I LOVE the 'I hate soccer' shirt.
I think that's awesome.

And I disagree with Sam. I think footbag will either appeal to a person, or not. Simple as that. I really doubt that a t-shirt will dictate if a person is going to start playing or not.
To wear a shirt that says 'I hate soccer' is not alienating soccer fans. It's more of a rebelious attitude toward the attitudes expressed toward us as footbag players.

Besides, it's not like you're going to stab the next person who says "Wow! You must be good at soccer."

Great idea Jeremy.
And I like Zeke's idea of waterbottles, too. Simple, but effective.

(Albeit, I do kind of want an anti-river dancing shirt...)

We shouldn't be flaming anybody. I showed my little cousins a vid of Vasek & they practically shit themselves. However, once my uncle walked by he exclaimed, "That's pretty gay"-in front of 11 yr old kids...

Yeah. I asked not to use that as a derogatory term & turned around.

It's almost like, the older you get-the more immature you become...Anyways-the point is. I could've said, "Your son plays football. That's a sport where men wrestle each other to the ground as one guy in tights tosses a ball to another. You want to place homophobia somewhere-it should probably lay in the endzone

"

Anyone can be give shit for anything they do-we should try and keep it positive & open minded.

Modified condoms would be great, but I'm too young to do anything with it.

I'm not sure if this makes much sense, since I'm not too familiar with the set-up on modified, but how much does it cost to keep this forum running? If we could find out the cost of bandwidth, it might be cool to give a bit of the modified merchandise money to help support the site.

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 30 May 2005 08:34

at the moment it costs nothing to run the site

- Although the mods work hard - maybe they should get paid

Anyway I think I'll go ahead with the "I hate soccer" shirts - I live the idea too and if not enough people like that - I'll change the address at the bottom to www.ausfootbag.org and still donate the profits to the IFPA

I like the idea of a water bottle, but I feel stickers would be better. They can be put on a water bottle and anywhere else. I think actually making modified (or anything) water bottles is pointless.

I like the shirts Jeremy made and would consider buying one depending on the cash flow.

that shirt has nipples but no body...

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 30 May 2005 09:15

The nipples are built into the shirt so that you'll appear more attractive to the opposite sex.

Wait til you see the g-strings...

Guest_2 · Post by **Guest_2** » 30 May 2005 09:27

Is that why men have nipples?

Splint · Post by **Splint** » 30 May 2005 09:33

Does anyone else notice that whenever someone talks about different gear everyone starts in with "I'd buy water bottles, or hoodies, or stickers, or patches, or g-strings etc..."

It's too bad there isn't enough money to start a full blown footbag gear company that could afford to sell one item to everyone who wants something different.

Ok to buy your modified - I hate soccer t-shirts - go here:

https://www.cafepress.com/moddystore

Cost is $14 US plus postage and handling ($4) - people in California might have to pay some kind of tax too (I really don't know).

$5 from each shirt sale (ie 100% of the profit) will go to the IFPA.

That site (www.cafepress.com) is actually really cool in that you can get shirts (or whatever) organised without having to pay any costs at all. I guess this makes things more expensive but it also made it very easy for me to organise the shirt.

Perhaps we could turn my account into a communal account - so that other people could design shirts/bags/bottles/gstring whatever and sell them too (providing we continue to put all profits to the IFPA or other footbag organisations). Really if we were to do this it would be best to upgrade to a premium account since otherwise we can only have one logo on each item (so only one shirt like this) - we could use funds from selling the shirts to do this. Anyway buy those shirts for the good of the IFPA. - I can't wait to see how they turn out

how bout something like this?

EDIT: Can anyone see the pic?

DoctorJay · Post by **DoctorJay** » 30 May 2005 13:27

I would buy a modified shirt but not this one, sorry.

I think this slogan is bullshit !

I mean why should I hate soccer ?
I do not get the clou about this statement.

If there are another shirt you can count me in , if I can identify myself with the slogan.

ts ts ts - I hate soccer - ts ts ts

did you read the explanation anyway ? I don't think so.
Look at "professor"s signature; you'll get it

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 30 May 2005 14:47

seriously...we should do a poll on how many footbaggers play or have played soccer. probably not all that many. certainly not i.

quadgun · Post by **quadgun** » 30 May 2005 15:04

I was thinking something like ...

I dropped soccer for footbag.

bigdirtyfoot · Post by **bigdirtyfoot** » 30 May 2005 15:29

Now, I don't really hate soccer or anything.... I'm not sure if I'll get that shirt. But we'll see.

I've always wanted Modified shirts or JERSEYS with people's screen names and real names on the back. I think it would be phat to show up at a tourney and pick out people by their modified name.

Just an idea though.

comastalker · Post by **comastalker** » 30 May 2005 16:19

I also don't hate soccer, but that's not the point of that shirt.
btw, david, your sig makes me feel really stupid;
I got one of the old 4-digit UINs in ICQ.... then went for 5 for several years and last year I reinstalled ICQ and got a 9-digit number

Zeke · Post by **Zeke** » 30 May 2005 17:01

I had this idea a few years ago. If there was enough interest I could add http://modified.ca/footbag on there somewhere. Actually I'd have to redo the whole thing at a higher resolution but it's mostly text so it not a big deal.
