"Worst State Ever" Shirt at the Airport

"Ron Artest Wants to Punch Your Mother" shirt

Thanks for the story! I love that shirt...

that is all

I wore mine at a couple different parks while at Disney World a couple months ago. I heard people laughing out loud around me and I even had some Buckeyes come up to and want to take a picture with me because I had it on.

'Tis an epic shirt.

Great story. General rule is to always wear your Michigan gear when traveling outside of Michigan for those of us residents. And for those living out of the state always show your pride: flags, block M sticker on the car, shirts to the gym, go blue!

When I wear it where ever I am traveling I always hear people shouting "Go Blue". Even in the airport in Rome, I heard it from people wearing other schools gear. The Maize and Blue is always recognized.

Mind you, this is in Montana.

Your comment implies that Montana's inferiority to Ohio is implicit. I suggest to you that Montana has mountains, snow, clean air, and is an awesome place to ski and hike. Ohio is, well, Ohio. The accuracy of your T-shirt is absolute. The Montanian was correct to acknowledge it.

I don't think I've ever worn the shirt and been out in public and not at least gotten one comment.

One of my personal favorites was while I was with my girlfriend at Foot Locker (in Atlanta, mind you) and she asked to try on some Nike Shox. The dude wouldn't go get them until "your boyfriend leaves the store with that hideous shirt on", because apparently his Buckeye feelings were hurt. Naturally, she laughed and walked out and we went next door to Foot Action, bought the $120 shoes, then went back to Foot Locker to show him the commission he missed out on for being a little bitch.

I saw one at Sinclair CC in Dayton, Ohio

to purchase several "Worst State" t-shirts and covertly hang and leave them on racks in shops along the Ohio Turnpike. Who wants to buy a Cleveland Browns shirt anyway now that Braylon isn't there anymore?

Funny you mention that glorious shirt. Right as I was walking out of Central's Student Rec center I saw someone walking in with it on going to go work out. Gave me a little chuckle...

I wore mine to a Cardinals baseball game last summer - one of my brothers is a broker for Wells Fargo and he scored the company suite for a family reunion weekend. So we stayed late after the game and were virtually the last group of bodies leaving the stadium. Walking out, the security guard at the exit sees my shirt and yells "Go Blue" and smiles. Awesome. . . . .

Yeah, alot of people ask me about what state it is when I wear the "Worst State Ever" shirt; guess no one pays attention to geography class anymore...

Disney World and waiting to get on a ride when another guy about my age struck up a conversation about Roller Coasters. I talked to him about how my family went to Cedar Point just about every summer. He asked where Cedar Point was (I think he was from Colorado) and I replied "Ohio". His response.....wait for it...."where I'm from we call it 'Iowa'". I was like 14 at the time and realized I met the dumbest person in the world.

I've gotten some other fun comments from the same shirt. A woman in North Carolina told me I wasn't very nice after I told her it was Ohio. I don't she understood my reasoning when I explained I was from Michigan.

Alternately, I wore mine to the Big Ten Bar Crawl in Boston recently. I had nine teams who loved it and one team who tentatively admitted they thought it was funny. One demanded I take a picture with her.

I have 2 T-shirts that I wear that cause some good reactions.
1. I have a shirt that says "I Will Mess With Texas". I wore this in Texas. It was awesome and I didn't get shot.
2. I was on of the lucky ones to buy the t-shirt with Bo as a Che Guevera type silhoutte. I wear that to games a lot and get great feedback.

I met a rare native gringo working as a cabbie in Costa Rica who asked me about my shirt and what state it represented. He then mentioned his father was from Kansas, which led to a debate about whether Ohio could possibly be worse than Kansas. Surprisingly neither of us had ever actually been to Ohio, but we agreed that Kansas thoroughly sucked, and if Ohio was indeed worse it must be a truly terrible place.

Wore 'Tressel Drinks Wine Coolers' to a bar on High Street in Columbus the Friday night before the 2006 game. Every person, seriously every one of them, thought it was funny if they said anything at all. I was shocked, but also (honestly) impressed.

My friends and I had some custom shirts made for the MSU game last year. Ironically enough, most of the UM people thought it was hilarious and a lot of the MSU people didn't understand what it meant. It reaffirmed a lot of beliefs I had developed throughout my life.

I have the same shirt but it might be a slightly newer model. It actually says "Ohio" along the bottom. That's a little embarrassing when you have to spell it out.

Anyway, it's poker night at my house. I'm playing with a Spartan and a few Nittany Lions. I'll have to break that shirt out. I'm sure that they'll enjoy it.

I also live in Raleigh. I'll look for you and your shirt at RDU sometime.

I have a t-shirt with a bride and groom cutting their wedding cake with, "Big Mistake" written underneath it. Something similar to this but it is yellow and black.

Try wearing your Michigan jersey to the Ohio State fair. I got quite a few dirty looks and rude gestures...

Always wear my Michigan gear when I head down to Ohio. Last year I was at Kalahari, which is this indoor water park down in Sandusky, and I went to Walmart to get some food or something. As I'm checking out, the dude working there asks me, "Who dunked you in a bottle of gunk?" It's funny because he was 25 or so and working at Walmart.

my wife wears the "Worst State Ever" on Casual Fridays to work at the county building and she gets more shit than if you wore a swastika to the Hirschbaum bris. Once had a client actually walk out without finishing her welfare application after my wife told her it was Ohio on the shirt... maybe this is a way to bring the deficit in check?

Best though is I make custom onesies for my new daughter with the ol' iron on t-shirt transfers... Made one for the Notre Dame game that said "God Loves Me" with the "M" in the block M style and the score of the game below. Priest at my church who's a BC grad loved it when he saw it on her in the communion line.

I wore mine to Disney World over the Thanksgiving break. I got plenty of stares and positive comments (some negative as well). The shirt really is a great conversation starter.

I also wore it to the UM/MSU game at Crisler. Sat next to a die hard Buckeyes fan. We jawed back and forth during the game about UM's recent struggles and OSU's recent success. Needless to say, I love the shirt!

My "Charlie Weis Should Probably Eat Less" T-Shirt.

I've had at least 10 people ask me where I purchased it.

There's nothing like making fun of the morbidly obese to break the ice.

I've also had a similar experience when traveling with my shirt on. A few weeks ago I wore my Worst State Ever t-shirt and had tons of people in the Boston airport just stare at me blankly, wondering if it was West Virginia (until of course, I was approached by a few men decked out in Michigan gear who quickly corrected them).

If you're flying somewhere alone and like to be social, put this shirt on. Airport friends come around in an instant, and if you're in Dallas maybe you'll also get free drinks.

I'm going to test it out at the bar, see if it's got the same effect on men.
