MGoShirt Alert – Day One

Submitted by Six Zero on

“THE ABILITY TO DESTROY A PLANET IS INSIGNIFICANT
NEXT TO THE POWER OF… THE FORCIER!"

This is the first entry of the 2009 MGoShirt Alert , a design project that
will enable MgoBlog readers to vote for upcoming designs in the brand spankin’ new MGoBlogStore.  To reach the store, click here.  To read
more about exactly what MGoShirt Alert is and will be about, click here.

MGoShirt 1 - The Forcier

For our first entry, I simply HAD to go with the current tagline of MGoBlog—a shout-out to the poise and talent of our new quarterback, not to mention the nigh-insurmountable pressure that we’ve all placed on his young shoulders.  While quite simple in style, this shirt actually evolved quite a bit before settling on this final design.  This final rendition hopefully captures the essence of the joke while clearly identifying one single player on our team.  Unless, of course, you presume that  it’s Vlad Emilien… but that’s another story for another post.

So, time to vote!  What do you guys think?

What do you think of MgoShirt #1?
Five Stars Four Stars Three Stars Two Stars One Star   


***** Five Stars:  I MUST OWN THIS SHIRT RIGHT NOW!

**** Four Stars:  Looks good—you just missed touching the GO BLUE banner!

*** Three Stars:  Not bad—but does it come in Zoltan??  (PS- NO, it doesn’t.)

** Two Stars:  Meh.

* One Star:  I wouldn’t wish this shirt on Mark Dantonio’s pet turtle.  Yikes.

Keep in mind that the design will not actually appear this large on an actual shirt-- I made all designs occupy most of the shirt space just to give everyone as good a view of the art as possible.  That shirt graphic is also probably not anatomically accurate in the first place.

So place your votes, ladies and gentlemen, and feel free to add any comments below.  I’m not likely to change the design unless Brian himself steps in on behalf of the community, but certainly anyone can feel free to speak your mind.  I’ll be revealing another shirt tomorrow, and one every day for the next three weeks (not counting the weekends), so I’ll see you all tomorrow for another exciting round of – MGoShirt Alert!!

Since you hinted at one for Vlad, I'm just going to be brutally honest: Don't waste your time with any individual player ideas that don't involve Zoltan or Graham. I don't think anyone is too interested in buying shirts promoting players who have yet to see game action. I mean, what if you had put out shirts last year with "Feagin's Gang" and some cute Dickensian image? People today would be stuck with a shirt that would be unwearable except at East Lansing or Columbus costume parties.

The calling card of this blog is UFR. Any ideas for incorporating that into a t-shirt? Maybe B Graham bursting through a line with +1's flying everywhere? Or say "Upon further review, we ARE the best." or not. that is a stupid idea. Unrelated: Any shirt can have "Up in back" written on the back. Or a big target that says "I bet you're too old to hit this with a water bottle"

One star. I noticed your shirts don't mention MGoBlog anywhere on them. I was hoping for an MGoBlog shirt to show Brian some love, but something cool to wear on game-days. Why not "MGoBlog - the Premier Michigan Football Community" on the front with the team sched on the back? Make Brian a cool logo for MGoBlog, slap it on a shirt, and sell it. Other than that, I show my player appreciation by buying jerseys, and team appreciation by buying Michigan t-shirts. I mean, if you could print on top quality t-shirts, I'd buy a straight blue with maize number (front, back, sleeves) of my fave players. MGoBlog where the Adidas logo normally is. Solid.
