Bad Quiz Bowl T-Shirt Ideas

Post by Joshua Rutsky »

So here's one I'd love to see someone sketch well:

A quiz bowl game with cartoon superheroes on either set of buzzers. He-Man is at one buzzer, his light on, and clearly looking disgruntled. The moderator is saying to him, "Actually, no.. You don't have the power. It stopped at *Grayskull."



Any other ideas? I am getting ready to design a shirt for our MS state tourney for this year, and am running short of clever.

<Edit - Mods, please move this to the off-topic forum if I have placed it incorrectly, but since this does technically involve quiz bowl, I'm guessing at this forum section as the right one.>

This is indeed the right place for this thread. --Mgmt.

We thought about getting t-shirts for the Maryland team last year. We're the Maryland Academic Quiz Team, or MAQT. Logan suggested we get shirts that said "I MAQT."

We did not do that.

I'd say a Pokemon themed shirt using the latter half of Max Schindler's signature (with permission, of course) could be interesting.

I think this only works for teams in the DC region, but I've always wanted lax pennies that say "It's Laxademic" on them.

The best quiz bowl t-shirt I've ever seen was at the 2012 HSNCT. It said "Buzz so hard moderators wanna find me"

Richard Montgomery's shirts at HSNCT are pretty neat.

Why thank you! I guess we have quite a reputation to try to maintain this year...

You'd be surprised how hard we worked on the swag shirts.
I agree with IKD, I think Stevenson had those Buzz So Hard shirts.

I liked Stevenson's shirts from 2011 HSNCT that said "Doin' it for Madden"

We quite enjoyed that quote for the whole year!

That was also us. Jonathan and I are to credit for that one... we listened to that song too often

Personally I'm a big fan of the song quotes re-purposed to be quiz bowl puns. That should be done more often.

Did it say "THAT CHRIS RAY" on the back?

Arcadia's t-shirts say "I got the power!" in large bold font.
