Marketing manager Geraint Evans explains:
The BlazBlue merchandise available on the Zen-United store (http://store.blazbluegame.com) has been hugely popular - not just in Europe, but internationally’
Fans will be able to vote for their favorite t-shirt designs on the website. The 3 designers that get the most votes will receive a limited edition copy of BB: CS as well as have their design mass produced and sold via the Zen-United store. Hit the break for the rest of the details on this exciting test of creativity and skill.
