The Saints are Kicking Butt and I Want to Cash In!
With the entire city in love with the Saints right now, I've been brainstorming ideas for Saints-related t-shirts that I could sell here at my store, entrepreneurial spirit that I am. For example, this morning I made a black t-shirt with a simple, one-color Superdome that read, "Dome is where the heart is." arched over the roof. I also made a "WHO DAT!?" shirt in the style of the old Frankie Say's shirts. The eighties are back!
But I need more help. I figured what better place to go for some good ideas than you bunch of clowns. Got any cool t-shirt ideas? Here are a few guidelines:
- Here is a great example of what I am looking for.
- It can't be something ridiculously complicated like a picture of Drews face and crazy, multi-colored lettering. I am not screenprinting them, they are being done with vinyl.
- If you're a guy, don't keep yourself in mind because most of my customers are women. And college students. It shouldn't be something intense like the ideas we've been throwing around for the CSC shirts.
- I can't actually use the Saints name and I probably shouldn't use their exact fleur-di-lis either.
- Funny, clever and witty is best.
I'm interested in hearing your feedback. I'll post pictures of any shirts I decide to actually make. If your idea actually makes me a couple of bucks, I'll give you one.

THIS IS MADNESS!! THIS IS NEW ORLEANS!!
"Indecision may or may not be my biggest problem" - Jimmy Buffett
“I liked the Saints when they sucked” I think that would be a good shirt for the ironical set.
Or stick with the “Breesus” thing. Lotta possibilities.
“Breesus Saves”, or “Praise Breesus”, or “I Got A Friend In Breesus”, or “Breesus Built My Hot Rod”. Then some single color mildly religious Brees caricature, like a black velvet Jesus painting. I’m not capable of posting an example with photoshop, but if you own a print shop, I’m sure you know a guy.
My favorite from that may be too esoteric, but a nod to the Big Lebowski, with “You said it, man. Nobody f**ks with the Breesus.” Then maybe a pic of John Turturro.

A picture of Shockey and a picture of Brees. The caption is simple,

corny but
“Easy, Breesy, beautiful Saintsation” Then maybe on the back have Brees standing with a Saintsation and have a scoreboard over them with a blowout score? I think it’s the covergirl theme or something. That’s more for the guys though probably. One for the ladies would to have a group of the best looking Saints players standing together(or have their faces on Mt. Rushmore, sorta like your “Who Dat Say” thing) on a pink shirt. The saying could be “My Favorite Saints” or something. Just throwing em out there.
Superbowl bound!!!...I know! do you?! Go Saints!!
Just for the record...
women don’t always want pink shirts. In fact, I hate pink. On the link you posted of examples, I loved the purple with the vertical fleurs de lies. In fact, I’ll probably order one today! I wish I could give you some ideas, but I’m not creative enough. I just know what I like when I see it.

It seems to be a sore subject, and
I don’t know where they are going with the “nickname” t-shirts. But…can you do something with the “Domeland Security” theme? I get that it probably won’t work for a team nickname, but I’d love to have a t-shirt along those lines. I like the idea of a team nickname t-shirt with money going to charity. But I’m happy for the money to go to YOU for something like this. I don’t know anything about designs, but maybe you could put on the #’s of some of our big defensive names on it too.

Wait Til Next Year, It's Next Year! Fleur-de Lis instead of excl. mark
or Wait til Next Year,1967-NOW (Fleur-de-Lis) different style/font than the official team font of course black & gold of course, this idea has been our old long time battle cry, I have an old ball cap a friend gave me like 15-20 yrs ago very cheesy,no name type, & cheap. bought in the Quarter and it read 1966-? “Wait til Next Year” still have it. The hat reads 1966-? (yr. of franchise) be we obviously started playing 67. If u could do something w/ that. I’d buy it, but I’d want a cut, LOL.

How about this one?
Print “United We Stand” on the front of the shirt. Then on the back show either the saints flag or flue di lis in gold.
To me United We Stand kind of have been the theme of the Saints this year, not all phases have been playing exceptionally well, but they have all been playing good.

I like FuSoYa’s " I liked the Saints when They Sucked" or any thing from The Big Lebowski.

I stopped by that place on my way home from work yesterday and picked up a purple K&B tee. It should go well with my Schwegmann’s Aints bag.

but I think that place is run by the brother of a girl I was friends with in high school. Is it on Magazine? I saw a pretty nice “You Can’t Beat…Wagner’s Meat” shirt online somewhere yesterday, too. Might fit the look.

I got a tip but would probably only work after the season
Similar to a concert tour shirt
Front “Saints Proselytism Tour 2010” and a fleur-de-lis
Back: on top “They´ve come to save America” and underneath a listing with the schedule
Then with every game we win or won cross the city name through with a green check and next to that the word “converted” or “saved”
if we loose a game then the city name is crossed out with a red X and next to that “cancelled” or “damned”
I guess that would probably be too controversial though so forget it. I thought it was a cool but then I have a twisted sense of humor too.
T-Shirt slogan
1 super bowl ticket: 2300$
1 New orleans saints team: 131 million dollars
Not having to wear a paper bag over your head: pricless
T-shirt slogan #2
1 super bowl ticket 2300$
1 New Orleans saints team: 131 million dollars
1 Superbowl ring priceless

You could make a whole set of things with stick men, lol.
One stick man diving over a pile of stick men into the endzone, caption reads “Got Bush?”
A crowd of stickmen with one extending his arm out above the crowd to catch the football, “Got Colston?”
Something like that.
