Introducing the BCB Store

Valentine's Day is coming soon. After that, it'll be spring training, Opening Day, the World Series, etc. Today, I'm proud to announce that BCB is helping you solve one of the greatest issues you face on both those and every other day:
What do I wear to properly display my love of Brew Crew Ball to family, strangers, house pets and friends (both real and imaginary)?
Ladies and gentlemen, today I'm proud to introduce the BCB store. Click that link and you'll find all the Brew Crew Ball apparel you could possibly ask for, as long as you were planning on asking for some form of shirt with the BCB logo on it. T-shirts, shirts with long sleeves, shirts with no sleeves, hoodies, hoodies without hoods...they're all there.
Now that the store is up and running, there are two ways you can help us out:
- Go buy shirts. Lots of them. Buy some for yourself. Buy them for your friends. Give them as Valentine's Day gifts*. Wear them. Everywhere.
- Help us grow the store. Right now we've got lots of shirts with the BCB logo on them. That's cool, but we don't have to stop there.
* - I'm not responsible for what happens if you do that.
Here's what I'm proposing. If you have an idea for a BCB shirt, post it in the comments. You can design something yourself, or just describe an idea**. If you like someone's idea, feel free to rec it. The most rec'ed ideas will be considered for addition to the store.
** - Brewers logos past and present and the word "Brewers" are both registered trademarks of the team, so they're off limits. Aside from that, the sky's the limit.
Thanks, and happy shopping!

This would be a challenge, because I'm not sure we can print on both sides
But I like where your head’s at.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
I start my morning with a Frosty Mug.
I root for the Tigers, Pistons, Red Wings and yes, the Lions.

YES!
And in big, bold print, it needs to say RALLY LOBSTER!

So who actually deserves the credit
For designing the BCB logo that’s on top of the site and on all the merch?
I'm not actually sure.
I’ll ask Jeff.

I don't actually know
…but as the site has been redesigned and covered with ads and all that, the logo keeps looking … smaller. Originally it was awesome, now it looks dwarfed and kind of weird. At least to my eyes.
Also, cheese.

I've always wondered that too.

I'm wondering
why does the shirt w/o sleeves cost more than a shirt with sleeves.
"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."
I didn't price the shirts.
No idea. You should buy a bunch of shirts with sleeves, though, cut off the sleeves, and see if you can resell them for more.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Probably because you can offset the price of the sleeveless shirt
by selling tickets to the Gun Show.

So lame
and yet I still laugh whenever I hear it

After the conversation in the comments of Mitch Stetter’s advent calendar page, I figured people would be clued in.
Check Stetter’s B-Ref page for the starting point.

Sorry I haven’t been paying very close attention to those advent calendars.

take the old ball and glove logo
do a mirror image, make it brown (that can’t be covered by the trademark, can it?), and sell it to Cubs fans. At least it’ll bring in lots of money. You’ll be a sellout, but you can’t have your scruples and make money simultaneously.
well 2D object fail on my part anyway
silly me…that’d be md…so…um…have a two-headed snake going up the shaft of the d and attach some angel wings and sell it to doctors.
PAGS FAIL
or pw or qw depending on how you rotate it/flip it.
excuse the rough concept “art” – no photoshop here
Maybe put a mangled royals logo here too:P

brew crew
I work for a company that sells Brewer Merch and we printed a simple t-shirt that said “brew crew” on the front for the last two or three years and just received a cease and desist letter from the Milwaukee Brewers this past fall. Something to keep an eye out for when making your designs.
Something to wathc out for maybe
I doubt there would be the money to fight any lawsuit, but it might be a winnable case. The website has been established for years, it isn’t disparaging the organization in any way and with the BCB logo attached, I don’t believe anyone could reasonably confuse it with any official Milwaukee Brewers outlet. Confusion with the entity in question is generally where the bar is set for copyright law.
Given that there’s a good chance MLB and/or the Brewers organization own the trademark to “Brew Crew” they’d still be within their rights to send the C&D letter without being laughed out of the court if it went to trial.
That's why there should be a Gritty von Canthitalick shirt
with a big picture of Kendall on. I’d love to see the Brewers claim people might think a shirt mocking Kendall would be official merchandise…
"I hope your name is Rick"
A Cubs L flag t-shirt might be nice.
Also, I know someone who has a bunch of NOS brewers T-shirts & jerseys from the early 80’s. He’s had them for years and broke even on them years back. He’s a nice guy, and all business, if you are allowed to sell official merch like this I’m sure he’d make a deal with you so that you could make a nice profit.
I see a possible cooperation
With this site.

Clearly, you're on to something.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Going with the obvious
There has to be one with ‘Math is on our side’, or some variation.
Also, a jersey/shirt with #23 and ‘Runscorer’ as the name.

agree
we have to get a shirt with the infamous quotes. The same shirts on the site with some quotes on the back. I am a BCB poster- I have no concept.

For my own selfish reasons ...
I want a Tee that has one of those racing bibs — like this — on it that reads:
“SPRING TRAINING ’02 MILE RUN
No. 37"
Get a ife broseph
That’s all it needs to say.

I'd want one that just said
YOSTED!
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
so, all the members here buy some merchandise
have your screen name printed on the back. that way when we tailgate, or have the BCB tailgate party, we can all recognize each other.
and yes, I realize that there is no OFFICIAL BCB tailgate. but it would be a nice thought.

It would be weird, all these people yelling "Charlie!" at me

weird = awesome
the beauty is that we DON’T know who you are. we are just a group of brewers fans who only know each other by handle’s like Dikembe or Charlie. i’m gonna sell you on this Charlie. Charlie Marlow

Pass...
… if I had a t-shirt that read Ted Simmons Speed Camp (or even TSSC) I’m pretty sure I’d end up unconscious in the parking lot. Witnesses would describe a person(s) fleeing the scene in a brewcrewball t-shirt.
Anyhoo, I get screamed at and berated enough at work. :)

as a brewers fan
aren’t you used to ending up unconscious in a parking lot? ;)
it is kind of what we do. and i cannot remember the last time you and i weren’t on the same page with our thoughts. you just post yours far more eloquently than i can

Wearing these shirts to tailgate
will be especially awesome for those of us not in Wisconsin. Look for me at the Nats games (a 90 win team) in my Rally Lobster shirt.

… but the sleeveless t-shirt just screams “drunk a-hole” to me.

Shouldn't the sleeveless t-shirts
have the sleeves cut way deeper down the sides of the shirt? for that extra trashy look?
You've got a couple screws missin' up in your toolbox, if you think that you'll stop this man from hittin' moonshots.
If it comes with an unemployed cosmetologist with big hair
I’m in.

Jersey Shirt Idea
- shirt with “Deputy GM” name. If we could put a badge on the front that would be awesome too.
Blow Cubs Blow! Blow Cubs Blow! Hey Milwaukee, what do you say? The Cubs are going to lose today.
Not sure what happened there, it should read #8 shirt with "Deputy GM" name.
