Thuggets Nation Season Two Shirts

Never was a fan of that “nickname”…

None of the new ones have anything on the back. I understand it doesn’t appeal to everyone.

does that one have the Thuggets Nation on the back??

The Nene one is sweet. You should make an Afflalo one too

How much does Melo get paid for each of those Melo T-shirts you sell?
How much does Nene get paid for each of those Nene T-shirts you sell?
What about NBA royalties?

Point being that the whole thing doesn’t look like it is on the up and up to me. You are probably going to need a good lawyer somewhere down the line.

i think they will be ok as long as nobody says anything. spelling andersen’s name wrong, now that is big time trouble.

You know, we make these shirts because we are fans. We’re not making any money doing this, if anything we’ve lost money (of course that’s not even counting the $6,500 I shell out for season tickets every year). Making the web site, the designs, the shirts, putting photos on our blog (http://thuggetsnation.wordpress.com/) from the games for readers to enjoy… We’re just trying to break even at this point, and make some cool shirts for people to wear to the games and around town to support the team.

And yes, we’re working on an AAA shirt and a K-Mart shirt (and Chauncey too, that one’s gonna be sick), we just need to sell a few more so we can re-invest. Believe me, I’d love to print on American Apparel tees but they are really expensive.

And by the way, Melo loves these shirts. He has a couple in his closet and even showed them on MTV Cribs. He’s a homie, not an uptight, sue-happy chump.

You know I posted these here because I was hoping to connect with fellow fans and stoke some people out, and for the most part, it seems you guys like what we’re doing. So for that, I thank you. If not, too bad. You know, the more time I spend reading blogs and so-called “fan sites”, the more I realize the true fans aren’t the ones that go online to bitch about someone’s crappy play last night or one of Coach Karl’s bad decisions. They’re the ones cheering their hearts out from the 300 level. They’re sitting in sports bars yelling at the television set, or watching at home with their friends and families, rooting on their team through thick and thin. They don’t care about trade rumors or salaries or stats. They just love their team, no matter what. Melo’s ball-hogging, J.R.‘s wild shots, K-Mart’s overpaid knees… it doesn’t matter. Those are the fans we made the shirts for, and those are the fans I hope find us and wear them with pride.

Rant over and out.

You should make it all insurance-y
