Vancouver 2010 Tshirts, Caps, Olympic Tshirts

The Vancouver Olympics are just around the corner! Opening ceremonies begin on Friday. According to contactmusic.com: "Canadian singer MICHAEL BUBLE and actor/politician ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER are joining in the celebrations at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Canada - they will take part in the torch relay race ahead of the opening ceremony. Schwarzenegger will be one of the runners ferrying the Olympic flame to the city of Vancouver before the event kicks off at the BC Place venue on Friday (12Feb10), while Canadian native Buble will take part in the race on Thursday (11Feb10)."
Olympic gear and paraphenalia are always hot items before, during and long after the games. If you can't make it to Vancouver or Whistler, here's some gear you can order on the web, and have ready for the hockey finals!

New Orleans Saints Champs Tshirts and Jerseys

The New Orleans Saints, and Drew Brees, won Super Bowl 44 last night, and an awesome victory it was! I have to say, in the first half, I didn't think they had a chance. The play calling seemed suspect, and Peyton Manning was looking intimidating. But what a turnaround in the second half! It was ALL Saints and it was AWESOME!

That said, it's amazing how fast the Super Bowl Champ tshirts, flags, shot glasses and other victory swag gets out there. Here's some of what you can buy now! Use the code FREESHIP to get free shipping on orders of $50 or more at Fansedge (details on their site).

That's why anyone who lived through this one is going to remember it for a long time.

Whistler and Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics T shirts

The Winter Olympics are only a week away (beginning Feb 12). I was in British Columbia last week, and the buzz is hot and the merchandise is expensive! So if you are going, but you want to save a buck or two, here's a tip. Buy your Olympic t-shirts before you go! There are some good deals right now, you'll pay a lot less, and you won't have to waste your precious time shopping in overpriced shops. Here are a few items you can find in the NBC OLYMPICS store (click the banner link beneath the images to buy):

LOST Starts Tonight! LOST t-shirts

Shut off the cell phone, lock the door, order the pizza, and kick back because tonight is going to ROCK! The start of the new, and final, season, of Lost. If this isn't the best TV on TV, I don't know what is. I don't expect every mystery to be addressed, every conundrum to be resolved, every question to be answered. But I do expect an awesome show filled with all my favorite characters. Who doesn't love Hugo "Hurley" Reyes?

Will Juliet come back, or is she, as her name implies, tragically done for? And if so, does that mean Sawyer is her Romeo, who will commit a heroic act that will seal his demise? And if he does, where will that leave Kate?
Is Sayid really dead? Perhaps that's all right; the tortured torturer finally finds peace and redemption (although nothing can really redeem a torturer, in my eyes.)
What about Ben Linus? Who is he? Is he good or evil? And is Desmond no longer unstuck in time? Can Drive Shaft have another hit, without Charlie? How did the Man in Black manage to shapeshift into the spitting image of Locke?
And what, if anything, do those numbers mean?

New Orleans, the Super Bowl and Who Dat T shirts

I don't know anyone outside of Indianapolis proper who doesn't want the New Orleans Saints to win the Super Bowl this year. Peyton Manning may look formidable to some, but to the Who Dat Nation, he's just another obstacle in what they see as their guerdon.

I don't personally have a dog in this race, but my head says Colts while my heart says Saints. With the WHO DAT t-shirt controversy behind us, we can all safely buy our Who Dat? Saints gear without fear of the NFL knocking on our door to confiscate it.

An Easy Way You Can Help Haiti

We give regularly to Doctors without Borders, and to Unicef, and the Red Cross. We give all the time, to all kinds of causes. But Haiti seems different to us. It's a catastrophe that almost defies understanding. These were people who had very little to begin with, and now have nothing. The magnitude of the casualties is also beyond comprehension - maybe 200,000. This on an island nation just a few hundred mils off our shores.
There are many ways that generous Americans have been giving, and here is one more. Shopkeepers at Zazzle have joined forces to create a shop selling beautiful stickers and refrigerator magnets, with all the designer profits going to Hope for Haiti, a 501 non-profit charitable organization whose mission is to improve the quality of life for the Haitian people, particularly children, through education, nutrition, and healthcare.

Here are a few samples of the beautiful stickers and magnets you can purchase, with the knowledge that you are making a difference. Click any design or click HEREto go to the shop and buy, buy, buy! If you can't afford to buy, then at least spread the word about this great shop via facebook, twitter or other means.

(Update: Zazzle, the company that prints the stickers, has committed to matching the profits from sales, and that is great news!)

Who's Dressing Rafa Nadal?

Yipes. Is Nike responsible for this atrocity? I guess I can forgive the t-shirt, although it looks uncomfortably tight at the neck, and makes Nadal look like Dennis the Menace. I actually like the color on Rafa, he looks good in hot spicy tones like this. But the shorts? Eek. There's what looks like a windowpane check to them, in yellow, and man, that is UGLY. And then there's the question of the headband and one wristband being a sort of peachy color that might match the stripe of the shirt, when he's not sweating. But the headband goes red, and the stripe goes dark, and nothing matches, once it all gets wet.

One wonders, did Rafa put his foot down and insist on only ONE pink wristband?

We love him, anyway! And we'd love to see him in this:

Haiti Earthquake Help T - shirts

I've gotten a number of requests from people asking if there is someplace they can buy t-shirts that will help in the relief effort for Haiti, following that horrible Haiti earthquake. The answer is yes. We are only mentioning the ones we have checked out and know for a fact are legit. While buying a t-shirt isn't the quickest way to get money to Haiti, it can serve a couple of functions -- spreading the word, and showing that you're philanthropic.

Blink 182 Haiti T-Shirt $15 (shipping not included) with all proceeds going to The Red Cross. This item will start shipping on January 22nd.

Special-edition t-shirt designed by Studio Number One (founded Shepard Fairey) for Cafepress. $15 (shipping not included). 100% of the retail price for this shirt will be donated to the U.S. Fund for Unicef.


Help Haiti T shirt and Apparel by Scarebaby
Help Haiti T-shirt from $16.65 at Zazzle. Shopkeeper has already donated to Doctors Without Borders, because she didn't want to wait until sales cleared (30-45 days), and will donate more if sales are made.
