Where do I begin...
1) Luke is correct, a good blogosphere buddy of ours (Rob Kelly from THE AQUAMAN SHRINE) spearheaded a movement that saved this hoodie from never being produced. Shortly after being originally solicited, it was canceled by the producing company. Rob got the Aquaman fans motivated and it was eventually produced thanks to their efforts. Hats off to Rob and the Aquaman fans for making this happen. Just goes to show what some motivated fans that are willing to spend some money can get accomplished. I was truly impressed.
2) Just my personal opinion... it is rather unattractive. It's not the designers fault, it's simply the combination of Aquaman's orange and the hoodie don't work for me. While I'm a huge Aquaman fan, I couldn't bring myself to buy this. Again, just my opinion. For those people that have purchased one and like it, more power to you.
3) As Ed uncovered on the Firestorm message board for DC, I commented that I'd buy a Firestorm hoodie, but probably wouldn't wear it in public. While I have very little shame or pride, that's a little too much for me.
Y'all crack me up.

This is hilarious. I found this while doing a Google search for Firestorm
hoodie, just to see if I could get a laugh. Extra, extra: I got a laugh.
