December 2002 - Ed Fear on "Can't Get Enough Video Games" (BBC2):
Once again, as the last few seconds of 2002 tick away, teen game designer Ed Fear came out of nowhere with this astonishing tour-de-force. Extra points for wearing the FairPlay Campaign For Cheaper Videogames shirt in the offices of Sony Computer Entertainment, on a prime-time BBC kids' TV show, with Katy Hill grinning like a maniac in the foreground. The standard by which all others must now be judged!
December 2002:
DJ Noisy Minority,
"Knowledge" drum and bass magazine
(click for bigger pic)
Top marks here to DJ Noisy Minority, for his unmistakable appearance in what he describes as "the UK's finest dnb mag". And well done too for getting a track on the cover CD, a "fairly evil little number" which still keeps "the groove of [Noisy Minority's] original". But, sticking with the pop theme, comiserations to Phil Purnell for this convincing-looking photo-montage - convincing, that is, apart from the fact that the Elite shirt should have a green, not black, background!

October 2002:
Dan Laufer,
"Develop" Magazine
(click for bigger pic)
No big prize here, as we can't be sure if it was deliberate, and also "Develop" isn't a widely distributed national publication. The same tragically applies to Vortex's recent appearance on BBC London Live, which additionally lost points for the t-shirt being largely unrecognisable in his video stream of it.

"Edge" Magazine
Oh dear.

May 2002 - Dave Green on Gamepad 2 (Bravo), Graeme Davison in The Northern Echo:
More digital channel under-exposure from Green here, so this month's prize goes to Graeme Davison - even though he only made it into a local newspaper, the ironic circumstances of his appearance were considered "particularly impressive" by the judging panel (click right-hand pic for full story).
"Dave Green" again (yawn) - Liquid News (BBC Choice) & Don't Read The Manual (UK Horizons), Feb 2002:
OK, the "Revolution" shirt isn't quite as visible as it should be, but there's no debate over the Elite one in "Don't Read The Manual" (pictured right, with a bewildered looking Stuart "Amiga Power" Campbell). Basically the point is: it's pretty easy to get one on a digital channel - terrestrial networks remain the real challenge...
Henry Bloomfield (wearing 31337), Independent on Saturday Magazine, January 5 2002:
Good exposure from Henry here (though we were as surprised as anyone to learn that The Independent is still going). Henry, of course, wins a shirt of his choice - but it could have been two if he'd managed to refer more to his attire during the car review on the right (eg: "like my shirt, it will be a success, but people will need a little bit of imagination to buy it").
Alex Ingram (wearing 31337), the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, December 28 2001:
A magnificent last-minute attempt in the last few days of 2001, which swept the board for duration of exposure, primetime scheduling, geekiness of programme, and Alex's nonchalant expression (maintained throughout). Truly this sets an impressive benchmark to beat in 2002...
