If I got a t-shirt, I'd be inclined to resign much more often.

Being a huge fan of the t-shirt it's a bummer that good ones are so troublesome to find. Next to futile trying to find one in a womens cut. (ok KGS has some but the designs not surprisingly are pretty uninspired). Actually emailed IGS a few days ago to ask if there's a way to pick up one of those nifty pandanet t-shirts but haven't heard back yet and don't expect to as google search's for such turn up absolute zero. Have seen some nice designs occasionally on EGC t-shirts but most of the USGC ones I've seen aren't anything I'd wear. If it's any consolation chess players seem to be in the same boat and the one posted by the op is a perfect example of whats out there, though they probably have more choices. To be fair though, well designed, humorous or even just clever t-shirts in general or not so easy to find.

But the thread has reminded me of one I'd been meaning to fetch (even comes in womens sizes a variety of colors) and one could consider there a cross over to go I guess.

If anyone knows how to bag one of these am all ears:

I have half a mind to report that to the better business bureau for deceptive marketing.

Wait, could you please post the uncensored, director’s cut version of that? Is that who I think it is? (Won't tell cause of the embarrassment if I’m wrong )

Thx, Tom

Cool, unfunny t-shirt ideas. Can I play?

That embarrassing picture has made the rounds before I believe. Questions were asked.

With no definitive answers to my knowledge. Also, unfortunately, folks awaiting the uncensored director's cut are likely in for a fair bit of disappointment, perhaps reminiscent of others in magnitude...

I own one of these, although I may have lost it. (I'm not very good at packing.) I believe I was given at a tournament in Japan last year. (It's not me in the picture).

So if you know anyone who played in a Pandanet sponsored tournament, they may well be able to help you out!

There's yet another missing option for the poll--both of the above.

I find it amusing, but would think that the person wearing it was probably a jerk.

When you are done playing this clown, you pull your indelible ink pen from your pocket, reach across the board, and edit his shirt.

Actually, I would love to see this as a traveling t-shirt that changed hands whenever the wearer won the game by resignation. For an added bonus -- whenever you "win" the shirt (by losing of course), you sign your name and the date on the back in magic marker...

People who find this insulting should grow a pair.

I really don't think I'd be bothered by anyone wearing such a shirt but I can't say it wouldn't colour my opinion of them.

The language is very personal and accusatory - "Your... play..." - and needlessly so.

The less personal, more subtle statement, "Keep calm and place two stones," is much more tasteful and tactful and quite amusing. I would buy that shirt.

I would also buy one reading "Always remember to resign in Sente."

What does it matter if the language is personal if the presentation is so obviously impersonal? No one could read that shirt and think that the message is actually directed at them.

I couldn't have said it better.
