They were $10 a piece, sold outside the Union. I don’t remember if it was just home games or the entire season.
I say the 80’s because that’s when I remember seeing them. I don’t know when they started this or when they ended it.

LSU was still selling them when I was in school during the late 90s.

I bought one from a guy that says “Geaux frickin Tigers” on the front and “Baton frickin Rouge” on the back. It was weird tho. He didn’t accept cash so I had to give him my card

I’d head up to the Union on Friday to get mine. They’re a little tight but from time time, I still throw one on. ‘Aggie culture’ and the ‘naked butt boy pissing on Miami’ are a couple of my favorite.

The last time we have seen like them was 2019. I got them has a Birthday gift. But haven't seen them again. Not from outside Union.

It just moved off campus to places like Bengals & Bandits. I have a box of them from when I was there. A whole lot of sad “BEAT BAMA” tees from 2007-12 in there

I bought my first and last one for a Georgia game. Watched game at home and we lost. I ended the game by tearing it off myself and throwing it in the garbage. Swore I would never buy another one and I never have.

Guess I am superstitious.

In the late 90's or early 2000's, I typically bought one of these shirts per year. However, after losing the third consecutive game in which I'd bought and worn a game day shirt, I banned myself from any further purchases.

So FWIW, I accept full blame for those losses. It wasn't the coaches, players, or game plans. It was me . . .

My favorite was the “I need a Volunteer” with an arrow pointing straight down. I wore that w pride for Tenner C fans that day.

Yep. Had several of them. I also waited at Chili's, and they let us wear them on gamedays.
