The BFTB Apparel Store is Open! We need your help.

So, some of you may know this has been in the works for about a year and a half now. I was put in charge of getting BFTB apparel - namely: shirts - designed and up for sale. Well, I have this incredibly bad habit of over-extending myself and volunteering myself for too many things at once. Usually in that case, something suffers and gets back-burnered. In this instance, it was the apparel store.
Well, you'll be happy to know I finally got off my butt and opened the Bolts From The Blue Apparel Store!
Right now, I'm working on getting the designs made and put into the store. As it is now, we have two (competing) shirts and I'm working on getting a hat into the store. Some of you may have already seen the hat idea, you can expect to see that in the store soon once Spreadshirt gets back to me answering my questions.
John and I have brainstormed and come up with a few designs we think are clever and you'd like. I'm still working on getting them down on (digital) paper, but they will be made and the products populated into the store just as soon as I get the designs made.
Did you read the title to this post? Wondering where your help is needed? Well, make the jump to find out how you can help us, and even make a little money for yourself in the process.
Yes, it's true, we need your help. So far, it's just been John and I coming up with shirt (or other apparel) ideas. We know we have tons of clever and creative people on this site. What we're asking from you is to give us your ideas for what to put on shirts, hats, mugs, baby bibs, dog bandannas; you name it! We have a ton of products at our disposal, we just need your ideas on what to put on them!
We can put graphics, photos, text; anything really. And I'm pretty proficient with Photoshop and Illustrator, that there shouldn't be any idea too complicated that we couldn't make work.
Some caveats though: we're not allowed to use the Chargers name, graphics, logos, player photos or names. But aside from that, pretty much anything is fair game.
Oh, right, I did mention you could make a little money in the process. I didn't forget, don't worry. See, if we end up liking your design idea and end up using it on a product, you'll receive $1 for each item that sells with your design on it. How's that for incentive?
So stretch out your creativity muscles and post your apparel ideas in the comments below! And not to mention, buy a shirt or two!

Is there still a screenshot around of Mathews' old WoW character?
Because that would be pretty sweet with a huge “RUN MOAR” around it. Maybe can’t use screenshot of WoW though?

Nope.
WoW is the property of Blizzard. So we’d have to pay them royalties to sell the shirts.

Man, the more I think about that shirt concept
The less good of an idea it seems like. It’s like wearing a Chargers jersey, except instead its an “F your team” jersey. Instead of getting assaulted by Raiders fans, you’d get assaulted by…everyone’s fans. Including the Chargers.

“Tebow: fullback > quarterback”
etc.

The problem with these shirts
is that the number of other people who would understand the shirt concept is like…300 people…in the world. Not even Chargers fans would understand it…only BFTB fans.

We could make a "FIRE NORV" shirt, just to sell out and roll in the dough.
On that note, “FIRE SAPNOS” will end up on a shirt.

"Fire Norv" might, but doubtful since his likeness isn't owned by NFLPA.

Just to clarify
Is that because you don’t expect any of them to be sold, or because I didn’t add the #?
It's because this particular idea had been kicked around internally before you ever mentioned it.

Team Novak
Now I know why the Kicker post was written a few days back…..to keep memories fresh.
It’s kinda insane to buy a Team Novak shirt, then he gets cut in traning camp. That’s the nature of the beast in football.
"After the first six minutes I was heavily winded"-Andrew Bynum
But think of it this way
If you’re on TeamNovak, you can still show your support for him and dissatisfaction with the team’s decision.
Just because Mat Latos isn’t on the Padres anymore doesn’t mean I’m not going to wear my #balls “I hate SF” shirt.

I always wonder why roethlesburger isn't more a part of the rivers/manning conversation because in my mind it was that trio in that draft class.
It paints a worse picture of San Diego and the Chargers as he has also won a super bowl (two in fact).
Because Roethlisberger wasn't part of the trade
His name comes up, but there’s not as much dramatic tension in it.

Bolts from the Blue
On the I (heart) Marty shirt it should somewhere on it say "No Caswell. Hate her."

On a turtleneck...
arrow up with “How do you like my turkey neck?”
Poor Norv, I don’t really hate him.

A BFTB-specific "Destroying your opinions with facts since 200x"
and that picture of John in/eating the top hat.

Or even the above "Faith and Arrogance"
to include a simple picture of a hat on a plate.

That's pretty strong.

I'm going to insist that RUN MOAR be applied to some form of running gear
"Were such things here as we do speak about?
Or have we eaten on the insane root
That takes the reason prisoner?"
How about a Muscle Shirt?

That could work
Though it’s slightly incongruous.

I'll look through the products and see what I can do.

I was biking a bit ago
And I thought that a baby blue hoodie with the bolts from the blue logo at the back would look pretty nice, the one in the top left
Not changing this signature until John Gennaro eats his hat.
Also, I was thinking
that instead of having the actual URL Boltsfromtheblue.com you could just have Bolts from the Blue, people can search it up themselves
Not changing this signature until John Gennaro eats his hat.
Not all the apparel will have the URL
Some will just have the logo and stylized “bolts from the blue” like in the logo at the top.

"BoltsFromTheBlue.com: We're better than you."
Then on the back it just says “Yup.”
Or
“BoltsFromTheBlue.com: Our blog will lose to yours in the oddest ways”
Or
“Run Moar, Suck Less.”
Or
“Our linebacker’s neck is bigger than yours”
Are blog is particularly small
’tis a shame

You should keep this post updated on the front page every now and then
Also, another idea for RUN MOAR, do it in the RUN DMC style with the red lines above and below on a black muscle shirt. And the stylized BFTB on the back.

i visited san diego and all i got

On the back..editors and top commenters handles(like dates on a concert shirt)..hashtag underneath…

Could I get a #screwyoucrean on the back of a RUN MOAR t-shirt maybe?
