Loading ...Okay, we’ve talked about doing t-shirts for a while, but we’ve never come up with a good idea that would work. So, we need your help.
We’re thinking the shirts will be red, with a Redleg Nation logo, but we need some witty phrase or slogan to go on the back. That’s where you come in.
Let’s hear your suggestions for something to put on the back of the shirt. Preferably, it should be something that would make you laugh if you were walking behind someone at GAB and read it on their back. (In the alternative, feel free to submit a proposed mock-up of the shirt, if you want to go that far).
We’ll give a free t-shirt to the person who comes up with the slogan that gets selected (whenever we actually get the shirts printed). We are hoping to set up a Redleg Nation get-together at Great American Ballpark later this season, and we’d like to have these printed up well before that.
Okay, get to work….
I like the HAVOC idea mentioned on the podcast that was started by a commenter.
Harang
Arroyo
Volquez
Owings
Cueto
Something along those lines would be funny and I would most definitely be a buyer.
Or you could put a big picture of George Grande’s face on the back saying “Hi, Hello, and Welcome!” or “6-4-Yessiree three!” Uhh… so HAVOC it is.
Why reinvent the wheel?… whomever of the editors came up with “Clogging the bases since 1995″ is pretty good. Might be a bit too much of an inside joke though to make anybody at the park laugh.
Well, it could be one of Dusty’s classic quotes such as: “Where would he play”
Another would be “Ask me about the George Grande Drinking Game.”
“I was misconstrued”
If you were going to use a George Grande line..it’d have to be “that’ll stay in the ball park”…
Problem I see with a dusty quote (while humorous) is it will be out-dated at some point, and it’s probably a little too inside for an average person to get. Then again, who really cares about that!
I’m a Top 25 Commenter at RedlegNation.com. And yes, I do have a life.
Any GG line would work for this guy, but Y-City’s “Ask me about the George Grande Drinking Game” is def the way to go if you ask me. If no GG on the back then “SAVE CHUCK!!” will work.
Sidenote: We really do have to get everyones input on a real GG Drinking Game. I think response for it would be great.
And EkYReds suggestion of GG’s mug on the back of the shirt would be great as well.
I’m a big fan of Chris Sabo’s Goggles’ unofficial 2009 slogan: “It’s probably going to happen (maybe).” Any chance of an epic team up?
“Get em on, get em over and get em in.”
-George Grande every inning of every game
Rain saves “Dusty” Again!!
I go Blotto for Votto
IF you’re going to put something about a George Grande drinking game…you could do the whole thing on the back..
Drink if George Grande says:
“This will stay in the ball park…”
“Great decision by Dusty Baker”
etc, etc…a whole list..
Nick in Virginia, can you find your way to Pound?
Probably too long to fit on a shirt:
“If you have a redlegnation.com game thread lasting 4 hours, seek immediate medical attention.”
“We put the P back in GABP”

I reguarly pound my head against the wall or desk and am frequently told to go pound sand, but, no, I can’t find my way to Pound. In fact, I’m ashamed to admit, I can’t remember being much further southwest than Salem. I’m close to Richmond.
If you experience epileptic seizures or heart attacks during Red’s games, Redleg Nation may be right for you, if you have trouble with Dusty syndrome, corey patterson-aitis, call your doctor before using Red Leg Nation.
Side Effects- You may experience bladder problems, headaches, anger, and the possibility of a man crush on Joey Votto…
“If you have a redlegnation.com game thread lasting 4 hours, seek immediate medical attention.”
GregD, that is a good one.
If Marge Schott and Marty Brennaman had a baby…..this is what it would look like.
I kind of like Creating HAVOC since 2005. But yeah, that might not resonate after the Dusty era.
I spent all day on redlegnation.com and all I got was this lousy t-shirt. Oh and I lost my job.
If I see Jeff Brantley I’m NOT calling him cowboy……even if there’s a fire.
“Great decision by Dusty Baker”
Good call on that one for the drinking game.
You could have BP’s face on the back with “Face of the Franchise” or “Team Phillips” on it. Or something like “Redlegnation.com, more active on gameday than GABP.”
We Heart Dusty!
Or if that’s too subtle, let’s just call it like we really see it:
We Heart Dunce-ty!
Oh yeah, in reference to EKyRedsFan #1, I was listening to McAlister on the way home today, and he’s just NOW bringing up the HAVOC nickname for the starting pitching staff.
Somebody on here finally alerted him to it?
Warning: Clogging the bases may result in double plays and/or stranded runners.

Possible side-effects include working the pitch count and scoring more runs.
hahaha i love that one Johnny be goodhehe’s
Where’s the Havoc?
Dusty brings us manna from heaven yesterday for the shirts: “I ain’t no front runner”
… perfect for true Reds fans, and poking fun at Dusty for the time that he’s around. If this isn’t what Redleg Nation is about, I don’t know what it is.
My friends and I joke around and call Dusty “Toothpick.” I think we should create a fiction character that is a toothpick and have several of Dustyisms: ” I was misconstrued,” “I ain’t no front runner” etc on the shirt.
I like ekyredsfan’s idea about “face of the franchise” too. Good stuff!

I ain’t no front-runner (WTHTM)
WTHTM = Whatever the hell that means
Dusty Bat Me 7th (picture of Rosales)
So I can chill and marinate
Slogan:
Redlegnation: Ain’t no frontrunners
Redleg Nation:
Blogging the bases since 1995.
Oh, and sent PDF T-Shirt Design to Chad via email, too.
