Offiically licensed LSU stuff on the way as well.  GEAUX TIGERS!

1st Officially Licensed Shirt Coming Soon?!!?

So I'll make a quick semi-annual blog post here.  I've messed around with actual LSU shirts in the past, but just never bit the bullet and went through the formal process to do them.  Until now.  Thanks to my friends at Highland & State, I'll be coming out with a vintage version of the following on white and athletic grey:

And a possible slew of some of these others:

Stay tuned! 

St. Patrick's Day Shirts

Boom. Two designs this year, welcome to 2011 people.

After the thrashing we gave the Aggies in the Cotton Bowl, my attention and focus immediately turned to what could perhaps be the biggest T-Shirt holiday of the year in St. Patrick's Day. Since this whole SbG operation started in 2008 accidentally as we prepared for the parade in Baton Rouge and our party at 3152 Perkins, it is required (by me) that I offer a shirt each year. Due to legal issues and my desire to constantly reinvent the ultra-exclusive Shirts by Guy t-shirt line (or the fact that I just want to make new crap), the 2008 St. Pat's shirt design will never be printed again.

This is a PRE-ORDER, so the shirts will ship in a few weeks. You will have them in your hand well before March 17 I assure you. Email me with any questions or praises, but please no more complaining about the women's fit shirts.

Like always, PLEASE forward to any and every Tiger fan you know since this is a whole grassroots campaign I have going here. Get festive, buy some shirts.

Remember, flat-rate shipping of $5, whether you order 1 shirt or 21 shirts.  Designs will be printed on American Apparel Kelly Green Unisex 50/50 shirts that fit similarly to the model of previous years but much softer.  If you are a fan on facebook, then you are privy to certain discount codes and deals, so if you aren't do yourself a favor and go rent Social Network and learn how to become a fan of Shirts by Guy.

 

Blog by Guy HTML Experiment: TCU Nike Pro-Combat Uniform Revealed

So, this is just an experiment.  A few of my buddies went to TCU and get all worked up over football uniforms, so one of them is going to the presentation in NYC of the new Nike Pro-Combat Uniforms they will be wearing on Saturday vs. Oregon State.  So, here is the live presentation or something?  There will be a live video feed from 10AM EST to 1PM EST today September 1, 2010.  I don't really know the details. He just sent out all these nerdy codes, so I'm really just seeing how well I can work the interweb.  I'm more of a traditionalist when it comes to uniforms, so TCU's amphibian pants don't really do it for me.  Give me classic purple and gold uniforms with leather helmets every day of the week.  Also, I don't really follow JV football, so I'm not that familiar the Horned Frogs squad this year.

Side note: LSU vs UNC kick-off at 8PM EST in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta this Saturday.  Get ready!

Thanks Landon; Thanks Isner; Thanks Italy....Wait, No

Way to show up, Italy.  Defending freaking champs.  Well played, well played.  We've got two no-name tennis players playing 47 straight hours of competitive tennis, and y'all can't muster 90 minutes of solid team play?  These guys have absolutely nothing left, truly leaving it all on the court.  One dude is a 7 ft behemoth.  I mean, imagine just living a normal life at that freakish size, it would be exhausting.  But he somehow manages to use adrenaline and put his heart on the line and play tennis for 11 hours till he somehow won the match.  Did anyone care who won at that point?  No.  The effort and guts displayed will be remembered forever.  I wish I could say the same for Italy.

You may ask.....You're American Guy, why do you care so much?  Well, you know, when I was creating World Cup shirts, I kinda focused on the teams I positively knew were going through to the Round of 16, and the highly seeded defending champions looked to be a sound investment.  The longer the team is playing, the more momentum they pick up, more and more fans are going to go crazy, therefore buying more of their shirts.  It's T-Shirt Sales 101 people.  But, I should have listened to my friends.  Like my buddy always says, "Never lie down with an Italian because they'll crap the bed."  Or something like that.  Well, I'm at her place right now lying in a big freaking mess.

Big discount people, get these Italy shirts out of my sight.  I'm pretty sure American Apparel sells these blanks for like $20, and you can get them with a cool "Italy" graphic on them for half that.  Yep, $10.  Don't be embarrassed to wear it.  Just tell people it's a 2006 World Cup Champion commemorative t-shirt!

Don't let this overshadow the reedonkulous Landon Donovan stoppage time goal to send us from packing our bags to winning our Group.  In my lifetime, only 3 or 4 truly American moments in sports really stick out in my memory.  In random order, Michael Phelps 8 Gold Medals in Beijing (the relay comeback to be more specific), President W throwing out the 1st pitch after 9/11 in the World Series at Yankee Stadium (from the rubber mind you), Donovan's goal on Wednesday, and the 2002 LSU Football Spring Game.

And, Wednesday was just another typical American day.  First, Landon Donovan waits till the last possible minute to accomplish something that could have been done way earlier.  Very American.  Then a seven foot tennis freak, with lungs of infinite capacity, and tireless legs plays for 3 straight days.  Of course, he's American.

Now, GEAUX USA!!!  We play Ghana on Saturday at 230PM EST, so be sure to start drinking well before noon.   Oh, and buy a shirt.

Pretty cool video of the world's reaction to Donovan's goal below.
