WCC Retro Shirts

We need to go all the way back to the Cliffdwellers with this one.

Yes, yes it does. It also has a caricature of John Cox moping at the end of the bench.

Yeah, ours is lame. I hate to say it, but, it looks like a woman's night shirt for a slumber party. Maybe someone could buy up some of them and a few white pom poms to replace the silver ones and make a charitable donation to the cheerleading team. They could use some new materials or supplies for the Vegas trip.

I just checked back at the site and here was the exchange between me and apparently a guy who works there:

   I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the concept and half of those shirts are pretty
   amazing, however as a UP alumnus I can’t help but wonder how a “retro
   design” is based off a logo created by Nike 4 years ago… Seriously, we
   have a number of old school logos that would have made a very cool
   T-shirt…

   That is just one offering for the moment. We’ll have you covered with some much older logos VERY soon…hang tight & thanks!
   

So maybe there is hope??

Did you ask about the large price tag, too?

Baby steps.... Well that or we'll just have to whip up our own, more affordable, rendition....

Your way too positive and nice with that message.It must from all that time hanging out with Stonehouse,lol. No more roadtrips to Pacific games for you and Stoney and his other favorite teams green and gold friend,lol.

J/K nicely done DTR but I wouldn't hold your breath for any new selections until they dump the 4 yr old "retro's" .

Well, I did try and be diplomatic so they wouldn't delete my post completely... yeah well, when they don't sell any $38 retros because of a stupid design I wonder whether they'll even make the effort.

That was great intiative to e mail though. You could have just been like me and bit@@ed about it and not done something constructive like you did.

I think its time for me to complain about the taxpayers having to pay for some mid-level FEMA pencil pusher who rode business class.Jeezswith the economy the way it is were upgrading "Browny" jrs (remember George W.'s Katrina gaff) from coach to business class on our taxpayer money. He sure could play a mean game of solitary on his government issued puter all the way from Phoenix to Portland.

Onward to more positive happenings tonight....

Crowd estimate is only 1800-2000 folks. That means you can buy a cheap ticket and sneak around the rent a cop/ushers to better seats (didnt hear it from me) put a little thrill in your night PN fans

Gotta thank Dons Central for pointing this out, but looks like they came up with a 2nd round of retro shirts, and UP got a new one...

Not a bad blend of the new P and the old wheel, at least sounds like they tried to listen to our harping. Not sure if it is $38 good, but I'm definitely considering this one.

If they were really trying to go retro, why use gold print? And the new P?

I dont know... I still think they could have done much better. (But all the more reason for a PN retro shirt....)

Agreed, I love the SMC one:


and the Pepp. one

Sigh, but honestly, we all know UP's aptitude at cool shirt creation has been mediocre at best, so that could be the best this website had to work with... Haha, I think we might have some archive sifting to do...
