Am I the Only One Who Is Irritated by This Hoodie?

[FlutterShay 46]

So I was at Hot Topic earlier today, and I say a Vinyl Scratch/DJ PON-3 hoodie. I was excited and was thinking about getting it, until I pulled it off the rack to get a closer look, at which point I saw one little detail...

 

 

It has no mane! Now, I know that Vinyl's mane could be tough to pull off, and I sincerely hope that I'm not coming off as bratty and spoiled. It's just that with the horn and ears already on there, the lack of a mane makes it seem like some weird creature. 

Anybody else get what I'm saying, or is this all for naught?

 

I still think I may get it, but this just caught me off guard.

Design is good. But I agree. The missing mane sorta bothers me

Yeah, it probably would look better with a mane, considering they already put the ears and horn on.

[Doctor XFizzle 8,669]

Yeah it looks kinda weird as is because its a bunch of white on top. Having the mane in there would make it less awkward. Right now it looks like a white Teletubby hoodie.

I really don't think the lack of mane is the problem.. :I

It's shitty Hot Topic clothing made in Indonesia.  Still, you could always add a mane to it yourself; shouldn't be the most complex project around.  You could use felt, cut into strips (like with some of the pluhies out there) or any number of other fabrics/materials.

I think they should've put a mane. It sort of looks odd without the mane, since the horn and ears are their.

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

I am sorry it looks retarded with the horns and ears... If it was without those things the hoodie would be aweosme imo but the horn, and ears god it looks stupid with that. You'd pretty much would be asking to be laughed at!

[Appleloosa 90]

id agree with ticking timebomb. it would be awesome without the horn glasses and ears. but oh my god, that expression of pure joy that dude in the picture has is just priceless! XD

The mane is one of the best parts of Vinyl's design, it just isn't her without it.

[Troblems 5,617]

It does look a bit odd. The manes that come on the sweatshirts normally are really dopey looking too though. I agree, add your own, and make it more awesome.

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

If I was with a brony friend in public I would pretty much laugh at them while they were with me .... I mean the hoodie is nice just leave out those... ears and horn oh god it's just horrid xD!!

I was considering adding a mane (If I ever got this hoodie), but I hadn't really planned it out. Thanks for the idea!

Is the lack of a mane really the only issue here? Are there... no other design elements you think are off?.. *coughfreakingearsandhorncoughfakesunglassesprintedonthetopcough* No?

[fimdash 1,196]

Hot Topic's pony merch usually has something that's off :/ I recall seeing some of their shirts and the colors were really off. They charge quite a bit for their pony products too, and I think the buyers deserve better quality when it comes to show accuracy.

 

I don't think you should get it if you aren't satisfied with it. I've bought some merch before even though I noticed a flaw that bothered me, and I always kind of regretted it.

Yes...the ears and horn are the most laughable part of wearing obvious MLP attire in public.

It just doesn't look right on a hoodie imo

 

This kinda of a hoodie I can dig.

 

 

That to me is a good example of a nice mlp hoodie.

that hood looks a little wrong.

I think I know what you mean.  More often than not, body parts moved to the lower stomach area tend not to be the eyes, and they frequently earn an "explicit" tag (among others) over at Ponibooru.

I agree, it wouldn't be that hard to create a mane.

 

On a side note, your avatar picture made me jump!

[GrimCW 658]

Trust me, you are not alone

If I could just find an acceptable mane thing...

 

Other than that, way ahead of ya

 

I just need to find me an eyelet punch and some eyelets... mostly money to pay for them with tbh, I know where to get them

Its going to be adjustable somewhat..

Only hard part tbh is the horn here is smaller than the default cloth one, sooo.. prob gonna slap a patch under it.

 

Already swapped the black elastic band for a white one so they don't stick out so much

The mane doesn't bother me at all... how there is none.

You know...I think I've changed my mind about loving the design. It's definitely something I'd wear (without the hood) to be bronylike without others easily being able to tell, but it's pretty simplistic.

The horn......the ears.............that "I'm going to stab you in your sleep look" on the guys face........nope......nope NOPE NOPE  :okiedokielokie:
