Any T-shirt ideas for My Ballard?

Posted by Geeky Swedes on May 20th, 2008

Ballard loves its T-shirts and bumper stickers, which got us thinking about creating a My Ballard shirt, but with a pithy slogan. For example, “Googie It” with “MyBallard.com” in smaller letters underneath. Any other ideas? If we pick your slogan, we’ll send you a free shirt.

    I wish Archie's would combine two of their Ballard bumper stickers into:

    FREE BALLARD
    of its condo overlords

    That makes way more sense to me than welcoming the damn condos.
  • Free Ballard - Deport Suthii.
  • Suthii
    "Free Ballard - Deport Suthii."

    Thanks! more proof that Ballards's Silly Left has fascistic leanings.

    Disagree and we will kick you out!

    How about this one for the Ballardites who get nose bleeds when they see any building higher than 3 stories or people with six figure salaries:

    "Bitter Ballardite"

    "There's No Place Like Ballard. *Click, Click, Click*"

    "myballard.com - We ain't yust chewin' snoose , ya know!"

    "Mocking Suthii since 2008!"

    "myballard.com - It's not for sale!"

    "Ballard. You can't afford to live here."

    "myballard.com. Virtual lutefisk for cyber-Svedes."

    "myballard.com. We stoop to scoop."

    (That sounds kinda unappetizing.)

    Ballard is better.

    Norway loves condos.

    You can't afford this.

    How about a picture of Ballard landmarks? That way we can remember what it used to look like once they've all been demolished for not being "financially viable."
  • I like the landmarks idea!
  • @18 -

    It's a reference to an episode of the Simpsons in which the teevee news anchorman freaked out when an ant floated in front of the camera during a live feed from the space shuttle, then proclaimed the world was being invaded by giant ants from space.

    In the very next scene, the anchorman, trying to curry favor with the supposed ant invaders commented on air "I, for one, welcome our new ant overlords."

    (apologies in advance if the HTML doesn't come through, but you'll get the idea)
    So everyone knows the symbolic "I ♥ NY"...
    Change the "NY" to "MY" and put "Ballard" underneath it but a bit smaller...
    "I ♥ MY Ballard"
  • Ryan
    yeah so the heart didn't show up... insert a heart in those giant spaces. :)
