OT: Detroit Lions: Conference Participants
Full disclosure, I'm a Bears fan, but this was sent to me by my cousins in Detroit (Lions fans). Figured after the season you all had, this would provide a good laugh. I'm assuming you're a good natured bunch who can laugh at themselves....right?

Ridiculously photogenic guy?!

As Lions (Cubs?) fans, we're quite used to it. I got funny looks from my co-workers when a buddy of mine sent the link to me this morning.
Edit: removed embed, didn't see in post above when I posted.

Just noticed that. Thanks for the heads up. I'll throw that in the OP.

According to Alternative Hero's site, the shirt is limited edition and only available for this week. However, their "About Us" page reveals that they are the folks behind the "Rebuilding Since '57" shirt, which I still have in my closet. They were also behind the "2008 Preseason Champions" shirt apparently. I may very well get this one as well.

It is a prized possession that I will burn in my fire pit if the Lions ever make the super bowl...it will fall aprt before that I bet.
January 21st, 2014 at 2:11 PM ^
Will be a great addition

This year's pretenders!
(my idea for a shirt. don't use it!)

I think even this title is too generous.

I always thought the Lions missed a golden marketing opportunity in the stadium. Here in Cleveland we have the "Dog Pound" which turned crappy end zone seats into a "thing" people wanted to get into. The fans throw bark, throw dog bones and wear dog masks.
Detroit should do the same thing (sort of). The end zone seats could be called the "Litter Box" and fans in the Litter Box could meow (or purr if the Lions scored), throw cat toys and wear cute kitten masks. When an opposing team was in the red zone the fans could "show their claws" and make scary growling noises.
I'm telling you this could go places.

I used to work for a guy whose seats were "a tossed beer bottle away from 'The Bone Lady,'" but I have a hard time believing that they would throw bark.
Re the Lions, I'm sure their fans believe they've seen their team play the same game 7,485 times in a row.

I'm on my work laptop, and was nervous about clicking the other link. Thanks.

We love a good joke.

Beat the bears twice this season. Glass houses my friend.
January 21st, 2014 at 3:14 PM ^
Tshirt idea: HEAD TO HEAD VS. BEARS CHAMPIONS 2013
January 21st, 2014 at 3:16 PM ^
Yea if the Lions hadn't beaten the Bears twice, da Bears would have been in the playoffs. Sucks when you're knocked out of the playoffs by "CONFERENCE PARTICIPANTS"
January 21st, 2014 at 3:27 PM ^
Good job, Lions!!!!
January 21st, 2014 at 5:12 PM ^
Detroit Lions: Division Champs (when the other 3 starting QBs in the division were injured for significant portions of the season)...
Oh wait. Couldn't even do that.
Detroit Lions: Non-Injured Starting QB Champs of NFC North 2013!!!!
January 21st, 2014 at 4:28 PM ^
I hear you man. No offense taken. I'd buy the shirt if they had a Bears version, but I was forwarded this by my LIons fan cousin. We screwed the pooch as well.
EDIT: Damn!!! This was supposed to be a reply to a comment above. Oh well.
January 21st, 2014 at 4:47 PM ^
Bought it this morning. Will go perfect with my "Perfect Season 2008: 0-16" Shirt
