Does it say J2, 2019?  Cause that'll be dated.  

But if they're smart, it just says J2 WITHOUT the year.....cause there's another J2 coming around.

If they're smart they'll make you pay for another one

Got to pay for these kids somehow.

 

Ownership:  Mike, we'll let you keep a third of the money you make off of these shirts.

I'm fine with 60-70.

Especially with the intent on looking at late risers.  They managed like 20% once DD left.  If they could get to ~80-90% in the full year, good progress indeed.

That would leave room for a Zoellner acquisition just for you, as well.

Where can I get a J2 shirt sent to CoC?

If I knew you were buying shirts I would have starting knocking the O's months ago!

Very exciting to be active here.  Sounds like we have good people in place and have already found and expect to sign some quality prospects.

They were advertising them on the scoreboard this weekend... for $35.   Geez, $35 for a t-shirt?   If the dead Beatles reincarnated and the band reunited for a concert, I *might* pay that much for a concert t-shirt.   If it was cool looking.   But for a "J2" shirt that will be out of date Wednesday?   No sir, not me.

You can go to spreadshirt.com and it takes a couple minutes to design your own knockoff Orioles J2 shirt for $11.99 plus shipping.

And sell them for $15?

Not saying I would ever condone such tactics.

If you're not using copyrighted logos, go for it.  But since, like, 2% of the fanbase understands the significance of "International J2" and maybe 5% of them would buy a shirt for it, I don't know that hawking knockoffs at your kid's lemonade stand on Maple St. is going to generate the desired revenues.

They'll probably just end up in vast secondhand/reject clothing market in Lagos undercutting the local textile industry, while creating the bizarre scene of Nigerians wearing "J2 Orioles", "2011 North Dakota State Fair", and "2016 Brewers World Champions" shirts.

Why wouldn't you just order them each time you received an order and let spreadshirt delivery directly to your customer?  Tack an extra $2 on to shipping and your up $5 a shirt.

I'd never suggest killing puppies.
