This Angry Birds vs Star Wars t-shirt is an oddly appealing fashion fusion that bridges two pop culture phenomenons (Star Wars and Angry Birds) into one piece of apparel.

The shirt comes in a wide variety of colors and sizes, but what will really make the Angry Birds vs Star Wars t-shirt stand out to customers is that it is the ultimate [pop culture in-joke](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-tee) that only the most discerning fans will recognize. By dressing up the pigs from the Angry Birds game series like Gamorreans from the Star Wars empire (the piggish looking soldiers under Jabba The Hutt's command in Return of the Jedi), this shirt is a veritable instant geek fashion classic.
