T-shirts for Cal vs. U$C - "See Ball, Get Ball"

by JerrottWillard45 on Sep 18, 2009 12:31 AM EDT on California Golden Blogs

OK, I made a few different versions. I thought long and hard about it. It's very important to me to tell all the quiet people sitting behind me to make some noise, so that goes on the back. I plan to be a total nutcase at the $C game about firing people up and getting loud.

It's very hard to settle on a design. I like lots of the elements, and some of them serve different purposes. It's all a compromise.

Oh well, as long it has See Ball Get Ball on it, I think it will kick ass.

Check out 4 options and then speak up.

Here is the original:

Front 1 (via lewisad) Back 1 (via lewisad)

Here's another version - notably simplified:

Front 2 (via lewisad) Back 2 (via lewisad)

Version III - definitely getting cleaner:

Front 3 (via lewisad) Back 3 (via lewisad)

Version 4: Same front as 3 - Simple Back

Front 4 (via lewisad )Back 4 (via lewisad)

I'm leaning towards 4 myself.

OK, so if I order them on Friday I can get them for the U$C game. If I sense enough enthusiasm, I'll do it!!!!

I think I'll order at least 8, and use 4 of them among my friends, and sell the rest to anyone who wants one for $10 (at a loss, b/c I love you guys). If you make a good hardship case, I'll probably give it to you for free. I'm not looking to make a profit - I want to beat $C!!!

Come to Section T, approximately 30 rows up, right against the student section, and look for some dorks wearing one of these. Come before the game starts, or at half-time, b/c otherwise I'll be too busy yelling to give you a shirt.

Now vote for the best design in the poll. If you actually want to come and get one, please say so in the comments -AND SAY WHAT YOU SIZE YOU WANT (S/M/L/XL), so I can get an idea for demand.

I am serious about this. Please vote ASAP.

Cal Defense: "See Ball, Get Ball."

Cameron Jordan was part of the Tuesday press conference:

CAMERON JORDAN:

On the attitude of the defensive line: "Our coaches have installed the no-loaf mentality, hustling after the ball. See ball, get ball — real basic."

I thought that phrase, "See ball, get ball", was just so awesome, so devoted to our love of getting a turnover from the Defense, so incredibly to the point (NAILED IT), that I want us to adopt it as a motto. (Not the only motto of course, but it just rocks.)

It's not that it sounds great chanted out loud, but I think it looks great in print.

In fact, it looks so great, I wanted to design a T-shirt around it. Fortunately, that's easy these days:
