We all know that being a nerd is totally cool, going geek is uber-chic and all of that but… 8-bit undies? We can’t decide if we totally love these or think they’re insane, but we had to share them with you the moment we saw them.

Meet, Pixel Panties… aka, every retro gamer’s undergarment dream come true. If only these existed in the era of Weird Science! ;)

The brainchild of Lisbon designers Sebastião Teixeira and Cesaria Martins, this pair of pixelated panties was born after a night of intense video gaming. As they describe:

They’re designed for people like us, who love retro games and 8 bit visuals but couldn’t find a way to make them fashionable and sexy. These panties make that possible.

So there you have it. Currently seeking funding on Indiegogo, these panties are sure to be flying off digital shelves in no time. A pledge of $25 will get you a pair of your very own, and a pledge of $160 will get you 8 pairs in 8 different colors. #8bitbutts
