The Sun Will Rise In Phoenix

If you weren’t able to watch or listen to the Phoenix Suns’ press conference last week where they introduced the team’s newest member, Shaquille O’Neal, to the world, you missed some really great quotes from the Big Aristotle.

One memorable quote he spouted was “Start selling the T-shirts now, all the marketing people, I’m giving you this one for free. ‘The Sun will rise in Phoenix.’ Start selling them now, $9.99 at the Phoenix Suns store.” (link) Of course I headed over to the Phoenix Suns store later on that day and unfortunately the organization didn’t move fast enough to capitalize on the greatness that is Shaq. Instead, all I found were some O’Neal Jerseys and a few t-shirts I wouldn’t be caught dead in.

Thankfully, the website Shirt-a-Day hasn’t left The Blot hanging. Today they’ve unveiled their own unique Shaq t-shirt designed for free by O’Neal himself. The shirt is definitely a keeper, but I need more people to buy it to lower the price so I can then purchase mine later today. Check out the Shaq/Phoenix Suns shirt below as well as another awesome shirt, an 18-1 shirt in New York Giants script created by the crew over at Shirt-a-Day. Whether you’re a “Giants fan or a Patriot hater,” this shirts for you! (link)
