PrintIf you came here looking for Mountain West expansion news, that probably makes sense since this is a Boise State blog and all. But we have more important things to do right now - like decide on a blog T-shirt. (Plus, I have covered MWC expansion ad nauseum over the last four months.)
Full descriptions of the T-shirt nominees are after the jump. Poll is below. Vote for your favorite, and we'll all be rolling in 100% pre-shrunk cotton by July.
The nominees
Many thanks to the T-shirt submissions in Monday's comment section and the ones sent to the tips@obnug.com email address. I only wish that I could make shirts out of all the ideas I received
Here is your list of final candidates. I'll take the top three into consideration for the final design and get some demo shirts mocked-up. Choose wisely, and feel free to share any thoughts, suggestions, ideas, or design tips in the comments.
- An official One Bronco Nation Under God T-shirt. I've always dreamed of wearing my favorite website, and since there are no immediate plans for a Dustin Lapray blog shirt (or would it be a bandanna?), this may be as close as I get. Final design is TBD, but I am confident we can come up with something cool.
- Jeron Johnson likes your girlfriend ... What are you going to do about it? Submitted by reader Moore Walks On Water.
- "They keep underestimating us. I don't know why they keep doing that." - Kyle Wilson Submitted by reader riflemn.
- I Dig Doug. Based on the classic Dig Dug video game, this shirt would be a low-fi tribute to Doug Martin, complete with pixely avatar.
- Colin Kaepernick and the Nevada playbook. Courtesy of Moore Walks On Water, the shirt would include the following plays: Kaepernick left, Kaepernick right, RB up the middle, Incomplete pass.
- Boise State went 14-0 and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.
- Hammer Time. Combining the powers of the Boise State sledgehammer and MC Hammer. Courtesy Jason Haberman.
- Kellen Moore 4 Heisman. Featuring either a Kellen Moore fact (a la Chuck Norris facts), a well-placed headline pun, or both. (Thanks to Mikrino for the tip.)
- University of Idaho FAIL. Take your pick of embarrassing Idaho moments and put them on a T-shirt. An assist to greekpadre and others for suggestions on this shirt.
- Bronco Nation map. A blue and orange United States or a blue and orange Idaho or a blue and orange earth.
Vote away.

Any Way To Produce a "OBNUG Fashion Line"?
There’s too many good ones for just one shirt!
I would LOVE to see Bronco Nation invade Reno this year dressed in the Nevada Playbook t-shirt.
I NEED to own a “I DIG DOUG” shirt.
The “UofI FAIL” line could consist of at least 10-20 shirts all of which would be epic.
Same thing for the “Moore 4 Heisman” line.
“BSU Went 14-0 and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt” could be the first in a long line of “middle fingers” to the BCS.
I’m sure everyone of us would purchase an “OBNUG” shirt.
Who’s with me?

As long as they're made of thin, soft cotton fabric with a thin collar and a roomy cut, I would buy tons too
Think of the pricier Retro T-shirts on the market today. They’re more money, but boy are they ever comfortable.
I hate thick rough cotton T-shirts with thick collars. No matter the cool design, I won’t buy any of those.

I can't believe I didn't post in time.
But, for the geeks in us, this can be used for next year:

had to go to a website for this...but I kinda dig it!
For those who want to know…go to http://www.onlinebarcodereader.com/
Let the Media's excuse begin...again: "It was Boise State's first game of the year!" whilst completely ignoring that it was VaTech's first game, as well.
Rec'd
whipped out the ol’ Barcode Scanner Android app and saw the secret it hides.
Catch me hiding in a Gambino owned brothel in southern Mexico plying himself with tequila and long-legged Costa Rican "actresses".
As an aside...
I was in the stadium selecting a new section to move my season tickets to and some of the team were out there running sprints in the rain.
Well, one of them was Doug Martin. I want to say this without sounding too… weird… but he had his shirt off. Good lord. That guy looks like a Mr. Olympia or something. He is absolutely huge and all cut up. And I was like 40 yards away from him. I was honestly shocked at how rocked out he is.
Woe be the WAC linebackers who have to deal with that. Yikes.
I have attended every home Boise State football game since 1992.
I have to do that this Saturday.
We need to be on the road at 6am to get there by 11am to add two more tickets to our season collection… Really wishing they had a better option for us. In fact, if things go South for the weekend, is there anyone willing to be our proxy?

DOH!
Thank you Intern and broncoitis. I was just about to sign, pdf, and e-mail you my select-a-seat appointment (very sick still) when I read my time was today at 11-11:45am. I think I’m going to cry. I’ll have to call the ticket office on Monday and see if it’s too late to change my account. Thank you both for your offer of assistance.

If Doug was exactly 40 yards away from you
then you could have been dead shook hands in about 4.4 seconds.
Obviously you're not a golfer...

Don't feel weird Jason
I was standing next to Doug Martin (literally about 10 feet away) at the festivites before the spring game and I couldn’t help but stare at his arms. It felt like they were tractor beaming me in….it was a little scary.
"Hi, my name is Doug. I enjoy walks in the rain and bags of pork rinds."
If You Have Time Realize Doug Wants....
You dead to shake your hand, it’s already too late.

In the same boat as Moore WoW
A lot of good ones… I really, really want to vote for the Kaepi playbook (I’m assuming he’s the one running up the middle), but it seems more like a game-day shirt. I had to place my vote elsewhere. We really should consider advertising them for Bronco travelers to Reno, like MooreWalks said.
"Everyone counted us out. I don't know why they keep doing that." -- Kyle Wilson
Absolutely
I could see just about all of the nominees on a t-shirt. And of course, I would own all of them. I voted for the Kyle Wilson quote but I would be happy with almost any of them.
"Hi, my name is Doug. I enjoy walks in the rain and bags of pork rinds."
idea
Hey Kevan,
How about doing an OGNUG t-shirt, in addition to the t-shirt selected from the other nominees? It seems that the OBNUG shirt should “stand alone,” and not be grouped with the other 9 nominees.
Well.
We can just add an OBNUG logo to any of the shirts, including web address.

unless there is severe copyright infringement.
In which case you’d probably want your name left off of it.
Boise State - The best in all the land (The "land" being Idaho, and large parts of California, Oregon, and Nevada.) Now also including Fort Worth, TX and coming soon this fall, Washington D.C.!
Not a bad idea
I’ll definitely consider it.

I like that idea
I voted for kyle wilson’s quote, it’d look cool with the obnug logo on front and the website address on the back…I’d love to have that shirt, hopefully it wins

didn’t Marty Tadman say something like that after Fiesta 07? I can remember that his quote was filled with such contempt…..

your welcome.
I can email you the design I saved at customink.com if you want it.
I figured this would be a perfect shirt for the student body to wear to this year’s rivalry game.

That would be great!

but here’s my slightly-revised DougSprite:

Print on Demand?
Kevan -
Will you be using a print-on-demand site (like CafePress, Zazzle, or Printfection) or selling them directly through obnug.com? Using the print-on-demand sites allows you to make numerous shirts and get some royalty all without the hassle of shipping/handling and keeping an inventory.
It will be print-on-demand-esque
You’re right. The print-on-demand makes it much easier to branch out with multiple designs. There are a couple of guys we’ll work with so hopefully we can reach a happy medium and get the most out there.
