Step Out in Style – ArcFest & ArcOpen Limited Edition T-Shirts Now Available!

We’ve got something special for all our ArcFest and ArcOpen fans this year — limited edition event T-shirts to help you step out in style and show your support for the best hobby celebration in the Melbourne so far this year!

For the first time, we’re offering two exclusive designs:

The ArcFest 2025 T-shirt has been available to order with any Tournament, event or General Admission ticket purchase.

The brand-new ArcOpen 2025 T-shirt, designed by Hunter, a talented graphic design student currently studying at TAFE, and daughter of ArcOpen organiser Andrew.

“We wanted something more detailed than our regular logos. Frankly, they are great for all the other places we find them - social media, signage, awards, certificates averything… But when we were offered the opportunity to do an exclusive T-shirt by Inkstone we really wanted to have something more detailed - a little bit special.

“When Hunter heard that I needed something that would look WOW - well she talked to me about themes, colour palette and imagery - it was important that something representing ArcOpen be the base for the design. That’s when we agreed that the ArcOpen three paint splat logo and the Crowned Skull would be the the best place to start.

“I hope you agree that it’s a very eye catching design Hunter has come up with and acknowledges the Gold,Silver and Bronze awards participants will be aiming to achieve at the event. “

By choosing to wear it you’re not just showing support for our event. You’ll also be giving recognition to someone starting out in their design career.

Both shirts are available by pre-order ad will be available to Pick-up at ArcFest — but here’s the catch - Orders must be placed before 22 April.

No late orders... If you want one guaranteed in your shape and size, then make it official!

Where to Order

Shirts will be available to order through ArcScore — the same site where you can still grab your ArcFest tickets if you haven’t already. Once the T-shirt portal goes live, you’ll be able to:

• Select your preferred design ArcFest or ArcOpen

It’s the first time we’ve made merchandise available separately - but you’ll need to be paid up and going to ArcFest so that you will be able to pick it up 3 May at ArcFest.
