Bad Dudes Vs. DragonNinja 1988 Vintage Men’s T-Shirt

Bad Dudes Vs. DragonNinja, also known simply as either Bad Dudes (on the American port) or DragonNinja (in Japan and Europe), is a side-scrolling cooperative beat ’em up developed and released by Data East as an arcade video game in 1988.  Players are tasked with rescuing “President Ronnie” from ninja kidnappers. The game was a commercial success, becoming one of America’s top five highest-grossing games in 1988. The arcade version received positive reviews from critics and players alike and was ported to computer systems and game consoles, which also found success. It has since become widely known for its general premise and introductory cutscene saying, “Rampant ninja-related crimes these days… Whitehouse is not the exception.”

Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods. In short, these shirts are everything you’ve dreamed of and more – it feels soft and lightweight with just the right amount of stretch making it comfortable and flattering for both men and women.

Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.

*Heather colors are 52% combed and ring-spun cotton/48% polyester. Athletic and Black Heather is 90% combed and ring-spun cotton/10% polyester. Ash color is 99% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton and 1% poly. **Due to the nature of the printing process and different sizes of shirts offered, imprint position and scale may vary slightly from the product images, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible.
