Dean Lord is a 21-year-old graphic designer from the U.K. who has created what may be the ultimate nerdy fashion statement with his 151 Pokemon Shirt. This shirt features all of the original 151 Pokemon from the classic cartoon and is sure to appeal to the legions of young adults who grew up with dreams of being a Pokemaster.
The 151 Pokemon Shirt is colorful and has a minimalist look as all of the Pokemon are shown only in silhouette. The fact that these Pokemon are only shown in silhouette may drive some people away, as being able to spot both obscure and iconic Pokemon is a bit of a hassle. Regardless, that just makes this shirt more appealing to true fans such as myself. If you get the urge to wear them all then Dean Lord's 151 Pokemon Shirt can be yours for $24.
