Seller Says Original, From Australia
With Sonic X-Treme in the news a lot this week, it’s worthy to wonder how Sega would have promoted the title. It was meant to be Sonic’s signature Saturn title, and before the plug was pulled, it looked like Sega had some materials ready to unleash on the masses.
Perhaps the most glaring example right now is a T-shirt now available on EBay for $24.99. It is a strange mix–with the X-Treme logo juxtaposed with Sonic kicking a soccer ball–but the seller insists it’s original. The claim is that it’s from Australia, circa 1997. It’s in a child size 7, somewhat used, and it can be yours–as of this publication–for $24.99.
Whether you’re a collector or have a younger sibling that you want to convert over to Team Blue, if you want this, you better hurry. Bidding will close in just under two days.

This is official, all right. They used pretty much the same logo and picture of Sonic on the wrappers of ice-cream sandwiches, as well as the cover of a children’s book.
I remember that cover it was on a ice cream rapper … I miss it
Wait… didn’t I have a T-shirt just like that? What happened to it, anyway?
Wait, Australia? That probably is! Bastards!
Seen it before, it’s real.
It’s real. I’ve seen it in the US as well back in the 1990′s.
wow, maybe there was a football mini game included!
There was other Sonic X-Treme merchandise, including books, pins, and even toy walkie-talkies. I can’t help but wonder if the merchandise actually had anything to do with the game, since X-Treme was just supposed to be a platformer with no mention of extreme sports anywhere.
@Soul Gauge: We’ve been getting a heck of a lot of Sonic merch this year, everytime I go to Target there’s somethin’ new for Sonic in the gaming section, and it’s worth taking a peek in Jay-Jays for ant Sonic T-shirts etc ^.^ hehe
