I'm actually looking to get my next tattoo soon, which will probably be the already fairly cool-looking SLDF insignia that will be immediately recognizeable by BattleTechies but represents a minimal "risk" of nerdentification by those less inclined.
I'm trying to figure out how to work the 'mech theme into my current cafe-racer build, but the rectilinear design elements and riveted fairing are as likely to conjure up images of WW2 tanks or planes unless I go heavy on insignias there, too.

Besides that, I have a pretty sweet shirt that references Robot Jox, but that's about all. I've been considering getting something Buckaroo Banzai related, though.
The problem with Battletech apparel is that 9/10 times, it plugs itself. I absolutely hate self-plug shirts. I have no interest in parading the name of a website or company around on the back of a shirt.
What is more, is that most Battletech merch has all the fashion forwardness of "Three wolf Moon" - I would be glad to wear battletech merchandise if, you know, it wasn't tacky as heck.

But I have developed a nasty habit of referring to sprained ankles and pulled muscles as actuator damage!
And cursed my lack of double heat sinks during the hot summer.
... and sometimes I just walk like a robot for the heck of it. @_@

On the internet side this has been my constant avatar for the past 10 or so years -
(Soz - big version from my gmail account) - I always incorporate it into any image sigs I create.
Not much that I'm still clan proud.

For all my ******** and moaning about the people of World of Tanks, at least people there know what the hell my screen name is.

I also made a Cameron Cross pendant out of silver for a class once. It got a good grade (even after I was obliged to explain the source material), but the angles were sort of off, so I never really wore it.
Also I've been thinking of painting the DS logo on a shirt, or possibly just going whole hog and making a banner of it. What can I say, I'm addicted to making my own nerdy stuff.
