    I have notice the rise of a trend about Superman logo t-shirts. I find two-three people (boys and girls) who wear Superman logo T-shirts every day. Some of them even made their own version. Have you notice that?
    It seems MoS really made people aware of Superman in a way or two.
    Also thanks to @saint_wildcard for reminding me of this with his other thread he made about t-shirts :-P

    Thanks for the mention. I made my little cousin a fan by watching MoS, he now wears a Superman shirt and a Superboy shirt.

    But maybe it's because of this article- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/10866021/Wear-a-Superman-t-shirt-to-boost-exam-success.html

    I live in Greece, I don't think an article like that from a different country affected the stylistic decisions of so many people :-P. Plus I a hardcore fan and I see this article for the first time.

    Never went out of style, people(non-comic fans) always ask me where I got mine and I have about 4 of them.

    To be fair, mine aren't ordinary Superman shirts, they're artistic in their designs.

    I see Batman, Superman, and Green Lantern shirts all the time - I've even seen a Flash shirt once.

    But I'm the only person I know who's ever worn a Green Arrow shirt.

    I was thinking the same thing.........on my way back and fourth to college ive seen groups and hordes of people with something superman related, mainly the t-shirts.......i think MoS had a positive impact on the general populace.

    I've seen more people wearing Flash Shirts than GL shirts, I've actually seen a lot of people wearing Flash shirts. Batman and Superman are pretty common, even before the movies.

    I've always seen the Superman logo tee as a mainstay like Chucks and 501's.

    I have several Green Arrow shirts. As you can probably tell the one in the middle I've had for quite a while.

    Indeed it was. You may appreciate this. While I was there I commissioned this from Norm Rapmund.

    The Superman Shield never goes out of style. People will still rock that Shield 100 years from now, I'm sure. It's just that iconic.

    I saw loads of people wearing the Superman shirts before Man of Steel. It actually annoys me a little, since 90% of the people wearing them have never even seen a Superman movie, let alone read a comic. The number of times I've tried to start a conversation with somebody about their Superman/Batman t-shirt and they've had no idea what I was talking about...

    Still, I guess it's pretty cool that Superman and Batman have such a huge reach that even people who haven't seen or read any of their stuff proudly wear their symbols on their chest.

    Not where I am from.
    I barely saw a Superman shirt and now they are all over the place. And in all circles too. I am talking from my experience though so I don't know how are things elsewhere.

    @squalleon: I guess since Superman is meant to be the most American superhero there is (apart from the obvious) the Superman thing may be mostly in America and other English speaking countries like Britain.

    It's possibly a cultural reason for Superman shirts not being so in-fashion in places like Greece

    Grant Morrison once said that it's mostly American writers who want to write Batman and it's usually foreign writers who want to write Superman...

    @saint_wildcard: Interesting. I don't know if thats true but it will be interesting if it is. What does the European writers see in Supes that American writers don't? Its ironic that the American icon doesn't appeal to the American public. And also it makes some sense 'cause a good part of the hardcore Superman fans here on the vine aren't american either.

    @minisaladfresh:

    Well Superman is definetely more connected with the USA market than the Greek one. Its only logical that the Greek market was reminded of Supes after MoS since except from the small fanbase that is the comic book fans, the others didn't have anything to connect them to the character. And even if they never saw the movie, they definetely remembered the symbol, which is iconic, timeless and cool. Plus the geek culture is in an all time high in terms of relevance and being "in".

    Everytime I see someone wearing a Superman T-Shirt in public, in secretly makes me like that person just a tiny bit more. Even if it's just some random stranger I don't know.

    I myself own about 10 T-Shirts, a jacket, and bunch of other random accessories
