Minecraft Periodic Table T-Shirt

My son is a real fan of the game Minecraft and so I was specifically looking for something a little unusual but related to the game to give him as a stocking filler this Christmas.

Minecraft is a game where you construct buildings and structures by placing different types of blocks, for example, bricks, earth, iron, gold etc. The graphics in the game are extremely simple, almost crude, but each different type of block is easily recognisable to anyone familiar with the game.

This t-shirt has each of the primary Minecraft blocks arranged in a layout resembling the traditional periodic elements table. Each block has a symbol underneath, again to make it look more authentic.

The t-shirt itself is made of good quality cotton and it is well finished with no loose ends or stray threads. The colour is a very solid black - unlike some other novelty t-shirts I've bought in the past where the colour was streaked.

I purchased a medium size and it was a generous fit and there were no signs of shrinkage after a couple of washes.

The main disappointment was that the Minecraft blocks were a transfer rather than being printed into the fabric. Whilst they looked bright and vibrant on opening the packet and lovely for the first wear, after washing a couple of times they have started to fade a little and are starting to crack in a few places. This has spoilt the overall look of the t-shirt.

Overall, my son was chuffed to bits with it when he opened it. He has had a lot of fun with friends (who also play Minecraft) identifying the different blocks. It is just a shame that I don't think it will continue to look good after a number of washes.

Another geek relevant item that appeals to the more scientific. great fun, great quality and a brilliant present for the game player :)

Not much more I can say really. My Minecraft obsessed13 year old loves it. Note that this is an adult small and my son is 13 and fairly petite and this isn't likely to fit him for much longer. Buy a size bigger than you think you'd want. Otherwise excellent ( if expensive ) it even elicited words of approval from US airport security at Baltimore Airport, who loved it. Who knew ?!

My son loved his t-shirt. It's just what he wanted and is wearing it a lot. He's been complimented by his friends and have been asked several times where did he get it from.

Ideal for Minecraft players and a must for Minecraft addicts ;-)

This was a fantastic gift for my husband for Christmas. A good quality t-shirt and print design I was really pleased when this arrived, I'm tempted to buy one myself!

It looks OK. The material is good. The picture however looks a bit pale and I have yet to find out how many washings it will stand.

It is a birthday present. My son have wanted these for a long time and I am sure he will love it
