I’m gonna sound real dense here but I don’t get it. Is it the Boston accent?
Also, WTF is with the Leafs website? I’ve been waiting for a Game in 6 for 45 minutes now. It’s usually up by now.
I hope the Habs find some game and at least wear out the Bruins a bit tomorrow night. With what passes for physicality on their team.

OK, I just uploaded the artwork to Zazzle so anyway who wants a t-shirt can get one.
http://www.zazzle.com/hackey_night_in_toronto_tshirt-235779783471321150
I have no idea what the quality is like, but it seems like a popular web site and the file I uploaded was high resolution so it should be good to go…
Very possibly ordering one of those.
I’ve heard Zazzle is pretty good. They make some shirts that may or may not be about Jason Blake:

This is fucking awesome from the Star game recap:
“All right, it was more of a wrestling match,” said Kessel, who, after the room had cleared, asked a reporter, “I won the fight, though, right? I got the W?”

Couple weeks ago, asked Phil if he was disheartened about going from the East’s best team to one of its worst and if he’d expected this coming in. His response?
“I think we got a good hackey team here.”

Hi
I just bought this shirt (for serious) and am going to wear it on national television as soon as it arrives in the mail.
Really good looking in real life.
I don't care if Savard makes less than Kessel
Kessel Made Savard. He’s worth every pick. Does everything. Taylor Hall will never get into a fight and win

We need to work a donchaknow in there somewhere. My fiancee’s family are all from Wisconsin and she slips into the accent when she’s really tired. It’s pretty funny.
Example, people from there call it ’Scahnsin

Ruh-oh! Did you just order it now and get that message? or was it when the order was processed? I wonder if the conflict is Philthy Phil’s face or with the leafs logo… I could always change the logos to generic blue maple leafs.
got the same message about two hours after placing the order.
by Evening News Team on Dec 4, 2009 1:39 PM EST up reply actions
Like Evening News, it came an hour or two by email after the order was “successfully” placed. I suspect it’s Phil’s image because of teh reference to “individual’s rights of ceelbrity/publicity”. I don’t know how Zazzle works but as a lawyer I suspect they have some process whereby the first time a particular logo is ordered they review it for obvious red flags. Using someone’s face is one, unfortunately.
In other words, I expect this is standard corporate policy, not any interference from Philthy Phil or his people.
It was worth it just to be able to email my buddies about the awesome Xmas present they were going to get.

hmmmm
i have received no such notice, and I ordered mine almost directly after it was available…payed through PayPal as well

by blurr1974 on Dec 4, 2009 2:00 PM EST up reply actions
Hopefully you slipped through the cracks…
67’Sound, if the maple leafs logo was changed to be generic and we left Phil’s face do you see a legal problem? Is there some law about changing an image enough and it being fair game? ie. it’s one colour and stylized.
If there was enough interest I could ask my cousin, a very talented screen printer, to do a run of these. He makes awesome t-shirts (www.zeroboutique.com) and has his shop just down the street. I would have have to change the design to one colour but I don’t think anyone would miss the yellow ring around the edge.
Maybe we can get a count of how many people got their order through and how many got the shitty content issue warning.
What a drag!
i had a similar issue with an image of Wendel Clark I used, so it may not be just the Leafs logo, but Kessel’s likeness as well.
Hopefully not, as we’ll be forced to demand MLSE make this shirt, with 10% of all profits going to Likely (and a 5% finders for me, ’natch….)
I have nothing interesting to say.
by blurr1974 on Dec 4, 2009 2:24 PM EST up reply actions
I suspect it’s the face, though the logo could be a problem too. I’m not an IP lawyer but I know you can get in hot water for using a celebrity’s face without permission. As a practical matter no one is likely to sue for a few people printing something up for fun but I suspect MLSE would be more Disney-esque in terms of cracking down on unauthorized use of their logo than Phil re. his face.

If you get it, that’s going to be one hell of a collector’s item.

Fack! I’m gonna make this happen… Waiting for a call back from my cousin. I think it’s safe to assume everyone’s order will be canceled so do you think we can get atleast 10 orders? We won’t have as many options for shirt styles, but I can vouch for the quality of the prints. I wear his shirts 7 days a week!

It’s Kessel’s face. I made an Illustrator four color image of Cesc Fabregas and captioned it “Cescual Eruption” and Zazzle took it down immediately.

OK, good news. The shirts are a GO. Going to be available in mens, ladies and long sleeve tees – hand screen printed with care on good quality shirts. I’ll have a link later tonight. We’re going to have a cut off of next wednesday to get your orders in and that way they’ll arrive in time for christmas!
Cost? What color shirt? I don’t like white tshirts.

$22ish including shipping I think – he’s setting it up now. You can pick the colour of shirt, if you pick a light coloured shirt the design will be navy blue and if you pick dark the design will be white.
We need like 15 orders to make it worth it for him but I think we should be good to go…

HACKEY NIGHT

And here we go…
You can get your HACKEY NIGHT tshirts here:
http://www.zeroboutique.com/index.php?hackey=1
Available in a plethora of colours in both mens and ladies tshirts (even cammo, huzzah!). He tells me that the ladies sizes run a little small so if in doubt order one size up.
These are screen printed by hand and not cheap transfers. I can vouch for the quality of the shirts and prints – I own like 10 of his shirts. You can order one up until next Wednesday, December 9th. They will be printed all at once and then shipped afterward. This ensures they will arrive in time for christmas.
Mens shirts are $16 and ladies are $18. Shipping (to Canada or the US) is $7.50 for 1-2 shirts, $10 for 3, $12.50 for 4, $15 for 5-6 and if you order 7 or more shipping is free. All prices USD.
Spread the word and remember to order before next Wednesday.
I’ll make a new fanshot for this that blurr can front page, that should minimise the confusion.
