JCPenney has added Wheel of Fortune to its line of pop culture graphic T-shirts. It is a blue shirt featuring a bootleg logo using the unofficial SF Fortune Wheel font, a 16-wedge Wheel with logo resembling a hybrid of the Tyco board game and the 80's Avon merchandise, and the word "CHAMPION" underneath. This is likely the first time any retailer besides Wheel themselves is selling licensed Wheel T-shirts. Despite looking like something off of DeviantArt, the inside of the shirt does say "© CPI", which presumably stands for "Califon Productions, Inc."  The shirt can be found in some stores (not all; the one by me does not carry them), and can also be ordered online. It retails for $19.99, but is usually on sale for $9.99 or less. Buy it here! www.jcpenney.com/p/wheel-of-fortune-graphic-t-shirt/ppr5007864896?pTmplType=regular |

Actually, I know that layout very well. I have a nice little pillow toy that I got at an arcade many years ago. I still have that. The layout used on it is the same thing here only with the Bankrupt and $750 swapping places. I'll see if I can get my hands on that shirt.

Wore my WOF shirt today to a Colorado amusement park. Got several people who asked “really?” & listened to my short overview, what a self esteem builder! Met a lady who was on a game show in 1961. After she was chosen, she had to get from Long Island to NYC the NEXT DAY! She won $5500 in prizes, no cash back then. She said they sold most of them to pay the taxes as she was a young wife married to a serviceman. She won an evening gown & fur coat, but neither one fit. Oh how times have changed. It was fun to swap stories.

I had ordered this shirt online today, only to get an email shortly after saying my order was canceled...

^ Did you try to have it shipped to your home or to your nearest JCP store? I did the latter option, and then bought another one when I was just in California and a JCP there carried them.
I guess these shirts are now in high demand. :lol:
