Nothing Says Playa Like a Blog T-Shirt

People, we have shirts. I'm having them done through Zazzle.com (which I've heard is considerably better than CafePress.com) and they are $18.36 + ~$4.50 shipping through January 7th, after which they'll be $22.95 plus shipping.

The design is the logo on the front and "PoundingTheRock.com" in small letters on the top of the back of the shirt. I intended for the shirt to only be sold in black for now, but you cannot restrict the sales to just one color. So if you want a kelly green PtR shirt then here's your chance!

Let me know if you want a specific quote on the back of the shirt. I'll allow pretty much anything, but it does have to be approved through me first. Either post your request here or email me, but please don't waste my time unless you really are going to buy it, mmmkay? Personally, the back of my shirt will read "Verbally fellating Manu Ginobili since 2005."

For the record, Stampler and I will be splitting $1.80 for every shirt sold. Also, here's a fair warning: I am totally making out with the first person I see wearing this shirt in public.

Represent!

Re: Nothing Says Playa Like a Blog T-Shirt

Thank you Matthew, thank you so very much. I want to get 2, but i need help with the quote on the back, since I'm not sure you'll approve my first 2 choices
(For the record, right now they are:
"hoping Avery Johnson gets mouth herpes since 2007" and
"Because Amare sucks on D" But I am very drunk right now...)

So does anyone have any cool ideas for back o shirt quotes?

I want shirts Matthew!!

Re: Nothing Says Playa Like a Blog T-Shirt

I am fine with either of those quotes. Basically anything I would let you write on PtR I will let you write on a PtR shirt.

As for additional ideas, there's a memorable quotes section on the right sidebar.

Pure idiocy that lacks even a tenuous relationship to the real world I have to deal with EVERY FUCKING DAY.

Only at Pounding the Rock could the monotonous circle-jerk that is the Spurs be so eloquently glorified.

I know Tony had 8 assists but I think that was the worst game I've seen him play since Pop stopped tearing his head off 5x a game. Something must have been up. He looked full of ennui and other French words.

Of course we should probably get the permission of the authors of those quotes before smacking them on a shirt.

Re: Nothing Says Playa Like a Blog T-Shirt

i'm totally down for a t-shirt. what's the deal with the quotes? do we come to a consensus or is it a per-shirt thing? i need help too, but i do know it has to have a recognition of manu's unheralded greatness, and use at least two of ptr.com's fantastic nicknames (read: there's NO WAY "frenchie mcwonderbutt" is NOT on the shirt.)

Re: Nothing Says Playa Like a Blog T-Shirt

No consensus is necessary. I can make a million different shirts, each with a different quote. Or you can buy it as is, without any quote. It doesn't even have to be a quote. You could do:

Starring:
Frenchie McWonderbutt
The Sickness
Timmeh
The Gingerhead Man

Pretty much whatever you want. Except I have to approve it. But I'll pretty much approve anything that isn't racist, sexist or sexual-orientationist.

"When nothing seems to help, I go look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before."

is that too long?

Re: Nothing Says Playa Like a Blog T-Shirt

I can't believe I didn't think of that!

Here's the shirt. You tell me if the quote's too long.

Re: Nothing Says Playa Like a Blog T-Shirt

Is large the only size they have available? Would I be able to get a medium size with the Jacob Riis quote on the back?

Re: Nothing Says Playa Like a Blog T-Shirt

It looks like they're currently sold out of medium sized black classic fit shirts (I don't know when they'll be getting more in but I would think soon). They have medium in the dark gray and medium in the black American Apparel which features a tighter fit.
