.com has entered the world of gamer apparel and video-game inspired fashion with its BioSloth sweater and t-shirt. Based on the cover artwork of the hit video game BioShock Infinite, the sweater and T-shirt boast a humorous twist by replacing the head of the protagonist of the game with the head of a sloth. The sloth's head is seamlessly integrated into the body of Booker DeWitt, the protagonist and player character, as he stands posed against the backdrop of a burning banner while clutching a very large gun.
BioShock Infinite received strong reviewers and grew in popularity thanks to its complex story and high quality graphics. This gamer apparel is a fun, lighthearted jab at the action-packed but ultimately somber hit video game that many gamers will enjoy.
