We have lost blood this week, but as long as the team still breathes… it will continue to fight.  Show me something more dangerous than a cornered wolverine.

We’re back this week with the next round of the MGoShirt 2010 Season Line, as designed by yours truly and produced exclusively by Underground Printing in conjunction with our very own MGoBlog.

As an MGoBlog exclusive, we’re keeping it light today, focusing on perhaps the most highly demanded design from the Michigan faithful.  And, yes, conveniently enough, these very same shirts are immediately available for purchase at the MGoStore!  Remember, the title of every shirt is an active link directly to the catalog entry for that product.  You can shop as soon as you see the shirt if you'd like.

AND the special offer continues today— Buy all 10 shirts (or any 10 shirts - mix and match your favorites) and get them for $150 (25% off!).  MGoStore has also heard your prayers and is now offering multiple shirts in the coveted American Apparel option-- you asked for it, you got it!  Think of it this way— life will go on, and the season is far from a wash.  Show your optimism by wearing a fashionable MGoShirt, and to hell with the naysayers!

Pride is worn on the sleeves of the faithful.  Our shirts have sleeves.
Let’s get to the shirts:

SMASH!

Here it is, people… because YOU demanded it, the Hulk wears #68!!!  MIKE SMASH!!!!  We all know that the Hulk’s shirts always rip into shreds when he hulks out, but thanks to the new performance materials of the Adidas authentic jerseys, he can show his true colors and sport a certain uniform number.
DESIGNER INSIDER:   I originally had an idea to do this shirt on a green background, but it just smelled a little too Sparty.  Obviously the face looks nothing like a certain mammoth defensive lineman, and that’s by design to avoid Imperial entanglements.  That’s the game we have to play,kids.

AU FRANCAIS

Quatre-vingt-quinze.  Today's featured athlete on CTK, but Renaldo was not the first.  First Alain Kashama wore the number, and made it proud.  I envision a day when the #95 jersey will hold a certain stigma of honor not unlike the legendary #1 jersey, one that will be expressly reserved for large Quebecor defensive tackles from the great white north.
DESIGNER INSIDER:   Tried to keep it simple.  I think the last time I used Vivaldi was on my wedding invitations.  Bizarre.

 

This next shirt, sadly but obviously, has been put on hold...

T-WOLF

This shirt was desi—ah, no.  No.  STOP.
I just can’t… I don’t wanna talk about it.  This… it's still a little painful and raw and fresh.  I’m legitimately thinking about doing a shirt that touches on what happened, but we’ll see where that pans out.  Above all else I want to be respectful to Troy-- what bothers me is that so many of us, myself included, think of what this means to the team, rather than to the player himself.  Imagine how he must feel.
DESIGNER INSIDER:  Maybe we can just throw his dog in the #29, and no one will notice the difference?

Two weeks, kids.  Sure, this week hurt… but the season is coming.  All I can suggest is to think about what Bo would say about this week.  There was no crying in your beer when the ol' general was around, so why should we start now.  Pick up your head, buy a shirt, wear it with pride, and remember your allegiance to the Michigan Wolverines.  And don’t forget—if you’re interested in loading up your closet with some high quality MGoApparel, UGP has made it possible with the MGoShirt Alert special offer:  Simply go to the store and put 10 shirts into your cart, and the special offer will take the discount off for you!
