Spring Training t-shirt contest!!!

Fellow Rowbots, are you creative? Do you have a rapier wit you're willing to reveal in public? Purple Row Cares is looking for a funny slogan or a slick design to represent the Purple Row t-shirts this spring. Last year we came up with some cool shirts, but it's time to take it to the next level!

Last year Purple Row Cares donated profits to the Mike Coolbaugh Foundation  and the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Denver. The winner of this year's contest will win two things:

1.) Having the satisfaction of knowing their idea will contribute towards helping the lives of the needy.

2.) A free t-shirt representing their design or slogan!

The snow is melting, cactus are in bloom and pitchers are tweaking hammy's so let's create some shirts and flood Tucson with Purple Row Pride! To view more of the Purple Row t-shirts visit our shop at Cafe Press.

******* UPDATE *********

New shirt added to Purple Row Cares.

Shipping options are available as quickly as 1 day..

and up to 2 weeks. Although 10 days was the longest I’ve had to wait for a shirt. I plan on making these shirts available in the value option for $13 to offset shipping costs.

To me this shirt says “I’m a Rockies fan trapped in Arizona” :-)

Add a row of purple lawn chairs...

to complete the scene.

Purple lawnchairs + a bottle of Rockahol

Out of curiosity,

when is the deadline for the design? Charlie77 asked me to do one, but I’ve also got another design in the works, and was curious how long I had on that one.

I'm sorry guys..

I’ve been to the doctor’s three times this week with different members of my little family. Some kind of stomach flu is going around.

…ok that was messy, my son just threw up in the kitchen while I was writing this.

If someone can help me combine the submissions, or do some photoshop work with the ideas provided I would appreciate it. It’s just a bad time for me right now.

Spring training shirts are now available!!

I made a fanshot of it in case this page gets bumped. Also, Lunchbox, if you can email me your design I will place it on a shirt and enter your name for the contest. Right now Prettyinpurple is in the lead since I am using her bottle idea and Rockahol idea.
