Fear the Deer: Buy a shirt, help a great cause

PrintThanks to some help from SB Nation and the good people at Blue Heron Industries, we now have an official BrewHoop shirt store. As you'd expect there's a "Fear the Deer" shirt, though my personal favorite is probably the Ersanator shirt. We'll be adding more as we go (ideas welcome!), but we at least wanted to get a few shirts out there in case people wanted to gear up for the playoffs. Unfortunately I don't think we can ship internationally, but we'll work on that.
Of course, what we're really excited about is what we're doing with the money. We'll be donating our entire share of the profits to the MACC Fund, so if you're on the fence about forking over $17 for a shirt, hopefully that will put you over the edge. Or better yet, go straight to the MACC Fund website and see how you can help--whether through a donation, volunteering, or participating in many of the great fundraising events coming up. We will be donating $100 up front to get things started, so hopefully the shirt sales add a bunch more. Check out more on the Bucks' terrific work with the MACC Fund after the jump.
As many of you probably know, the MACC Fund was started in 1976 by Bucks great Jon McGlocklin and longtime Bucks radio announcer Eddie Doucette to support research into the effective treatment and cure of childhood cancer and blood disorders. The Bucks have worked closely with the MACC Fund since its inception, so this is kind of a no-brainer for us. Jim Paschke put together a video of the Bucks' recent visit to Children's Hospital, which you can view below.

Buying one of each immediately!
How much liberty are fans allowed to take with the likeness and specific names of the players?
I was thinking John Salmons face and beard over the Seaman character from the Dreamcast game would be excellent.
Great cause and great product

Copyrights are a pain :)
We can’t use the Bucks name for obvious reasons…and unfortunately everything else that’s copyrighted is also off limits. If someone else wants to make something like that I can link to it, but we can’t do it in our own store.

Love the Idea
Great idea! Can’t wait to get my Turkish delight in the mail. That was a great video to post with it, very touching.
Three words:
Three. Point. Monacle.
I shall not rest until these are made available.
"Brandon Jennings needs a nickname before he gives himself one. Oh wait, Young Money, he already did."
I’d also like to do a Skiles/Hammond shirt in the style of a campaign sign—except instead of red/white/blue make it red/white/green.

ersanator tshirt
guys i’m from turkey and i was wondering if it’d possible to buy one online or something…any idea?
same question no chance of getting them shipped internationally?
plus obviously its a great cause to boot
Let me work on it
I just sent the shirt guys an email to see if there’s any chance of working something out for international orders. If that doesn’t work I might be able to order some and then re-ship them to you guys personally (needless to say if 50 people want shirts I won’t be able to do it all myself). This particularly sucks given how international the Bucks are…hopefully there’s some way around it.
powered by Dutch.......or.....My Name Is DAN
in honor of the forthcoming revival that is slowly but surely taking place….the break out game is surely imminent……there is NO shame in being the back up for a 37 year old 6-9 centre in my books
Shirt ideas
Instead of Turkish Delight, Turkish Thunder.
and how about Del3no? or spelled out Delthreeno.
I like Del3no
Better than Chuckfino, which was his early-season nickname :)
Ersan has pretty much unlimited potential from a nickname standpoint—Turkish Thunder, Turk Nowitzki, Turkish Delight, Ersanator, Night Stalker…hopefully we’ll get all of them at some point.
As a general rule we’ll probably only bother doing shirts for players who are likely to be around next season—Bogut, Jennings, Ilyasova, Luc, Defino being the obvious ones. Salmons is obviously an interesting question mark, and I suppose Gadz and Bell will be around by default for at least the start of next season (though I doubt they’ll sell many shirts). Hopefully Stackhouse comes back because you can do a lot with that (Stack Attack is currently my fave).
just looking at those names.....
feel kinda good about giving any of those guys a T-Shirt ……..just seem like a hard working bunch of down to earth guys at least from the outside……and Jennings is kinda like the brash confident quick talking younger brother…..but at 44 wins maybe im getting sentimental………it’s like Skiles’s band of merry men
I wish the design had come out better
It’s a good phrase.
