The $10 t-shirt deal of the day over at RIPT Apparel is a mash-up of Star Wars and Iron Maiden called “The Trooper” by Mark Welser.

The sale at RIPT began today, Thursday, March 1, 2012, at midnight CST, and will continue for 24 hours from then, and once it’s over, it will not be sold on the site anymore.

The t-shirt is available in men’s and women’s sizes for $10 each in black. Kids sizes are $15 (Boys, Girls, and Toddler in black); Onesies are $18 (in black). You can also get the design on a Hoodie for $38 (in Men/Unisex sizes in black).

Here’s what the artist had to say about this design:

As a lifelong fan of both Star Wars and Iron Maiden, I just kinda felt this was too perfect of a combination to pass up and I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else do it.

I agree! Awesome combination, can’t believe I’ve never seen it done before. But, this is a must-buy. So perfect.

What do you think of this design?
