Heya guys! My dad just got back from a flea market and said he found something really cool, and I think he was right. He told me one of the regular guys who buys and resells storage unit items had a bunch of clothing. My dad typically looks for old concert/band shirts he likes. However he found this:








Apparently the guy had a small collection of old Nintendo games in the morning as they opened, but a regular reseller/vendor bought them all right away. He did sell my dad a Nintendo with a controller, but that was all he had left Nintendo-wise.

What is this? I can't find it online anywhere. Is this some kind of promotional item? How long was it sitting in that storage unit? It's really cool, but what the heck is it?! 0_o

Edit: Just realized the neck has no label or markings on size or anything of any kind.

I think its spose to be a racing suit. That is one of the most bad ass things Ive ever seen!

I have to say, you just proved to me I haven't see it all. It's awesome but I don't know what it is.

Welp. This is the coolest thing I've seen in a while

I have nothing more to add.

 

The modern Super Mario logo mixed with the old style artwork definitely indicates that this is some sort of bootleg textile.


Despite that fact this is hands-down the coolest thing I have ever seen licensed or not. I do think that being unlicensed makes this significantly less valuable but cool factor alone is top-notch.

Yea I picked up on that logo right away
 

I consider myself a videogame clothing specialist and I have never seen anything like this. The new logo makes me realize it in fact is not.old.....unfortunately. I'm interested if you don't want it though. Thank you!

I've oddly had a lot of people PMing to see if I was selling it. Not sure yet, I'd like to do some more digging into what it is first. I wonder if Nintendo themselves would know what it is? Perhaps I should ask them!

Looks like the race suit worn by Mario in the artwork for Famicom Grand Prix II : 3D hot ralley...

This suit is in Odyssey, which would explain why someone made it recently.
