Do you really need much more information than that pic at the top?All Saints, a popular retailer in the UK (mostly in the South, I think), appear to have literally copied the Valentine’s Day artwork/card from 4 Color Rebellion, a popular website about all-things-Nintendo, and put it onto a t-shirt.

All Saints are not a small operation, I saw multiple outlets of theirs in trendy and pricey areas of London on my recent trip there, and 4CR? Well, they were giving this image away for free back in 2006 for Valentines Day. I don’t think that giving away something for free includes taking that image and turning it into a faux-vintage. The strange thing for me is that this design doesn’t really fit with the aesthetic that I thought AS put out there, they had some really cool black and grey jackets in their windows, I didn’t think they even did stuff with graphics.

I don’t think that there’s any question that these are the same two images, the tetris pieces are in the same order and with the patterns on each picture, so these aren’t similar in concept, they’re just the same.

Here’s the tee @ All Saints (Costiness=£40)
And 4CRs post all about it [via You Thought We Wouldn't Notice]
