I agree, I was really excited to see the announcment and appreciate the release of the t-shirts but unisex/mens style does not fit me well at all.

I would love to see fitted female t-shirts, I'd prefer v-neck but round neck would be fine, just having the fit would be great! ^^
That would be a nice idea :]

But if I were to buy one, I would trim it/fit it to show curvyness xD
The problem with unisex shirts for me is...
The puff out under my boobs.
And makes me look ridiculously fat.
It's also uncomfortable, not feeling my clothes touch my skin.
I get all shivery for some reason.
I'm a girl and I prefer to wear guy's t-shirts... D: I have a figure... but I wish I didn't. hahaha.

also I hate v-necks... DX

But I'm more inclined to make my own Gambino shirt than buy one anyway; $20 for the shirt itself and $12 for shipping is not worth it.


I agree. ^__^ Although I would pay it for a shirt that fit me well. I've certainly paid more in-store for shirts that I really liked (even t-shirts!). I think that I'll go out and search for a good blue t-shirt next week and see what I can do! Or since it's summer, a tank top might be even better!

Oh wow, now I'm getting a ton of ideas. Handkerchiefs, headbands, socks, skirts, armbands... bikinis! It's a good thing that I don't have a lot of extra money during the summer, or I'd be sewing nonstop! :3
I'm glad to see there's so much support for this. I hope they see this. Even if they can't get the shirts out immediately, because I'm sure commissioning merchandise takes a lot of time and effort, it would be nice if they offer this as an option later, or even just keep this in mind for future items.

I was kind of surprised they didn't have them really. :/ Of course, Gaia hardly ever comes out with BOTH types in one kind of shirt. emo Which is highly annoying.

As a general rule, as long as you size down on a unisex style, it seems more like a fitted baby tee. Or so it has been in my experience. I may buy a Gambino shirt or not. I have other priorities right now. I'm just glad I could afford all three cash shop items with what I had left over on this account.
......? How do they not work on girls with curves? I have several male/unisex shirts and they work just fine on me, and I most certainly have curves. More than I really need, honestly. Yeah, I like those babydoll type or whatever they're called now, but there's nothing wrong with a basic style shirt.

Last time I checked, unisex t-shirts were made to fit both genders.

Be glad you've got any real-life team t-shirt at all.

Unisex is more or less a PC marketing strategy; they're still using the cut of men's shirts. I have one fitted t-shirt to probably close to two dozen unisex T's, and there's a large difference. Unisex falls off of the boobs and gives you a block of a torso, fitted T's go under the boobs and give you a figure.

I'm actually quite curious as to why they didn't make fitted shirts, though, since in an interview Craig said that females outnumber males on Gaia (55% to 45% I believe was what was stated). No sense why they wouldn't have them made in a different cut designed for the female figure.

But I'm more inclined to make my own Gambino shirt than buy one anyway; $20 for the shirt itself and $12 for shipping is not worth it.


Maybe this is my problem. I've never really been concerned with others seeing my "figure". I don't understand girls who are so concerned with their figure and constantly showing it off to anyone who'll oogle them.

I'm tempted already, but I'd be a lot more inclined to buy one if there was a girls' fitted version. I can wear a guys' small, but they're still a little big and shapeless on me xp


That's what I was thinking. I dislike wearing oversized clothing, and any of those t-shirts as they are would just be so baggy and eww in my eyes. >.<

Yes! I agree. Was definitely hoping to see girly versions of the team shirts. Boy tshirts always look awful on me.

I would love some girl-cut versions of these too. I'm a 32F (which works out to 44" around) with a fairly small waist, there's about 17" of difference between my bust and my midsection. So any shirt that fits around my chest looks HUGE around my middle, and looks really ridiculous. I have a few of the girl shirts already (Kiki, Coco, and the ILU shirt) and I love the way they fit.
I actually like the way the real shirts are made. I'm sick of seeing such girly-cut shirts all the time whenever I go out. Not every girl is interested in flaunting her shape. This is a nice change.

Besides, I remember a while back, there were some shirts that were only in the girl-cut style.
