We do a thing that I've nick-named 'Throwaway Shirts' where we have about a dozen T-shirts and other things (hats, etc) made to reward kids at unexpected times for a variety of things. Example: Kid has been busting his butt in the weight room for a few weeks, we toss him a T-shirt on his way to class. The T-shirts all have a variety of logos/slogans we like so that we're not just giving the same ones out. HC swears by it, I like it, kids go nuts to earn one.
So, I've been trying to think of a good rip off from the 'Old Spice Guy' commercials (I'd link it, but stupid school filter). Here's what I've got:
“Hello, ladies, look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being weak and switched to Mariner Football, he could play like he’s me.”
Original:
“Hello, ladies, look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped using ladies scented body wash and switched to Old Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re on a boat with the man your man could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an oyster with two tickets to that thing you love. Look again, the tickets are now diamonds. Anything is possible when your man smells like Old Spice and not a lady. I’m on a horse.”
I'm hoping for a yay/nay on the funny or some alternate suggestions?

Heck I'd be willing to run through a brick wall to get one of those t-shirts.

I like it. Great idea.
You could even go:
“Hello, , look at your biceps, now back to mine, now back at yours , now back to mine. Sadly, you aren't build like me, but if you stopped being weak and switched to Mariner Football, you could play like me.” What's that in my hand? Two tickets for the gun show. Look again, those tickets are now state championship trophies. (whistle Old Spice jingle)
I only say "biceps" because it brings attention and guys flex those all the time.

just how big is the shirt going to be to get all that on there?
seems kinda busy to me and not sure just how much the whole thing will really stand out if you have to stop the guy wearing it and have him stand still for 15 seconds while you read the shirt.

That was my concern and the reason why I didn't go for the whole quote, I figure 40+ words is a bit much to digest. Putting the guy's face on a shirt and maybe a "Sadly, you aren't me" underneath would be kinda sweet... |

Go with "Sadly you aren't me" across the chest and six-pack abs drawn on the bottom.

The phrase is shorter and much more catchy than a long quote. They'll figure it out. |

I like the idea but your program better be good. Our var program sucks. Kids at school would thank God they are not part of the program. lol

Make it a poster instead- then you could fit it all on there are add the guy's photo. THEN get the T-shirts that say, "Sadly, you aren't me...Mariner Football"

Hello, ladies, look at your man. Women want me. Men want to be me. And animals want to learn how to talk so they can hang out with me!Sadly, he isn't me...Mariner Football...
Ok mashed up Mustafa Old Spice and Ray Lewis Old Spice with Chuff's adaptation. I figure if I tell the kids to site sources I might as well too
