Halloween Horror Nights 33 (UOR) - Merchandise

[MikePat]

I know we usually have a thread for hhn merchandise every year, so I guess with first set of merch out now, I guess it may be a good time to start it:

Weren't we just talking about how difficult it would be to portray '90s style? I guess it was easier than we expected.

 

[Jake S]

Well ... who knows, maybe it has a great personality.

I like it in concept. Unlike last year's Into the Fog shirt, the style feels like something I could wear outside of the Halloween season, and with preview merch being sold outside of the Halloween season, that's good. The 90s aesthetic and bright orange colors gives some character.

It's been 23 years since the last orange HHN shirt. Glad Universal is taking notes from their merchandise history.

If I didn't look closer, I would think it was a shirt from Six Flags Scream Break.

What makes merch “HoS” or “Six Flags” quality? Just wondering.

Nothing. They're saying the logo/graphic is "Six Flags/HOS" style as if it's not "HHN quality/standards". Even though HOS has given great merch in the past. Six Flags... unfortunately is a victim of corporate cheapness (a few designs to use at multiple parks instead of park exclusives).

Everyone wanted the 90s. Universal gave them 90s. Yet, nobody likes it (here or the FB/Twitter side). Go figure

I want the logo Aiello posted as a legitimate patch to put onto clothes. That'd be great.


The simplicity it makes leads to something that'd easily be a great patch--something that doesn't overtake much and is fun enough.

 

[Wesker69]

The arch with palm trees & skulls graphic would look great on the back of a jean jacket, flannel or hoodie

Maybe another patch design?

This image was the first thing I thought of when I saw the shirt. It could just be the bright colors, but it just doesn't feel like Universal to me.

doesn't feel like "halloween" or "horror" is what I think people are trying to say lol

feels very "the band your parents want you to stop listening to"

Add a shark to the water.. it'll be JAWS related which makes it Universal.

Soooo basically the 90s/early 2000s which everyone practically begged for in the spec thread

you gotta stop painting with such a broad brush. not everyone is clamoring for a 90s/2000s aesthetic and even those that are reserve the right to think this design is mid.

Well, neither did the 80s look they went with a few years ago.

If you don't like it, you don't like it - but I think we're digging beyond that for reasons to hate other than "Just not my style".

Didn't say I hated it... just doesn't "feel" proper for a Halloween event with haunted houses lol

 

[Jake S]

I just don't like how it looks and think it's a poor execution of the idea. That said, I think Horror Nights at this points is a brand into itself and as such I'm not really tripping if it doesn't feel like Halloween or Horror. And that's not even getting into how broad both of those descriptors are.
