Dave’s Geeky Ideas have brought us fantastically nerdy hockey jerseys in the past—like these Game of Thrones and Voltron versions—but now you can be a Time Lord or Link. The designs are embroidered and you can choose your name and number.
Check out the Link jersey after the break.
Tron and motorcycle suits go together. UD Replicas already offers Sam Flynn and Quorra replica suits, so why wouldn’t they make a copy of Rinzler’s? He may be not be so nice, but his threads make a statement on the grid or not. You can buy almost everything you see in the photo: boots, jacket, gloves, pants, and the identity disc. You’ll have to find your own helmet. Without it, the protective material the suit is made of won’t do you much good.

Until November 17th, Dave’s Geeky Ideas is selling these Lannister Lions and Stark Direwolves Game of Thrones hockey jerseys along with a Voltron version for $65-$70 each (plus a $10-$40 shipping fee). That’s pretty damn expensive, but you do get fully embroidered crests and your custom name and numbers.
Considering that boring old official hockey jerseys can run between $100-$200, this actually seems like a bargain.

The E39 from Under Armour contains a sensor pack called “a bug” that features a triaxial accelerometer, processor, and 2GB of storage along with heart rate and breathing monitors. It’s capable of analyzing movements and vital signs then beaming that information to smartphones, iPads and laptops for analysis.
Obviously, the intent is to gather data to help improve athletic performance—and it will be showcased at the NFL Combine this week on 10-30 prospective players. Under Armour plans to make the technology available to Under Armour contracted teams, schools and trainers then the general public—hopefully by 2012.

These Small Foot inflatable showshoes are a compact solution to traveling a cross deep powder. All you need to do is strap the little donut around your shoes and you’re good to go.
They fit into a couple of small bags when not in use, and can be inflated quickly using the hand pump. I doubt they would work as well as a full-sized pair of snowshoes, but they are probably better than anything you could cobble together Bear Grylls style.

Supposedly, these are conceptual designs of Twitter and Facebook shoes by Gerry Mckay for Adidas. But I believe (I hope) this is the internet’s way trolling me and that these will never come to be.
It’s no secret that I’m a social media addict and that I loves me some Twitter, but wearing a pair of “Twitter Superstars” just strikes me as “social media branding” run amok.
Am I crazy, or are these really a step too far? Check out the Twitter version after the break.
From That’s Nerdalicious… While browsing the official Devo store for a suitable Energy Dome for his son’s Mark Mothersbaugh Halloween costume, David Pescovitz came across this Hot Dog Fresh cycling jersey, which will show people that you’re down with New Wave music and cylindrical mystery meat, while also scaring the crap out of neighborhood vegetarians.

I can’t tell you how long I have waited for a jacket that looks as good on a bike as it does with a cravat at some Eurotrash bar. Enter the Derny Trench Jacket.
Which team would you like to play for? The Death Star Dianogas or the Kashyyk Rage? The Empire’s jersey features the tentacles of the Death Star trash masher along with “Tarkin” and the number 77 (signifying the year of Star Wars’ first release on the big screen). The Rebel jersey features Chewbacca and the number 78 (Star Wars holiday TV special?).
