the walmart brony shirt made yahoo news...oh my MLP making news,woo hoo

The thing is, this isn't really like mixing star wars with star trek, It's My Little Pony mixed with a My Little Pony fan word.

True, but they all equally confuse and, apparently, anger people.  Or make people laugh.

LOL, that's awesome - I love crazy knock offs

I can understand them making a mistake and combining G1 characters with the word Brony because of the popularity of 80s nostalgia right now, but then one thing I don't understand is who this shirt is supposed to be for...it's in girl's sizes, is it not? Those of us who lived through the 80s and would presumably want this (mistake or not), are adults!

In general though, the G1 shirts bug me because they always get the colors/symbols wrong and/or it's a pony I don't like! This one's almost cute despite the confusion of generations, if only the ponies were colored accurately! Make some adult women's shirts with G1, and then I'd be happy, but I worry now they're only going to stick with G4 now that they've been informed of their mistake.

Also, the articles and stories I've seen about this seem to by hyping the "anger" reaction...I actually felt better about how fans are really responding to this when I read the comments about it on EqD.

Elisto, I remember them coloring ponies wrong back in the 80s too!  There were merchandise things I found where they had some of the ponies colored funny or the symbols were wrong.  And they often used ponies I was not a big fan of. 

So maybe the mis-colored G1 ponies are an homage to the old mis-colored ponies back in the 80s.

True I have a G1 storybook where Medley is in it but she's come out as a blue colour rather than green.

I don't mind the colors so much as the art itself.  It doesn't really feel "G1" to me.  It feels like G3.   Oh well, at least they tried . . .

I do have to agree, I find the "vintage/retro" stuff on juniors stuff odd sometimes,  since that would be like me as a teenager buying a shirt that had something from my parents' childhood on it but not something I was ever into (like Benny & Cecil). Like a few years ago when I bought the original Rainbow Brite shirt at Walmart. I wondered how many teens really knew anything about her.

Granted some things that are retro will always be popular (Looney Toons, Mickey Mouse, Flintstones)

I get the girls clothing, because as a mother I'd buy it for my DD because she too young to have a say  (lol).

I would love to see a G3 shirt in adult sizes

I guess the best answer is for the people who don't like the shirt to not buy it.

Did anyone watch the second half of the video?  I want a pocketful of Benedict Cumberbatch coins!

And that is the best suggestion I have seen! Dont like it...ignore Like it...buy it!

It's more like common sense.

I personally always saw Medley the toy as blue...

That explains it, she took up a second job at the printing factory.
