DRB Merchandise Submissions Needed

Ever want to show your friends you know what FIP means without having to interact with them socially? How about showing you knew about a certain Jurassic deity before it became cool therefore making you cool? Well good news....
RJ and I have been working on some designs to be made available in the near future but instead of creating merchandise based on what we think, perhaps it would be better to ask everyone for ideas.
Keep in mind not every idea is going to get made and we still have control over the design process. This is just a way to get everyone here involved in order to create the best possible merchandise for DRB by DRB.
Having said that, the first design due for print in the near future is the signature "Boo him now" model.
Ideas? Critiques? Credit card numbers?

Before anyone asks.
We’re looking at ~20 bucks per t-shirt. I tried finding the best possible deal for everyone involved.

Yes and Yes
Make sure the shirts are high quality, it is worth the extra 5 bucks. No haynes bs.

Seriouspost: Oh and btw aren't you at least partially subsidized by DRO?
I mean not like they do anything more than maybe help with hosting fees but arent you like officially sanctioned for some things? Maybe I can help you parlay that into some liberal licensing usage since I know which attorney to ask about that. I can dash off a quick letter on your behalf with any proposed ideas to see if I can smooth the process.

Sabermetrically Inclined T-Shirts
would be awesome and I would most definatley consider shelling out 20$ for one. While I like the premise, I don’t know if I want to own a shirt where I know I’m going to need to explain to people what sarcasm is…

I love the fact that he bitched about getting banned then when it was lifted he hasn't come back.

I probably would pay $20 for a t-shirt, but not that one.

What about T-shirts that aren't "center-graphic" style?
I wonder how Zazzle handles those….

All my t-shirts have obsceneities and/or racial epithets on them
You would have to include one to get me on board

I had thought about that....
wouldn’t it be copyright infringement or some kind?

I'll buy a shirt if it is tag-less. I don't like tags.

I like that design
but I wish it was more obvious, ya know?

What's copyright infringement and what isn't?
I know Smack apparel skirts that line…
If not, how about the Obama BJ picture… with or without Black Jesus under it…

I didn't take that picture of BJ. So I can't use it.

How about that pic on the front with something like "The Day the Season Turned Around"
And on the back we could have the entire proposed speech.

Longo smacking erin andrews on the ass
BOSSMAN and Justin doing dishes or mowing the lawn or something bortherly.

I just want a picture of BJ, maybe at bat or in the field
and underneath, in plain black text, “BLACK JESUS”

How about him laying out for one in the field with "BLACK JESUS"
and on the back have the “Boo Him Now” pic from the original post.

This.
Would be awsome. I would buy. I bet it would offend overly sensitive black people, and the bible thumpers though.

Seriouspost
Suggestion 1:
Take the Draysbay logo on the front
and on the back put:
“the search for objective knowledge about awesome”
with like a silhoutte of longo smashing a dinger or something.

Front: WHY IS THIS MAN SMILING? with following photo:
or just a cutout of his head with HAHAHA OH WOW circling it.

I also think it would be a good idea to incorporate the DRB logo into a shirt...
with the tagline “progressive statistical analysis and reasoned argument.” It could help attract more members to the site.
by nolesblogger on May 19, 2009 9:15 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I like this idea
And on the back, “HA HA HA DISREGARD THAT I SUCK C*CKS”
I would buy, but never wear a shirt like this.

Recd but noles blogger has a good generic idea
Logo plus tagline
And on back put
RAYSMETRICS: "the search for objective knowledge about awesome"
Or maybe just the cutout smiling heads heads of BJ, CC, MVB, Longo, and Pena with:
DRAYSBAY: AWESOME LIVES HERE

You know honestly, I've never liked the tagline. It sounds too much like a mission statement.
I understand it on the site, not so much on a shirt.

It's a simple explanation of what the site is
So that when people see it on the shirt they aren’t completely clueless.

You're going to instigate questions
Which turns you into a pitchman, and having to explain to every Tom-Dick-and-Harry in the grocery line what the hell ‘progressive statistical analysis and reasoned argument’ means is a pain in the ass.

If you don't think this would happen btw
I stopped wearing this shirt because I got sick and tired of people asking me where this school was located.

I understand this
If someone asks then I would have no problem telling them about the site. I’m not saying the shirt should only have the DRB logo and tagline, cause that would be boring. I just think it would be good to put on the back of some of the shirts if there are no other things to go on the back. I don’t think we should make a shirt centered around this idea, but I’m not a big fan of shirts with a big graphic on the front and nothing on the back. Also if it’s on the back then you can start to act like you don’t hear people asking about it if it becomes a problem. Either way I plan on getting some of these shirts so this isn’t a deal breaker for me by any means.

What if we listed the opening day 25 man roster on the back
with draysbay and the logo on the front

You could use 2008's (below) there isn't a way to show them all on one screen, but maybe the HT boys could help out
It would be pretty sweet to roll one out every year for the next 8 years to keep track of how many he has.

Picture of Longoria:

Longoria, Garza, Bartlett and Pena
This is a winner right here. I’d buy this and wear it.

I like the proposed idea of the "boo him now" shirt
And I’d definitely be up for purchasing drb stuff. The idea of having the logo on there somewhere would be pretty cool.
