Cedar Rapids Gazette Headline Shirt - Woodshed, IA 52242

Agree with both posters. I think back to the early (70's) Iowa - ISU rivalry t-shirt, "Screw Moo U!" with a giant screw impaling Cy. Now that one had pzazz. The Bravo one has been neutered, especially given what could be a once in a lifetime ass kicking and humiliation. Back to the drawing board, please.
 
Those Hawk fans who want to celebrate it out of state won't get a shirt like this. I wanted to get something like this, but won't waste my money here in Oregon. Most others would look at it and not understand why anyone would wear it if they didn't know what the CyHawk logo referred to. One needs more than that to place it's relevance in history. If the final score were 52-24, then the zip code reference would have a nice pun aspect it something like:

Iowa City, Iowa 52-24 TOO!

But 55-24 Too wouldn't really work in that capacity.

zip code is 55224
 
zip code is 55224

Actually there is a real zip code for Iowa city that is 52245. I think it would be cool if someone were to design a t-shirt with animated art that would animate by having the 5 at the end of the zip code hop up and pop down in front of "224" after "5" at the beginning. And then one could transition an image that would show initially...

Iowa City, Iowa 52245

to become

November 4th, 2017
Iowa 55 2 24 over Ohio State

or something like that.

Perhaps other image art could be animated in too, to show something like Josh Jackson's last pick that underlined the victory... Initially could show the stadium (though that is in zip code 52242 instead of 52245). Maybe find a good symbolic pic of the city in that zip code there to start the artwork here.

One could use the technology on this t-shirt site to have an animating logo shirt made... A game like this that one will remember for years deserves a good 21st century technology treatment!

Great win but not so sure that beating our chest as we sit 6-3 is a great idea. Not to take anything away from an incredible performance. Let’s just go beat Wisconsin now.
 
Hey, if someone will buy a shirt...sell it.

But seriously, who would buy that shirt? Someone will no doubt.

But you will bring them down, God, into the deepest pit. Those men, so bloodthirsty and treacherous, will not live out half their days. But for my part, [Adonai,] I put my trust in you.

My thought is that in 2020 when Iowa plays tOSU again, that Woodshed paper clipping is going to be taped to a wall in tOSU's locker room by Urban or one of his coaches.

That's exactly what my Buckeye friend in Ohio told me yesterday. Enjoy this while we can.
 
The shirt needs to be more like the poster, imo.
