Over The Monster T-Shirts: We Need Your Ideas!

I know it's been on your mind all winter. You've been sitting in your pajamas and L.L. Bean sweatshirt on the couch in your living room watching the 2004 ALCS on rewind for what seems like forever. And every time you see "the steal," you wonder: "Hey, I need an Over The Monster t-shirt to keep me warm."
OK, so maybe it hasn't gone quite like that.
Nevertheless, here's your opportunity. We at OTM are about to set up a store for everything related to OTM apparel. But there's a snag, and it's a pretty big one...
We ain't too smaht, as my dad used to say. I've had ideas in the past for t-shirts/sweatshirts/whatever, but I've never had any GREAT ideas. This is a huge sticking point, as you can tell, because I don't want to print anything that isn't absolutely great. So this is where you folks come in.
WE NEED IDEAS FOR APPAREL. Not what kind of apparel, but what it should say on those t-shirts and hats and sweatshirts and the like. We want whatever you got for ideas: witty, serious, absolutely foolish. Any and all ideas will be accepted and debated.
I'm looking to make at least one design, perhaps up to three. But this is where it gets sweeter: YOU SUBMIT AN IDEA, WE CHOOSE IT AND YOU GET A FREE T-SHIRT. Yeah, I'll dig into my own pockets and buy you a t-shirt. I'll even ask what size you wear, 'cause nobody likes getting a t-shirt two sizes too small.
Even if you just have an awesome inside joke or slogan, we could use that. Don't worry about pitching us ideas for graphics; we, hopefully, can figure that out down the line. But if you DO have some ideas for that, we'd definitely like to hear them. You can leave ideas in the comments or e-mail me directly at RBOOTH at OVERTHEMONSTER dot COM.
So bring on the ideas. Give us the funny, the witty, the "oh em gee this is amazing we got to do this" ideas. Whatever you got, we want to hear it. And if you're lucky enough, you'll be wearing one of these bad boys for Opening Day.

How did you know I watch the 2004 in rewind?
I am not sure of a logo or anything like that but it would be cool to have our screennames on the back like a jersey. Obviously this would cost extra, but the option would be cool.
Picture this- a graphic of a beat-up green monstah (the wall, not the mascot), with the caption "Sox Abuse"
I’ll try to think of some more

This really made me laugh, and I don’t know why.

hmm, maybe laughing and not knowing why could be a shirt...

Have a picture of Clay pitching on the front.
And on the back: “The Buchh Stops Here: Over The Monster.”

-Tug McGraw
Good start
But I can think of a few other words besides “stupid” that would be even better.
Thought of this one just after my first one.
Red shadow silhouettes of Youk and Dusty with the slogan, “Let’s paint the town red.”
I'm diggin' that...

Even better...
“Over the Monster got rich off my slogan and all I got was this kick ass t-shirt.”
Just put that picture of Randy and Heidi Watney on a t-shirt.

Beautiful
Pure genius.

If this was the shirt
I want OTM Faithful to wear it around Fenway and for Heidi to see it. I wonder what kind of reaction that would get…

Nice one.

Simple
Just have a player hitting a ball
But replace the ball with a picture of Massarotti’s head.
Maybe even make it, like, a pitching machine, with Borges and Shaughnessy on the way.

"Chicks dig sitting (or standing) over the monster"
then have a sketch or a picture of a couple (or more) of bikini babes on the monster cheering or waving. the sexier the better. sex sells.
of course, the girls bikini’s are genuine red sox bikinis.

I think we need multiple context-based shirts
For example, the Halos Heaven Shirt (for playing the Angels)
“OVER THE MONSTER:” above a stylized picture of John Lackey’s face, with the legend “ALL YOUR WORLD SERIES-WINNING PITCHERS ARE BELONG TO US” below it

I will never wear a shirt with John Lackey on it.

What if it was a shirt with Lackey, Youk, and Pedroia saying
“Hey, you’d sleep with them, right?”

T-shirt idea
I remember my brother telling me a michigan blog was thinking about the same thing. Like put “Over the Monster” in Red Sox font on the front and put our screenname on the back.
i think you should use my signature> its one of the best things ive ever heard anybody say, and it came from right here at otm

We have a beat on at least one idea
And it was brewed off of an idea above. So there’s one t-shirt that will go out to a user!
I’m still trying sorting through ideas and thinking of more fresh ones for another t-shirt idea…

Over The Monster
“Because ‘saber’ sounds cool in front of everything.”
“Over the Monster:
Perfecting the champaign riverdance since 2007.”
“1918 this.”
“Get it done Theo!”
“I’m a 7 WAR player in bed”
I love that last one...
…we might have to make that happen.

Kinda reminds me of my sig, that last one.

Yeah, I saw that right after I posted this.
And was like “Aw crap, unintentional plagiarism.”
I like the first one
plus, the second-last one could also be applicable to Jose Theodore

ANY GOOD GRAPHIC DESIGNERS IN THE HOUSE?
I need someone to silhouette this badboy. Preferably in red.:

Nothing on OTM should endorse that bafoon's actions or ego
Looking back, all the attention he got from that night and the ALCS win celebration is when his head started getting big and he started talking too much. I like the pre-2007 AL East champion Papelbon much better than the post version. Don’t feed the monster.
Trade Beckett !!!
Something along the lines with Pujols...
OverTheMonster…where Pujols is really a Red Sox
OverTheMonster…have we traded for Pujols yet?
~ ROLL TIDE ~
GO SOX!!
nah, I don't really like that
The idea of good-guy superstars like Mauer or Pujols playing for another team (especially the Yankees, but also the Sox) just seems wrong.

"Over the Monster
But under the radar"
“Free hugs for Sox Fans”
“Here’s to 86 years of winning”
“My other team is also the Red Sox”
“Best UZR/150 among all couch potatoes”
“If it isn’t from Boston, it isn’t worth watching.”
“Dirty Water”
You could just make a shirt with the scoreboard across the bottom and the seats near the collar.
“Shortstop? We don’t need no stinking shortstop.”
“Cry havoc! And let loose the dogs of WAR!”
“I’d be surly too if my OPS was that low.”
“There are no adequate metrics for the power of love.”
I know!
It’s too bad this thread has gone so far down. I want a shirt!

OTM
“No freakin PB around these parts”
or a picture of Leigh Texiereia with a giant X over her face
or “Everyone at OTM has slept with PB”
or “Turn, Turn, Turn”
or a picture of Julian Tavarez rolling the ball “hatchet face with a strike”
Trade Beckett !!!
Shirts
Why not a fan in Monster seats attempting to catch the home run with head turned as the ball flies over head on front?
Course the fan would have on a Red Sox hat and glove on and I’d prefer a Yank*** Suck shirt on the fan.
Then on the back, someone yelling, “it’s gone!”
I also like the idea of lyrics of Neil Diamond’s song with Red Sox players’ faces on it.
