BC Interruption Football T-Shirt Design Contest

PrintAt the start of the 2007 season, we decided to print up some "Ryan for Heisman" t-shirts and wear them to all the football games we attended that season. The whole thing seemed a bit silly; that is, until the Eagles started the season 8-0 and BC's senior quarterback was working on a legitimate Heisman resume.
*
After a two-season hiatus, we are looking for a new t-shirt design for the 2010 football season. We are looking for a design that might sound somewhat appealing or interesting enough to plunk down some hard-earned cash on. Obviously we can't do anything too copyright-y and we have to tread lightly on the use of the school's name and the names of players. So it's best to try to incorporate your favorite obscure quotation or random reference.
Got ideas for a BC football t-shirt design? Leave them in the comments section. Just a slogan or text for the shirt will suffice, but extra points will be awarded if you go the extra mile and actually mock up the t-shirt design.
We'll be taking suggestions through early next week, then we'll pick a Top 5 and put it to a reader vote. We will award the creator of the winning design with two free t-shirts. So put on your creative hats and give it your best shot.
Ready, go.
* In no way is B-Rob endorsing Ryan for Heisman, Chick-Fil-A or Powerade. Well, maybe Chick-Fil-A.

Do I get points for having the worst idea?
“Mr. Owl, how many Herzlich’s does it take to get to the Championship game of the ACC Conference?”
“One… Twoooohooohooo. Three. Three”
Variant on a theme:
Chick-Fil-F
Giving BC a failing grade since 2005 …

Nate Freese starring as Mr. Freeze from Batman & Robin
On the front of the shirt, his number (#85).
On the back, the name “Mr. Freese” with appropriate quote from the movie. The possibilities are endless!
“Mercy? I’m afraid my condition has left me cold to your pleas of mercy.”
“Tonight, hell freezes over!”
“Ice to see you!”
“I will blanket the city in endless winter. First Chestnut Hill, and then the world.”
“What killed the dinosaurs? The Ice Age!”
“In this universe, there’s only one absolute… everything freezes!”
“If revenge is a dish best served cold, then put on your Saturday finest. It’s time to feast!”
“The Ice Man cometh!”
Or probably my favorite:
“Allow me to break the ice. My name is Freese. Learn it well. For it’s the chilling sound of your doom.”

Back in my day
We spored a nice shirt reading “Notre Dame is good…” on the front, with an Eagle sitting on a tree doing you know what to a Fighting Irishman, with Triumph’s tag line on the back as well.
I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing those again.
And while he has no ties to BC, this quote from Dutch Meyer would be solid (especially for late fall games, or in hockey season):
Fight ’em till hell freezes over, then fight ’em on the ice.
Batman with Robin The Boy Wonder
Replace “Robin” with “Luke” and make a maroon and gold t-shirt that looks like this:

Worst-est State Ever
Replace outline of Ohio with outline of the state of Connecticut.

shinskie
Front has “Say Uncle”
with uncle dave smiling and flexing one arm while having an opposing player/mascot in a headlock with the other one
eagle on the back
This is an older one
I was working with Sandy on designing this shirt for Mark way back when and still have the design so I thought I’d throw it up here. Not my only entry for sure…

Nice one!
This reminds me of the quote in Wedding Crashers — “Sack lunch! Nom nom nom nom nom”
Here’s another idea from Wedding Crashers, in particular for the Maryland game?
Front: “Chowdah and Football”
Back: “That’s what Boston does!”

Very impressed with the submissions so far...
Design # 1
Herzlich eye black shape on front, similar to herznation. Under the each eye write “Dark” And “Knight”
On the back—- “He’s Baaaaack”
Design #3
(Front) Detective Tahj Kimble (w/spin on police logo- potentially BCPD) Back- Who is your daddy and What does he do?
Used it for one of my Gameday signs
“Shinskie for Cy Young Heisman” on Front
“15” on back
As farfetched as we all know that may be…
Two for the road
- - Use the Force Luke.
- - In light of the new UA deal
Front: Baldwin with Herz Eyeblack
Back: Protect This House (with list of home games or at least the big ones VT, ND,
Clemson)
Herz So Good
Front: Come on BC
Back: Make it Herz so good
For Brian...
In homage to my favorite school and my favorite movie: Home Alone
Put a sketch of Baldwin on the front making the Kevin MacAllister face.
Then on the back, put oneof these gems:
1. This is our house. We have to defend it
2. You guys give up? Or are you thirsty for more
3. This is it. Don’t get scared now.
I do love me some quality Home Alone quotes.

Replace “Hope” with “Stashe” and I think you’ve really got something here!

The only problem is Kuechly is from Ohio. Struggling to fit a Jersey guy into a shirt like this …
Will Thompson
Shakim Phillips
Chris Pantale
Brad Newman
Mike Naples
Mike Marscovetra
Ryan Lindsey
Colin Larmond Jr.
Alex DiSanzo
Jarrett Darmstatter
Seth Betancourt
Darius Bagan
Dominic Appiah
Damn, we have a lot of Jersey boys.

Then again, only one of the current Jersey Shore cast members is actually from Jersey.

I don’t think it has to be a Jersey guy. It should be #1 a star player and #2 a name that starts with L and rhymes with or is like Laundry. With Saint Luke we’ve got the L and ending in Y. Best case scenario in my book.
When does the competition end because I’m thinking of some others, but still need to wake up the hungover kids in the art dept.
Targeting end of day Wednesday (tomorrow) for submissions.

i like the idea- hence the facebook group.
Maybe theheights can work on a mockup. But here’s an idea
Front- Fear the Stache (over left chest) (insert creative logo)
Back- The list of people that support the stache is long, but distinguished.
This won't win, but this is for BCRaj

Play on an Eagles concert t-shirt
Front: Eagles Tour 2010
Back: The Revenge Tour 2010
Sep 25, 2010 – Hokies (14-48)
Oct 2, 2010 – Irish (16-20)
Oct 30, 2010 – Tigers (7-25)
Dec 4, 2010 – ACC Championship (12-30)
Something that looks similar to this:

Maybe some of our computer graphic-savvy readers can take this idea and run with it? (You can take credit)
Incorporating the road to Charlotte in the design …
BC Interruption, SBN's Boston College Eagles blog
This shirt is great too.
As per cconlon, maybe we remove the scores?
Probably can’t use the BC logo on the front either.
BC Interruption, SBN's Boston College Eagles blog
Tweaking an earlier design ...
If you’re going to use two colors for the t-shirt prints, I think the Heisman/Rhodes Scholar looks better in white.
That shirt looks awesome. Seriously
I think BCRaj is referring to copyright issues …
Might not be able to use “ACC” —> just “Championship”?
Not sure if Duke or Wake have their team names copyrighted either. Could use “Deacons” and “Devils” instead. The rest of the team nicknames seem fairly generic.
BC Interruption, SBN's Boston College Eagles blog
yes some copyright and TM issues exist
ACC is a problem. Also the BC logo on the front, will be an issue.
If you can come up with a creative alternative, i think you may have just won the competition.
In terms of school names, i think we are ok.

More Dark Knight
Front: Herzlich eye black
Back: “The night is darkest just before the dawn. And I promise you, the dawn is coming.”
BC Interruption, SBN's Boston College Eagles blog
i like this
Herzlich eye black with Dark and Knight under each eye.
We thinking gold or maroon t-shirt.
I was thinking maroon shirt with gold and white lettering. Darker colored t-shirt more appropriate for this design, I think.

To theheights
You are clearly very talented in the t-shirt design department. If you want to mock up any of the text-only ideas that you like — and that design wins — happy to cut you in on the winnings and send you some shirts.
BC Interruption, SBN's Boston College Eagles blog
Sounds good
Busy day today at work though, so won’t be able to get to it till later …
Plan on keeping this open until midnight.

Final entry ...
OK so I combined and tweaked these for my last entry …
Don’t have time to do any other mock-ups tonight, but if another entry wins I’d be happy to help out on the design as needed
Montel for Doak
Just named to the Doak Walter Award watch list.
