They say assumptions make a-holes, but I think it is safe to assume that the Assasin's Creed Monteriggioni hoodie will make it on the wish list of more than a few geeks come this Christmas. This gamer hoodie is made by InsertCoin and is inspired by the game "Assasin's Creed: Brotherhood."
Only the most hardcore of gamers will recognize this hoodie for what it is. Perhaps the biggest giveaway is the small pointed tip designed to look like the hooded cloak worn by the game's main character Ezio. Other nerdy nods include the word "Monteriggioni" on the shirt, which is a nod to the hometown of the game's assassin clan, the logo of said clan and the year 1499, the year the town became the headquarters for the game's assassin clan. The Assasin's Creed Monteriggioni hoodie was made for the game's publisher (Ubisoft) and is only available in InsertCoin's online shop for residents of the U.K. and Ireland.
