Now presenting… AIR CONGO

by Royce Young on May 17, 2010 at 12:21 pm 30 Comments

In our short history of producing what I believe are stellar shirts, I’d say this might be the most highly anticipated of the bunch. Serge Ibaka has not only caputured the affection of the Thunder fan base, but also the full attention of the NBA. As Kelly Dwyer said very smartly, he’s your favorite player. You just might not know that yet. And we needed to attempt to capture his signature move on some 100 percent cotton fabric.

So now we humbly present AIR CONGO to you. This shirt is not yet for sale online at this moment, but soon will be either late today or tomorrow. It currently can be bought in store at Tree and Leaf. Go get one and be ready for when it’s entirely available to the pleading masses. I hope it meets your approval.

So Serge just flew into town, and boy are his arms tired...

I'm definitely getting that shirt! It better not be sold out by the time I get outta bed tomorrow!

By the way, does anyone think shirt could be considered racist? Like implying that the only way someone from the Republic of Congo will fly is to flap their arms? Anyone? Good.

BDK :@TempBoy Brandon I thought the “Why Not” shirt was a Westbrook shirt…

that's true.. but it's not really a Westbrook shirt that you can wear to show off your mancrush for Westbrook like i have.. :) it was more of borrowing from his life motto (which was an awesome idea) and using it as a playoff rally.. i kinda considered it more of a playoff shirt than a Westbrook shirt.. the Durantula, Go Green, Must Be The Beard, and Air Congo shirts definitely show off a fan's love for those specific players in a really cool and clever way that other fans get, but we need one for Russ..

This is the best shirt IMO. Simple and to the point. I might get one.

I'm an attorney and if Royce gets into anything too deep...I'll be my regular super hero self and start saying legal phrases in latin and get it taken care of ;-)

Great shirts, all of them. Not just the Air Congo. We do really need a Westbrook shirt. Westbrook is like lightning, because you can't have Thunder without Lightning (sort of stolen from Cars, but oh well)

Yes, yes they should.

ARE YOU READING THIS THUNDER PEOPLE?

@Hector
You should read up on intellectual property and parody laws. We've been very careful to not cross any lines to get ourselves in trouble.

Keith :@HectorIf you are worried about Royce getting in trouble, he has already spoken with the Thunder marketing department way back. At worst, he’ll receive a cease and desist notice before legal action takes place.

if they were smart, they'd just hire him on to the marketing dept.. considering how many DT shirts i'm seeing at the Ford Center, it'd be the smart move..

and KD is wearing a Redskins retro cap.. think they were going for the retro look there.. but forget all that-- the greatest thing about this photo is that KD is wearing a "I <3 Boobies!" wristband! hahaha!

ps: we need a cool Russell Westbrook shirt, stat.

I am also concerned on colors. I understand the "Good Morning Vietnam" vibe, but green is so supersonic. I don't like seeing the color green in the Thunderdome. We need alternate/Thunder colors.

All that said, I will be buying one.
