I wanna keep my splatfest tee

[Scarlient]

You may not be able to wear them digitally in game but you can always wear a real life version of them. (Not official shirts)

I also think it'd be kind of cool to keep them just so you can pop them on every now and then for memory's sake. It'd be kind of cool if at least for the next day or two after Splatfest the winning side could continue wearing them for bragging rights. I'm aware that most people wouldn't want to.

I think the reason you have to hand the t-shirt back is probably technical - from a technical standpoint it's much easier to have one item called "Splatfest T-shirt" that has one icon that doesn't need updating. Also a Splatfest roughly every two weeks would mean ~24 Splatfests a year, and your inventory would be swamped by Splatfest t-shirts before long. I like the idea of collectible event items too, but the game isn't really designed to handle them.

Wouldn't mind if it didn't even have slots, I just want to keep them. lol

 

[Nukichuu]

i dont wanna keep the shirts but it would be nice to have something where you can see in what splatfests you participated

 

[DonkaFjord]

It'd be neat to see which Splatfests you participated in and who won, but I don't think keeping the shirt is the best way to do so. Maybe have a graffiti/sticker wall of fame over by spike with all your records like total amount of cash, amount of turf painted, K/D ratio, highest rank, how many items of gear you have out of how many items of gar there are etc.

Yes thats what i had in mind too, would be a nice addition

 

[Phobos]

Yeah I think keeping the shirt is unneccesary, but some kind of Splatfest memento would be nice.

 

[DonkaFjord]

I guess in the (theoretical) sequel we could get something like that. I would take knowing my stats over knowing each splatfest I participated in just because the Wiki can keep track of the themes and dates of every one but every one has unique stats. So far I think you can only tell amount of turf inked with each specific weapon.

Indeed, it's just a single shirt object, and then all (and I do mean all, from the map rotation data to the layout images and shirt images) Splatfest is downloaded, in this case when you boot it up and the news runs and it does its checks, if a Splatfest is being hosted, then it'll download shirt data, though I haven't checked if it's per region (IE I've seen the default texture from Japanese players wearing it).

It'd have to be part of the patch meaning they can't do it dynamically, they'd have to update it periodically. They might be able to get fancy and store it as a separate file in the save directory and link it from there, but I doubt they'll go that far. Can only have a max of 64MB anyways, it'd run out eventually.

Other region players just have their shirts appear as the default design as well as right after the splatfest people in the plaza who haven't signed in since the splatfest ended show up as having the default design, so that makes sense.

That would be cool but honestly other than that nothing special about the tees.It's just special saver, it's always special saver, with no brand either.

 

[Kivvx]

I'm especially fond of the color they chose for the marshmallow tee. Someone above mentioned though that your inventory could get swamped with splatfest shirts and I wouldn't want that.

I'd like for them to include a record of some sort of all the teams you've ever joined. But unless that happens, I'd have to do it manually myself.

I think actually they are always Squidforce tees, but yeah, still nothing special, particularly since a splatfest tee optimised according to its brand (so, with 3x strength up) will be equivalent to a piece of clothing that's already in the inventory (White Layered LS).

 

[xnox]

yeah, no. I don't see the point in a tee. some sort of momento of the occassion would be nice, 'cause at this point no one knows who took part in what, and it's a cool kind of "look, i participated in this and you didn't" thing so whatever., but not a tee.

Brands affect what power ups work better on equipment?

More like what abilities you're more likely or less likely to get with rerolls and I think when unlocking them too. Only thing that changes how effective they are is if it's a main (first bubble up top) or a sub (any of the 3 below it).

Ah I didn't know that. Thought they were neutral for some reason.

I'm actually a bit surprised that the shirt's main ability never changes. I would like it to rotate.

Yeah there are guides about the different brands and what not-

They probably chose the most 'Neutral' ability so people don't get something that doesn't fit well with everyone's playstyle. It would be fun if it rotated though.
