Joke?

I think it’s funny (the t-shirt, that is). I’m surprised that Busted Tees (or one of their ilk) didn’t come up with this first.

Nothing else about this situation is funny, so why not laugh at the one thing that is.

I understand, there’s no way to undo the past. But I have friends and co-workers who think we can, somebody actually told me today that he thought Sacramento should organize a parade on K St. to crown the Kings the 2002 NBA champs and he is an otherwise super intelligent dude.

Unbelievable. In his defense, he was a freshman in college when that travesty happened and his initial reaction probably came from that place and time.

Or getting to the bottom of his pro Knick bias?

I still have the hat.

I actually first typed that as hate. Dr. Freud meet KK, KK meet Dr. Freud.

Anyway, I’ve rarely worn it after the first couple of weeks of ownership. It has to be an especially terrible hair day, I must be in dire need of a white baseball cap, and I have to be willing to listen to fellow masochists remind me that I am wearing that proclamation on my head. So, generally, it’s on the top shelf of my closet gathering dust, yet I don’t wear it and I can’t throw it away.

Pardon me, I need to cut this post short, Dr. Freud just called me into his office for my long overdue appointment.

By the way, Stank...

I’ve seen this site pimped on every comment board I’ve visited in the last week, are you behind it?

Just curious.

Naw,

I just saw it off a post on facebook. Lol, believe me, if I was the one behind the t-shirts, those graphics would be lined up properly. The off-center graphic annoys the hell outta me.

That's not the "official" shirt.

This one is!

Hope you enjoy the story behind it.

Happens all the time

They actually print shirts for both teams for large events like the Super Bowl, and then send the losing team’s “Champioship” shirts overseas in Red Corss-like shipments.

It’s long been joked that the recipients of these clothes probably have a distorted view of American Sports, and think that teams like the Bills are the best in the land.

Sometimes, but not all the time...

You are correct – this is true for huge games like the Super Bowl.

In this case, on the night of Game 7, a local printing company had blank shirts ready to be screened. If the Kings won, the staff was to spend the night printing shirts. Instead, since the Lakers “won” (note the quotation marks), and everyone got sent home, but not before printing up a few shirts for fun.

Anyway, it IS 6 years later. If you are correct and extra shirts were pre-printed back in 2002, they probably ended up someplace like Haiti.
