Each December I look back at the year that was and find the Boosterrific.com posts that garnered the most attention.

Number three on this year's countdown of most popular posts was this fine piece of (unlicensed) apparel I showed you in September:

As you can see, it's a good looking design. But the best part is hiding inside.

Say hello to my little friend:

It's Skeets! Without a doubt, this hoodie is the very definition of Boosterrific!

We'll continue the countdown on Wednesday.

From a branding standpoint, the biggest problem with Booster Gold's costume is that it's awfully hard to trademark a simple 5-pointed star polygon. While that's bad for Goldstar International, it's good for people who want to sell unlicensed Booster Gold t-shirts.

Those are shirts available on RedBubble.com, a website devoted to allowing independent artists to merchandise their work. Hmm. Some of those pieces sure do look awfully similar to work owned by DC Comics.

Be careful, artists. While Booster might own the hearts (and wallets) of his fans, DC Comics owns him. American intellectual property and copyright laws allow some leeway for commentary and craftsmen, but they're specifically designed to prevent you from making money selling someone else's idea. If you want to sell a shirt referencing Booster Gold, be clever about it.

Or just sell a t-shirt with a star on it. There's not a lot anyone can do about that.

Over the weekend, Mr. Chaos announced the end of his CW-inspired Booster Gold television show fan fiction. It wasn't canceled for low ratings, but because of a writers' strike (of sorts).

As a writer myself, I know how hard it can be to write long form fiction. I want to thank Chaos for his attempt at giving Booster Gold fans a product that television has, so far, denied us. Give yourself a hand!

If you haven't read his attempt at an Arroverse Booster Gold television series, you can still find it in the Boosterrific Forum.

This is the official week to be thankful, and chief on my list of things to be thankful for right now is this fantastic bit of fan art by professional illustrator Sean Von Gorman.

You can find more of Gorman's work on the cover of Kiss #1 from Dynamite Comics, as well as DeviantArt.com and Twitter (as @VonGormanArt).

Today's fan art comes to us by way of Celebrenithil.

I hope you like it some, despite it maybe being too gimmicky or crowded — but hey! I got the collar back, and that's the hallmark of a good BG costume, no? :P

Of course, Celebrenithil redesigned Blue Beetle, too. You can see it at celebrenithil.tumblr.com.
