I'm not sure if by 'stickers' people mean like the stuff you put on notebooks or of the bumper variety (as in, car-friendly). Bumper stickers would rock my socks off! I don't have any bumper stickers on my car cause I don't have anything I really love that I wanna have people know about (that they make bumper stickers for), but a good footbag bumper sticker would just make my day/month/year.

I really like this idea. But I also really wished that shirt said "No, I do not play soccer." instead. I'd buy one if it did.

I like that way better. I would buy that.

Note for Jeremy: This is an actual "I will buy one" and not an "I'll say I'll buy one but really I won't". Just in case you were wondering.

I like Johnny's slogan much better also.

It should also be increased in size to around 9 inches wide to fit the shirt better and thus be more readable from afar.

why not put "I hate footbag" on a shirt? Ill buy that right now, let me get a credit card first

I also would like a "play footbag or die" shirt

And yeah, Johnny's statment seems a lot better-- more representative of what we're trying to say.

But I also wanted to thank Jeremy for getting the ball rolling on this idea. I think it's a good thing for modified and footbag as a whole; there's some more exposure for the sport and it generates some revenue. Plus, who doesn't like funky swag?

I think you missed the point of the shirts. It's not to promote footbag or modified. There are plenty of footbag shirts out there - so if you want to promote footbag go buy one of those - or better yet - play footbag and people who are interested will come and talk to you and you can tell them all about it. Right now you could go buy a shirt from the IFPA at footbag.org. The shirt is just a joke that footbaggers would understand - it's something that would probably only be appreciated by other footbaggers. It may well interest people who will wonder why you're wearing a shirt that says "I hate soccer" - but that's purely incidental. I really see no humour in "I don't play soccer" - maybe if you're playing footbag in the shirt but it seems like a pretty weak slogan. Hey if you want to wear a shirt that says that - I'm sure you can design it yourself.

Yeah, I'm with Jeremy on that.

I'm shit broke, myself. I'd like one, but just can't afford it.

I think that people would wonder more about why you are wearing a shirt that says "No, I do not play soccer.". Maybe thats just me.

I like Zeke's. I had that as my desktop background for like a year. I'd buy a shirt like that.

How about a t-shirt that reads:

NO
I don't play soccer
I don't do karate
I sure as hell don't Riverdance

Footbag Damn It
That's it.

I'd buy that too

How about:

Do you know what ripwalk > sidewalk > blizzard > parkwalk > beta blur > smog > beta smear > dimwalk > blur > dimwalk > ripwalk > blurry whirl > blur > phoenix > ps whirl means...

I do

P.S. I just copied Jeremys tripless run from http://modified.ca/footbag/viewtopic.php?t=8979. If you guys have a better run use that.

bigdirtyfoot · Post by **bigdirtyfoot** » 02 Jun 2005 06:57

Dude I like that idea. But I think it would be cool if it was something like Vasek's most recent shred 30, and it said:

Blurry Whirl > Stepping Whirl > Sidewalk > Blurrier > Blizzard > Pixie ss Doubledown > Blur > Dimwalk > Sidewalk > Blizzard > Paradon > Barfly > Pdx Whirl > Pdx Whirl > Barfly > DownDoubleDown > Stepping far Osis > Ripwalk > Spinning Butterfly > Stepping Far Osis > Ripwalk > Spinning Butterfly > Blurry Whirl > Superfly > PS Whirl > PS Whirl > Spinning Whirl > Scorpion's Tail > Whirlwind > Mobius.

Or maybe not. But I think it's a neat idea that could definitely be expanded upon.

it represents what im trying to say, so die

i hate soccer is a bad idea, its not what im trying to say, I play soccer as a lot of people I see do. What is there "to get"? I don't take it personal, others would be turned off to not approach me anymore. I just think its a lame idea. I hate footbag would be just as good, I mean, don't we all sometimes ?

I hate tennis maybe?
I hate drilling?

I would never buy that shirt, sorry

or, "I hate t-shirts that only serve the purpose of showing off how i am a member of an elite group that not many others are a part of."

or just "i hate t shirts" that would be funny

Or, "If you can read this, thank modified.ca"

Like the bumper stickers with a line of music, and then, "If you can read this, thank a music teacher."
