Around SBN: Africa Cup Of Nations Semifinal: Black Stars Ripe For Upset?

Vote! It's your Camden Chat civic duty.

Last week I asked about interest in having a few Camden Chat t-shirts designed. The response was overwhelmingly positive and you all, creative geniuses that you are, immediately threw up some great ideas. I've listed those ideas in a ballot below the jump so that we can narrow down the field. Please vote for up to five of the ideas you think are the best. I'll keep the ballot open through Wednesday and after announcing the results I'll get to work with the Pro Blog Stores to get them designed and ready for purchase. 

Oh, and one quick thing. Your vote should be based not only on the cleverness/humor of the idea but also of its wear-ability. So if you think it's a great slogan/idea but not one that you'd ever wear on a t-shirt or expect anyone else to, please don't vote for it. 

Star-divide

I decided to use a Google form instead of the regular poll feature so that you could vote for more than one. Technically I cannot stop you from voting for more than five, so you're on the honor system. If you do vote for more than five I may ask you to clarify, or if I'm feeling cranky I'll just toss your ballot out.

I asked for your user name so that I can verify the votes are legit. I can't possibly imagine anyone ballot stuffing such a trivial poll, but you never know. Weirdos hang out on the internet, after all. If you don't have a user name, sign up already! What are you waiting for? 


I'll go ahead and embed this results graph here instead of the comments.

I voted for My Other T-shirt Also Says Cito Sucks and Camden Chat: It’s Always Next Year Here because they’re clever and their humor is a bit more timeless. For example, I’m with Felix is great but it’s an internet meme that going to look dated soon. I have a t-shirt from a work party that says, “I’m an evil sociologist.” Funny at the time when Austin Powers jokes were common, but now it looks horribly dated.

I hope “it’s always next year here” isn’t too timeless. You know one time I’d like it
to really be our year.

Because its just a t-shirt, and probably not a very expensive one

It doesnt have to be timeless. If the design becomes outdated, we can make a new one and print up new ones.

I’m assuming you can’t figure out what the two phrases mean, so to clarify, 3.14 = Pie, and “then” as well as “adn” are both typos.

I feel like the drinking one might be a winner

Orioles fans need to know all about drinking in conjunction with watching baseball. It’s the only way to tolerate it sometimes.

one of my votes was for "best shape"

but I don’t want all the inuries on it.

Camden Chat: We’re in the best shape of our lives!

I voted for a few others as well.

I hope everyone is keeping in mind (stacey mentioned this) that "Pie 3.14159" is going to be as irrelevant...

and worthless as my 45 erik bedard tee shirt jersey at some point soon if he is traded or cut loose

3E1N = great if anyone knows what it means- which I would bet half of the people on here wouldn’t

… by the way stacey- disregard the fact that i may have voted for the PIE shirt- i may have.

But at the end of the day- democracy rules!

There are a lot of great ones here. I tried to avoid ones that were too linked to current players (even adorable ones), so it wouldn’t be obsolete if a particular player is traded.

that the lollygagger 1 tshirt isn’t more popular. I guess it’s not really as prevalent on the Os or at least not that big an issue here

I think Markickass 21 would rock because it’s a cool nickname, and i can wear it at OPACY without anyone being confused by it or asking me to explain it.
