    I think it’s one of those things that the people who are into it are really into it.

    Personally, I just like signal-boosting merch.

      That’s the way I see it. The sets with images of characters etc just don’t seem like something I would ever wear.

      This collection turns out to be mainly insignia pins based on costumes which seems like a more viable niche. Our kids would have loved to have had these when they were tweens. I spent an entire con with one of them looking for naught at every vendor for a Discovery-style communicator pin.

      Not sure why signal boosting graphics on clothes feels different. I’m happy to wear my t-shirts and hoodies, and our family has many independently-designed licensed ones from teepublic.
