Thoughts on Griz hoops shirts?
The Griz basketball program needs some shirts. Just about every single other student section does it. Sorry, those plain 'UM' shirts just aren't going to cut it.
With that, here is a very rough draft of a basic design, any suggestions are welcome.
I know the quote is dumb and cheesy, that's the point.
Seriously though, let me know in the comments what you think.
UPDATE: Matt, not quite the verticle eyechart look -- that can get confusing -- but something a little similar..png)
I agree that the plain UM shirts need to go. I really like the front. The only thing i would say is that football and every other sport is going to have the old shirts.
Cool for the initiative, but whats "the point" of having a cheesy quote? Something more personalized towards Missoula or UMT would be rad.
Lose the Sandlot quote on the back. I know that cheesy is the point, but that might be overdoing it.
Maybe you could put, "Man, we wish Krystkowiak were here" instead of the other quote.
I like the front of the shirt. What about staggering the letters like in an eye chart.

Or, in opposite order, making "zoo" the biggest word.

Just an idea. Probably a crappy one.
After listening to a couple people -- not just in these comments -- that quote blows. Someone please toss up a good one.
I posted a little bit ago but dont see my post up there. I hope I don't double post, but before I basically said whats "the point" of having a cheesy quote? Something more personalized towards UMT or Missoula would be more dope. Then I was thinkin, a contemporary quote or phrase is usually clever. And in light of last seasons sub-par defensive efforts, how about a little encouragement for that area, like...'Let's get our swagger back, Throw some D's on that bitch!' I dont know, I'm not too creative, just brain stormin here.
It was a double post but the addition of the second half is what we need. profanity won't work but that was a phenomenal selection. It needs to be good but not to serious. GU had 'Rule #76: no excuses, play like a champion.' shooting for something similar in quality.
