Game of Bricks T-shirt
Posted by CapnRex101,
Christoph Bartneck, the author of various LEGO Minifigure Catalogues, has created a Castle-themed T-shirt based on Game of Thrones. It features the sigils of Castle factions from across the last four decades and these are presented in the style of the houses from Game of Thrones.
The design, known as 'Game of Bricks', has been submitted to Threadless and is in need of your vote if it is to be manufactured and made available for sale.

List the factions and their year of appearance without looking it up, go.
Cool!! I want this shirt!
I'd actually like this a lot better with just the shields and no cheesy game of thrones paraphrasing.
You guys might like some of my shirts I have been uploading recently.

I would absolutely love this shirt!
But I agree with @JonMarten and would prefer to just see the shields and forget the wording.
It is a great shirt and I would buy except I wish it had a different message at the bottom of the shirt
What is the yellow one between the Slytherin and Fantasy Era Orc shield? I've never seen that before.
Without the wording (which justifies parody status) the T-Shirt could not be manufactured without a licensing agreement from LEGO as it would simply be using intellectual property belonging to LEGO.
Love it! Voted.
I would love to vote for it. Is there anyone who would be willing to make that kind of shirt but without the Game of Thrones reference? Would buy that
Isn't this the same guy a couple of months ago published a paper stating that Lego is getting more violent?
@ sethro3 that shield is http://brickset.com/parts/4293417
^Thank you. Since it was never on a triangle shield, it did not look familiar. Somehow seeing all of these on a shirt with triangle shields, it feels wrong to me. Odd.
I would be happy to offer the shirt also with GoS reference. Just let me know and I prepare one version. Also, have a look at the Classic Castle Minifigure Catalog: http://www.minifigure.org/book/the-classic-castle-lego-minifigure-catalog/
Had no idea there were so many factions--fun to see them all in one place!
I'd love to have a poster of that on my wall :D
+1 for one without the GOT references.
Never seen Game of Thrones, But the shirt sure is cool.
Love the shirt, but like others have said I'd probably prefer one without the GOT reference (or text at all). In general not a fan of text on shirts. However, if it must be there for legal reason, what about altering it to something like "you build or you die." So at least it's more Lego-themed.
(Also, for what it's worth, I think it would look nicer with the entire graphic reduced in size slightly so it doesn't take up quite so much space.) But nitpicks aside, love the idea of a lineup of Lego shields like that.
Yeah, can the original artist create one without the GoT reference? Would be greatly appreciated
I wish people who used that shoddy Game of Thrones free font would learn what kerning is.
This design looks pretty bad with the text, shame they can't do it without it for licensing issues. But it did give me an idea of just getting my favourite Castle era shield printed on a shirt. I think it'd look pretty good.
Definitely cool but I, too, prefer it without the text (especially the bottom line)
Must... have...
