Sports tees are always in fashion. The
NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA, and a host of other alphabet soup organizations derive much
of their profits from licensed apparel emblazoned with the logos of teams in
their leagues. And while it’s always expensive to go out and buy
authentic looking shirts and hats there is still a market for off brands and
nondescript merchandise. You can find shirts in Walmart that say “ALLSTAR” or “CHAMP” or any other generic
sports themed gear for your sports nut, but admittedly, it’s not quite the same.
Well, what if you aren’t into traditional
sports? What if you aren’t the king of the gridiron or assassin of
the court? What if the best thing you were good at in school was,
say, nukem? We’re not even talking
about traditional volleyball. We’re talking about the game where
you catch the ball and then throw it over the net. That’s why
Mongo Angry! Mongo Smash! wants to recognize the gym class hero and playground
phenom in all of us with these designs.
If you didn’t get picked last on the playground you
must have a pretty decent leg. Great punters and place kickers
have to start somewhere. Might as well be the one who can kick
that big red rubber ball past the dumpster.
If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.
That piece of advice from Patches O'Houlihan is
essential along with Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and...
Dodge. And while you’re at it, catch the damn thing and get your
team back on the court.
With the World Cup and the drone of the Vuvuzelas safely in the rearview mirror for a bit, it’s time
to start searching for the next superstar of the field. What
better way to show your athletic prowess than to advertise that, in grade
school, you were the king of the multipurpose room that doubled as a cafeteria,
auditorium, and gym class. While your sensory skills in
determining who was picking you in Thumbs Up Seven Up is in line with The
Medium, your ability to scoot yourself down the linoleum and make a goal in
Scooter Soccer was nothing short of David Beckham on a good day.
On the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field, football legends were separated
from mere mortals. The grid iron is a place to crush your
opponent’s will and body as you march down the field towards destiny.
However, if you can’t run, hit, kick, or catch, you can still be an All
American in Study Hall by correctly folding a piece of paper.
Don’t laugh, the ability to adjust your game for table top grain is
indeed a valuable skill to be had.
Kids are wimps these days. What do they
know about the rough and tumble world of previous generations’ backyard
games. In my youth, we threw huge darts at each other and never
moved as we waited to see who could make it inside the ring at our feet.
Then someone had to go and ban the game of Lawn Darts. I
tell you, those were the days of wrought iron metal jungle gyms, hanging over
concrete playgrounds, and slides with reflective metal that made for the
equivalent of a cheese grater on the back of your legs as you slid down in the
hot sun. Soft molded plastic and recycled tennis shoe rubber have
made our kids weaklings.
There you are, sport tees for all us recess superstars.
