MGoShirt Alert, 2011 Edition
It's that time of year again, kids-- the boys are in camp, the hype is reaching meltdown status, and we're just a few weeks away from that most glorious time of the year known as football season. We've also been given a great boost of Hoke hope this year, so it's certainly understandable that we're feeling a little optimistic that this year might be a little different.
Amen to that.
So I'm sure some of you are in need of some new gear, and what better than a new batch of MGoShirts for the whole family before the Western game in two weeks! Featuring the finest quality apparel, MGoShirts are designed only for the most ravenous and dedicated community here at MGoBlog. They also help a certain newlywed put bacon on the table, so remember that every shirt you buy is a contribution towards the site you love.
But enough of the sales pitch! Onto the latest shirts for 2011:
MANBALL
You know what kind of play the new coach is all about, and so will everyone else when you sport this new tee. Now available in Offense and Defense. No, not really-- but you can wear this shirt and identify yourself as a true Hoke supporter.
HAHA TSIO
The most famous Schadenfreude of the cartoon world, now in convenient maize and blue and ridiculing something known as TSIO, whatever the heck that is. And yes, if you look closely, he is indeed wearing his own 'WORST STATE EVER' MGoShirt. My personal fave of the MGoShirts this year.
THE DAY THE CLOUDS PARTED
Remember that day? It was a Tuesday, and most of us were still reacting--some revelling, some reviling-- to the hire of Brady Hoke, when out of the blue we learn that he's miraculously pulled away RAY LEWIS's own Defensive Coordinator. Whether you consider yourself a conspiracy theorist or not, it's hard to argue with the meme around here that everything turned around the day Greg Mattison was hired.
UNVERIFIED VORACITY
Brian Cook, in two succinct words. I could wring that photographer's neck for not getting one of these on our fearless leader, but that's another story. You wear your love of Michigan on your sleeve, and now you can do the same for your loyalty to the premiere Michigan sports online community.
HALOL
1. HALOL
A happy laugh out loud, either because of your extreme joy at a situation, a lot of fortunate turns of events leading to happiness. Can be used ironically.
Alex: I just pre-ordered black ops, HALOL.
Caitlin: HALOL, the funniest thing just happened at church!

CUE THE MUPPETS
Not quite as new, but still a part of the 2011 line is the famous "CUE THE MUPPETS" shirt. It's a well known fact that anytime the Muppets show up on MGoBlog, it usually means that something really good just happened on a UM field, court, or rink.
Dear Jesus, let us see many Muppets this fall. And leave our DBs alone. Amen.
Very exciting times to be a Michigan man-- don't get caught without the proper team gear, AND remember that September 2nd is once again National College Colors Day.
All shirts are available now in sizes S-2XL and in stock only at the MGoStore.
Order yours today to ensure delivery by the opening game. And on behalf of myself, the MGoStore, and Brian.... GO BLUE!!!!

Love the "Master of Muppets" font, too. Nice touch.

about a BEAT OHIO! shirt? That would be something I would by multiply (to quote Coach Hoke)
August 20th, 2011 at 2:08 PM ^
The University hasn't come up with a shirt that replicates the "Years... championships... Beat...." speech yet. Maybe they should try and beat the AD to the punch. Hoke was even nice enough not to use the "State" part so no one can complain about using "Ohio".

How about one that says "I will trade you this shirt for a tattoo." If you wanted to get real clever, you could sell one in red and gray and see if anyone gets it. It would be perfect for wearing in C-bus too.

"East Lansing is a woman of negotiable affection" t-shirt. GRRRR.
I'll take that a couple ManBalls but can't find the east lansing shirt.
August 19th, 2011 at 8:29 PM ^
I was hoping for a "Fierce Pragmatist" shirt, but since the clans are united, no need.
August 20th, 2011 at 9:42 AM ^
Where is the no SHHHHHH zone?
Would put the store on the map.......
August 19th, 2011 at 11:41 PM ^
Bring back voting!
This round could have used it.
August 20th, 2011 at 7:40 AM ^
How about one with Hoke on the front pointing and in quotations "Tremendous ".
August 20th, 2011 at 10:06 AM ^
SixZero, How about something more directly MGoBlog related, like just a MGoBlog logo (like my avatar) on a white or gray shirt? Or maybe the banner from the web page?
It seems like that would be a more direct and effective advertisement for the site (and would avoid having to explain UV or the muppets).
August 20th, 2011 at 11:12 AM ^
Doh! That'll learn me to not scroll down.
Sold.
August 20th, 2011 at 11:44 AM ^
UV shirt is nice... might have to pick that one up
August 20th, 2011 at 8:27 PM ^
August 21st, 2011 at 11:16 AM ^
I vote for a Tremendous shirt with a Hoke's hand and his finger pointing. Maybe a This is Michigan shirt.
