  • Last chance for t-shirts

    There's a fine line between just offering something and overselling it. I hope I'm not crossing it, but the other thread became so convoluted I figured it got skipped by a lot of people and I'd start a new one.

    I decided I'd like to have a t-shirt to commemorate UNI winning the mythical state championship in football this year or whatever you want to call it. I realize many true Panther fans consider this silly. I also realize we have bigger fish to fry than this, in the big scheme of things our conference games are more important and we have realistic expectations of postseason play this year which is way more important.

    This was just supposed to be a little fun thing and if anything was intended to be a small dig at Mr. Pollard and his well documented billboard campaign. Somehow the idea of Panther fans declaring our team the state champions brought down the wrath of hawkeye nation on us and generated 5 page threads on both their message board and on here.

    Bottom line is if I'm going to order shirts I need to order ten or more or the cost is prohibitive. I can use 4 or 5 of the shirts personally. I'm wondering if anyone else wants one, I think I have one taker off PN so far. These will be very limited edition shirts. An order of 10 costs something around $18.50 each. If there is no interest in this on Panther Nation I will conclude it is a really bad idea and just scrap it.

    I will not order more than 10-12 maximum. My wife doesn't get thrilled about me laying out money for stuff based on interest from anonymous message board posters. I already have extra tickets for homecoming to sell. More on that next week.

    In order to get the shirts in time for homecoming I have to order them today. Sorry, I can't do mail orders, this offer is only for people I can hook up with either in Dsm or at homecoming. If you are interested send me a PM and we will work out the details.

    This is the basic design, it has been modified very slightly to improve the centering and make some lettering slightly larger, but basically this is what you would be getting:

      Design could use a little work....

          Does anyone remember the tshirts that came out when we beat Iowa State in 1992? I still have mine (guess that dates me pretty bad). It says:
          UNI FOOTBALL:
          We Beat Iowa
          STATE
          By A Bigger Margin THan the University
          OF IOWA
          Did, So We Are the State
          CHAMPS
          Of Iowa College Football
          Iowa over ISU * 21-7 * 9/12/92
          UNI over ISU * 27-10 * 9/26/92

          I can't remember if I got mine at the bookstore or not, but everyone seemed to have one. I say this year the "mythical" state championship is more real than back then!
          By the way, I love the IT'S A PANTHER STATE - that would be cool all on its own!

            I HAD THAT T-SHIRT! I believe a disgruntled ex-girlfriend held it hostage after our official break-up during my college years. I think I got mine at T-Galaxy in College Square Mall. Does anyone still have one of these shirts? I think it was a navy blue shirt with gold printing.

              Mine is gray with purple lettering. T-Galaxy sounds familiar - maybe that's where I got mine.

                Mine was white with purple lettering from T-Galaxy. I have received more comments (good comments) about that shirt than any other I have ever owned.

                  I helped open T Galaxy on the hill back in the 70's.
