I think there is a huge market opportunity for well-designed, dare I say, somewhat "fashionable" sports/licensed merchandise. 90% of it is absolutelly horrid
you sure do seem to have a lot of time on your hands to be on this forum? Do you have a job? Are you a shut-in?

I think that's right. UNDRCRWN - makers of the &&&& shirts you've probably seen - are doing quite well, according to a recent issue of Paper.

And now that I mention it, a

Jimmy &
Ryan &
Chase &
Cole &
Brad.

shirt would be pretty sweet.

I love this picture of everyone's reaction to Chase's F-bomb.

Burrell and Werth obviously loved it! But my favorites are Frantzke and Wheels (both in the back center)
