We’ve all owned gaming merch that we loved in theory… but never actually wore. And then there’s the pieces that become part of your normal wardrobe. So what actually makes great gaming merch? Because it can’t be the IP alone.
Today I’m joined by Dan Long, Head of Comms at Insert Coin Clothing, a brand known for making officially licensed game and film clothing that feels like proper fashion, not just a logo slapped on a tee.
We’ll talk about how collabs actually work behind the scenes, what goes into designing something fans will genuinely wear, and the small details that separate “I need that” from “why did I buy this?”. We’ll also get into Dan’s work as a podcast host on SplitScreen, and what he’s learned from speaking to people across the games industry.
Bring your questions to the chat. What’s the best bit of gaming merch you own, and what’s the one you can’t believe you ever bought?
