Yeah, they may have wanted to think about this one a little harder.

the shhh part is what makes it bad...before I scrolled down I thought it was the "we take what we want" part...which is innocent...especially when on a buccaneer or raider flag

Yeah, someone knew... They thought they were being clever/funny.

It's also not that great considering the Native American standing there and the third "subtle" reference to that historical context.

lol

With all the hazing *cough* anal finger rape *cough* in the news, you'd think high school football players would have just a little more sensitivity to this kind of stuff right now.

The life of a t-shirt artist is not an exciting one...Somebody was laughing themselves to sleep for a few nights...I love a good double-entendre as much (maybe more) than the next guy, but that is not one of the good ones...Amazing that didn't come up when they came out of the box...The cro-magnon football players with which I was forced to deal in school might not have picked up on it...(definitely not the idiotic coach) but somebody in the school should have noticed right away...simply astounding!

Hmmm must didn't run that pass the principal, just about ever school shirt we do has to be approved by the principal here.  I've learned when student's come in here with there designs I always ask is this for the school or an outside project. because we've had that happen here, where the design they wanted would not pass school code.

Yep, all school designs are OK'd by administration, and if we see something they don't we bring it up...

There is a community just North of me that we service...They pride themselves in their affinity for beer...(Predominately of German ancestry) Every year the HS graduation parties are kinda geared that way...Seems like the kids have heard that "we're cool", and keep come to us for party tees (instead of the printer right across the street from the school, who, I am assuming declined their business!)...boss kinda gigged me out a couple years ago  because one of the little idjits wore his shirt to school, and we got a call from the principal...I told them that if they want to censor stuff, go ahead, my job is to sell art...the kids liked the shirts as much as the principal hated them...Not a school sanctioned event obviously...so school really didn't have leg to stand on  (we keep taking the kid's orders, and I sleep fine.)

This was one that caused quite a stir in my area a few years back.

If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
