Tee-Shirt Turkeys

[Born Boiler]

Hard to believe so many people can’t see fit to wear the free T-shirts they’re given at their seats for just one nationally televised game each year.

Has anyone ever seen a place besides Mackey that’s been so challenged to find some marginal measure of uniformity?

It’s not like those “non-conformist” fans come in donned in finery from right off the runways of Paris. The back rack of Old Navy clearance is more like it. And that’s fine. Just wear the damn shirts.

Section 12, I’m calling you out. You half full of tee turkeys.

And then there's the three pigs in the middle of Section 16 ... Can’t imagine why you’d want to stand out, especially when you can’t stand for school songs. Go home and stay there. Let some people who give a damn claim your seats. Ooh-yah.

unfortunately...some can't get into them. As one that tries to stay in decent shape I always feel like I'm getting pinched...and twisted...and...

You've got something there ... great marketing idea ... "Now you, too, can feel what it's like to be Caleb Swanigan or Isaac Haas, fighting to get position in the paint ... the 2017 State of Purdue T-shirt!!!"

At tip-off, "It's GO time!"

PREACH!!
I feel it was better this year than years past. Plus the school has realized that they need to have a simple pattern or it won't show up right because a lot of jackasses won't put the shirts on. Having full sections all the same color was a good choice. They tried to alternate rows one year. Well...the picture they took before the game that year looked cool at least.

even the x large shirts are not big enough to fit some folks. if it fits and you dont put it on then shame on you.

They ought to be those tie-on things. The point is to make a pattern, not to get a free t-shirt.

Not to mention the team and cheerleaders were both wearing gray while the rest of the arena was blanketed in black and gold.

fully understand and one that goes to basketball games to watch the game and coaches I noticed the cheerleaders and although they did not match as you stated...I liked the uniforms as they were slenderizing. Wouldn't mind them wearing them more...not that I'm superstictious

It's the "Mom washed my home whites in hot water, bleach and black socks" look.

Sure beats those tired red things, though.
