i just dont get it

Love it. This design is very analogous to the Animal House "College" shirt, where its generic nature reflects the tepid blandness of specific sports and college tee shirts. Which is probably an opinion shared mostly by the tee shirt connoisseurs on this site, and not the folks who actually wear Notre Dame or Yankees shirts with real sincerity.

Is this a reference to the 1983 hit album by Huey Lewis and the News?

Is this tribute to Tim and Eric's sketch of Sports!?

Another "Out of Left Field" get it, sports analogy design from threadless. The more I look at it the more I like it. As a hardcore sloganeer I'm a little miffed but that's just selfishness. Slogans like these will never score well because they can't be visualized on a shirt so it's up to threadless to say "Hey, this would be really cool!"
Now what I wonder is how did a possibly 5 year old slogan from someone that appears to not have been around threadless for years get found?

You're talking about Think of the Children by bootsboots. Yes, it is very much on the same level, yet the simplicity of this one makes is superior. I hate the design of the other one too, looks very amateurish.

hmmm.... finally i can see it. and i must admit that it is indeed clever.
i've seen a design from another website that says "80th race for a cure for something" (don't remember the exact words), a generic version of those racing t-shirts. i think it's more or less the same concept, even though on this later case, the irony is more heavily evident.

Botha = both a
staffell on Nov 29, 2010 at 09:10:03
From a linguistic standpoint, the word 'sport' is an interesting one, because it can be Botha singular noun and a collective noun AND there is also a plural, sports, as demonstrated here. That has no bearing on the appeal of this shirt, just an observation.

Yes, this is definitely a play on words...and design! It's not just WHAT the tee says, but HOW it is displayed. This type treatment is heavily used as a generic design for sports teams everywhere. It works great here because it's a generic word with a generic design, but it's chock-full of playful sarcasm. That's my take, anyway.
