The Return Of The BCB T-Shirt

It's baaaaaaaaaack!
Click on image to open a larger version in a new browser window

No, don't be afraid -- this time it's going to be much easier, and you'll get your shirt in a timely fashion, or, if you are in Chicago, you can go and buy one in person.

How? Here's how. You've seen the ads for Strange Cargo pop up on this site from time to time over the last month or so (you may even be seeeing one right now, they've been around this morning). For those of you who aren't familiar with this store, it sells T-shirts and other miscellany and is located a couple of blocks south of Wrigley Field at 3448 N. Clark St.

Jay Schwartz of Strange Cargo and I have organized this deal to be as simple as possible. The shirt, as pictured above, is identical to last year's shirt, which a lot of people who didn't get one said they wanted. It also has the "BELIEVE PROJECT 3000" logo on the back. The shade of blue is slightly different, but it will still go well with all your other Cubs gear.

You can go to the store and buy one for $20 plus tax -- that's $22.50 total, and take it home right away. Or, if you are not in the Chicago area and can't get to Strange Cargo's store, you can order it online. The online price is the same -- $20, plus tax, and $5 for shipping, $27.50 total.

You can order your shirt by clicking on this link. Best of all, as you can see on that page, $8 from every shirt purchase will be donated to Derrek Lee's Project 3000, which has already seen $1450 donated from generous BCB readers from last year's shirt sale and pledges made about player performances in 2007. I'll also update the BCB Project 3000 Fundraiser link that's permanently on the right sidebar so the shirt-ordering link will always be handy after this post passes off the front page.

I'll keep everyone updated on how many shirts get sold and how much we contribute to this worthy cause.

You asked, so here it is. Go get yours today!

Thanks, Al, for making this happen. I imagine there are a lot of people who missed them the first time through, and it’s great that the ordering (and delivery) process will be so easy. Thanks again.

Hey, they even ship internationally. Sure, you’ll pay a bit more for shipping and customs, but… you still get the shirt (and more money goes to Project 3000).

you know what would be pretty cool....

and I’m pretty sure it would cost too much or involve too much, but it would be really cool to put our BCB names on the back like a Jersey… When I get this shirt, I might just bring it to a place to sew on “SouthsideCUBSfan” on the back… therefore we would be recognized at the games or what not..

Not sewn,

by Kinky Reggae on Jul 17, 2008 10:57 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Looking at Strange Cargo's Web site...

...they have a special screen for custom lettering. And if you look under the pull down menu for “1. Shirt Style”, there is an option for “Bleed Cubbie Blue Fruit of the Loom.”

Now I’m assuming if you choose that option you’ll get the full BCB shirt with whatever “On the Back” lettering you choose. Al, does this sound right to you? Or maybe I should e-mail the store to confirm?

I'd confirm

but that’s probably it. How much does it cost?

The site says...

...50 cents a letter. That particular custom lettering page says they charge $15 per shirt, but I would assume the $20 price for the BCB shirt applies.

NEVERMIND, I guess.

I just checked the custom lettering page again, and now the “Bleed Cubbie Blue Fruit of the Loom” does NOT appear under the “1. Shirt Style” menu. Either Strange Cargo decided to remove that option or it was a mistake to begin with.

I am trying not buy anything in Chicago

The 10.25 sales tax is a joke. New York has not tax on clothes or shoes. I used to shop
when I came back in town for games but no more. Good luck raising revenue for the Chicago’s crumbling infrastructure Ritchie.
Why would Strange Cargo charge tax on out of state orders ?

On most things I would buy

Not just a BCB shirt is the entire 10.25 . A bit off topic but I would routinely go to
places like DSW, TJ MAXX etc and other stores along Clark or Broadway on my way to the game
or some downtown stores. There is simply no point when I can shop at the same stores here and
pay no tax on clothing. Also it is the principle as Chicago is just the most mismanaged city I know
of and I will try to avoid the insane tax when possible. New York is only about 2 less on non clothing
items an we have our share of bad spending etc but not compared to Chicago.

Stay out of Chicago then...

The arrogance of so many New Yorkers is amazing to me. Good grief, you think the world begins and ends with New York City. You couldn’t pay me enough money to live in that sewer hole. I’m sorry, but anytime someone puts down Chicago, (especially somone that doesn’t even live here) it pisses me off to no end.

I LOVE CHICAGO

and I love New York except for everyone of the sports teams. Just pointing out it makes
no sense for me to shop when I am there and I happen to think it is a grossly mismanaged city.
Please don’t take that as any indication I don’t love the place. I grew up in the city of chicago
and I spend every vacation day I have to come back and watch the Cubs. I also NEVER eat pizza unless I am in Chicago ( and only at two or 3 place there) and dream of Wiener Circle
burgers.

I apologize..

Didn’t mean to attack anyone personally. It’s just that I have a lot of relatives that are, and have been city workers, cops, firemen, etc., so I’m rather thin skined when it comes to criticism of our fair city. As with any large city, (Chicago and NY both included) there will be some mismanagement issues. Having spent only one week of my life in NY it would be unfair of me to cast aspersions on that great city. However, in that one week I saw enough garbage on the streets, crappy $400 hotel rooms, rude people, etc, to last me an entire lifetime.

Lack of baseball

I know it’s good for players to get a few days of rest, but let me just say it:

I HATE THE ALL-STAR BREAK!

And why is it that the Cubs always seem to be one of the teams that gets an extra day off after the break? It just prolongs the misery.

but on the flip side to that gives them an extra day of rest.

So as much as I miss baseball, in the long run the extra day might help someone like Soto.

Don't even start with me on this issue.

OK, I’ll try to be as nice as possible. He makes these loud annoying sounds. If he did it for a minute or two and then stopped, maybe it’d be OK. But he continues to do it even if you ask him to stop. In fact, asking him to stop appears to be the signal to do it LONGER. He once stood next to me while I was sitting on the lawn at Mesa and did it for a solid hour before the Mesa cops finally came and threw him out.

He also spends a fair amount of his time in the bleachers groping college-age women.

Fortunately, he hasn’t been seen in the bleachers much this year. I suspect the price of the tickets is preventing people who used to give them to him from doing so. Good. I wish he’d just disappear forever.

I think it’s great that $8 from each shirt is going to Project 3000.

Strange Cargo may be making a small profit, but since $8 is going to Project 3000, and they’re doing all the work, I think we can cut them some slack.
