Top 10 Best-Selling Mr. Irrelevant T-Shirts
By Jamie Mottram | September 30, 2009
As an outgrowth of Blog Show, in which Dan Steinberg and I wore homemade t-shirts every week, we set up the Mr. Irrelevant T-Shop. Surprisingly, we’ve sold dozens of some of the shirts over the years. Not surprisingly, most of our bestsellers are Skins-related.
Because I check this often and find it fascinating, here are our top sellers:
- Portis Pockets Straight
- Offseason Champs
- Zorn Star
- Hip Hip Hooray!
- Purple Jesus
- Straight Cash Homie
- Snyder Sucks
- Mr. Walk-Off
- Fire Vinny
- Stay Medium
I suppose it helps to have the namesake model the garment, which means we need to get Sgt. Cerrato in that “Fire Vinny” joint ASAP. It also helps to be anti-Skins, which three of these are quite aggresively (lawsuits to come).
To that end, as requested by our friend Bull for Sunday’s game, here’s our newest shirt, “Put Ovie In” (via Steinz). Maybe putting a Caps tee in burgundy will help it crack the top 10. I hope so. I mean, “Hip Hip Hooray?” Last October never seemed so long ago.
PS: If you’ve ever bought one of these, thank you kindly. It looks good.

How is the Captain Chaos shirt not in the Top 10!? I own that one. Despite the awful team that we root for, are we getting an Orakpo or Haynesworth shirt anytime soon? Are either of you guys going to the Skins/Panthers game in Charlotte?

To answer your questions … 1) We don’t sell any Cooley-themed tees, but I think 289 (who designs some of ours) does. 2) We’d be up for an Orakpo one, but just haven’t found inspiration yet. 3) We’re both gonna be at Skins-Panthers.

That’s right, I forgot I bought that through 289. My brother and I will be there tailgaiting with some other Skins fans. That game could end up being one of the worst NFL games of the year. I hate that the Panthers have 2 weeks to prepare since we aren’t that hard to gameplan for anyway.
