I need to come up with a stupid sports shirt idea by friday

They are doing a stupid sports spirit day potluck lunch thing at work this friday and management wants us to wear our favorite sports team paraphernalia that day. I detest sports. Especially professional sports. I don't understand why people would want to watch a bunch of millionaires with bad attitudes plays with balls on TV.

Anyways, I have a sharpy marker and a white T-shirt and I need to come up with a stupid shirt.

I'm a total smart-ass at work and I don't mind coming off as an idiot. I was thinking about doing something that intentionally-unintentionally highlights my lack of knowledge of sports and further giving people the impression that I'm an idiot. The only problem is I don't know enough about sports to come up with something like this on my own.

I could just ignore the sports thing and wear normal clothes that day, but that'd be too easy...

Stupid slogans, mispellings, miswordings, all are welcome.

Thanks!

They did not have any sports team at all.

Put your last name on the front of the shirt, and on the back, put "undefeated since" whatever year you were born.

I think I'm going call it the "super ball" and draw a sea bronco. It'll be great.

Now I just need to dig out a really old and ratty t-shirt and make it happen.

When I was in France many years ago, I went into a sports store. They had all these jerseys of American teams. Problem was, they're were all s crewed up. They had things like the Detroit Yankees, New York Dolphins, Cleveland Dodgers. It was pretty funny. I wish I had bought a couple of them. You could do something like that.

Then cross out "religion" and write in "sports".
