joebabyny Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hey guys, gime your thoughts. I didn't have much to work with as it was a small low rez crummy camphone pic. Gonna speak to my screenprinter tomorrow. Would you buy one? I'll probably donate a buck or 2 from each sale to the Leukemia Lymphoma society. EDIT,here's a final shirt. Your thoughts please.

RutgersJetFan Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 To be honest it'd be money with just the picture and nothing else. The lettering kinda makes it look cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebabyny Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 To be honest it'd be money with just the picture and nothing else. The lettering kinda makes it look cheap. well, cheap and trashy is kinda the look i was going for, i mean, its a guy giving the finger, lol. Thanks for the input, lets see how this thread goes tomorrow and I'll rework if thats the general consensus. I just think the meaning of the shirt wil be lost on a lot of people if it doesn't reference miami, and I didn't want to write f##k on it because who is gonna wear that,and they won't let you in the stadium with that i think.

villain_the_foe Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I'd buy one. You just have to have a 4X. Im a big guy. As for the shirt itself, its a good look. Very homebrew feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i love the distressed look with the fades. I made a second option as per the first reply, gonna gauge interest to figure out which to go with. What do you think. And no worries, I will make sure to have 4x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 well, cheap and trashy is kinda the look i was going for, i mean, its a guy giving the finger, lol. Exactly, that's the humor behind it. What I meant was that the lettering cheapens the funny, not the shirt. Words aren't necessary for that one. Not to mention that it also broadens the usefulness of the shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klecko73isGod Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Can we now officially refer to the middle finger as the "Rex?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visajets Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Id buy 2 if the green is the JETS green and the hand had an arm attached to it. I dont like the sepeartion it looks photochopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 No offense bro, but its just not for me. I'm actually embarrassed that Rex did that... because NOW his low-brow antics are going to over-shadow his football acumen and accomplishments all off-season. It was a stupid thing to do. Head coaches are like CEO's... would you want the CEO of your company doing something like that? No way. I like Rex's "just one of the guys" approach... however, there has to be a point where that ends and he becomes a dignified figurehead for this organization.

To each his own I think "jets suck suck suck" or "f##k the pats" or the "jets suck and pats swallow" shirts are crude, low class, and really just boring and uncreative.

I think Rex stands for a lot of good things. Aggressive, hard nosed football, not backing down, never being afraid. But I wouldn't wear that shirt personally. I don't think what he did was terrible but if he is suspending players (David Clowney) for their actions off the field (twitter) then Rex needs to adhere to his own standards.

Scott Dierking Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I don't know who would actually spend money or put one of those shirts on in public. Actually, there is a percentage of every fandom that thinks it is either cute, or comical. No fan base is immune. My take is if you need to exploit another franchise in a vulgar way, you may not have enough for your own franchise to crow about. When the Jets win the SB, I will buy my T-shirt with you. As long as you clear it with NFL properties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think what he did was terrible but if he is suspending players (David Clowney) for their actions off the field (twitter) then Rex needs to adhere to his own standards. Meh, I don't think Clowney speaking out in public crying about his playing time or talking negatively about how the team is being run is in the same category as what rex did in the off season in a crowd where some douche happened to get him with a camphone. It isn't like rex went and shot a tweetpic and broadcast it to the world or did it on a sideline during the game or in a presser. But I do think him standing in a stadium in a heated rival town full of dips##t miami fans heckling him and him laughing and not backing down and giving it back isn't so far from the attitude he has set with this team from his speeches when first coming here. Is it appropriate, no, is it a bad example for kids, yeah i guess so. But lets be honest,with these kids all over the internet, and with shows like Jersey Shore and all the reality tv garbage, is rex and a middle finger he flashed when he thought he wasn't on camera really the worst thing? No. Besides, you can't deny that this spices up the jets/fins rivalry even more, which is good for both fins and jets fans. And whatever max, I'm trying to raise money for charity and a new tailgatejoe grill. Tv appearances on TLC don't pay as much as you think they would, lol.

I'll be honest, that one's kinda funny, i chuckled for a second.Not that I would wear something that had swear words, but at least it is just talking about his own team.
