BGBen. We are fairly limited in terms of the sizing but we can get 3XL if you are interested but we would run that during our pre-sale period (two weeks before we place our shirt order). If we do a Gopher one, we'll be sure to let you know when the pre-sale period is so you can decide if you want to invest in a 3XL.Quote:

Oh, and if you'd like any ideas for Gopher stuff, just fire me an email.
To piggyback on the AJ Barker idea, you could do something about the infamous "mom's best friend" quote. That was priceless.
That is a classic, as are, "I'm a dime a dozen" and "There's nothing special about me?"Quote:

Make a shirt with the silhouette of Nate Poole hauling in a catch on his tip-toes while being pushed out of the endzone, with the letters "NO!!!!" plastered across the front. I'll buy 50.Quote:

I would also not mind paying more for the shirt if you got a trademark license from the Twins/MLB. It would be nice to have something that includes the Twins logo. I wonder what such a license might cost.
I'm a Packers fan and that's back when I actually cared about football. I laughed for hours watching that play over and over again.Quote:

Now if you did hockey you could be onto something...
Yep, I've also looked into it. Not even in the realm of possibility.Quote:

Something like "My favorite college football team is the last team to win 3 consecutive national championships, and my grandpa was 12 when it happened!"Quote:

Who cares what you think about college sports...if you run an ice cream business and don't like chocolate, you still carry it.
College sports sell merchandise, especially a university with 53,000 students located in the middle of a city with a population of 3,317,308
Yeah, that's exactly what I said. You did read the first sentence of my post, right? There were only three sentences in total so I can't see how you would have missed it.Quote:

In all seriousness, Brock and Parker, I'm a bit of a history buff on the Gopher athletics (part of being a tour guide for the school and then a recruiter for the football team along with working for the women's athletics marketing department). If you ever want to go down that road, my email's attached to my profile here, and I'd be more than willing to hammer out some possible ideas. For instance, did you know that the U of M was the school that "invented" cheerleading?
