Spring Training T-Shirts

In 2002 we started creating custom T-Shirts for our annual trip with the help of some talented friends. Here you can take a look at our shirts through the years. All concepts by Rob Lambeth, except for the 2005 design which was from the syndicated comic strip "The Norm" (used with permission of the author). All shirts were printed by our good friends at Bad Bear Sportswear.

    Rob always liked this "The Norm" comic strip given to him by Brian Cramer way back when, so he contacted "The Norm" creator and was granted permission to use it for the Spring Training shirt. Art by Michael Jantze.

  • Slide Title

    A post card themed design using one of our actual Spring Training photos for the background. Art by Tom Green.

  • Slide Title

    Rob collected stamps when he was a kid and remembered this baseball themed stamp. Commemorates the 20th trip to go watch Spring Training baseball. The sharp eyed viewer might say that 1991-2011 would be 21 years, but they would be wrong. In 1995 there was no trip due to the MLB Lockout. Art by Jason Juneau.

  • Slide Title

    A take off on the Survivor logo with baseball themes. Art by Tom Green.

  • Slide Title

    A very cool design with tickets to the games on that trip, logos of the parks. A favorite of a few of the guys. Art by Tom Green.

    Our take on a concert tour shirt, but with Spring Training themes. Art by Tom Green.

  • Slide Title

    What would be cooler than doing our own baseball cards? These are all actual old school Topps card designs with our pics. Art by Tom Green.

  • Slide Title

    Comic Book theme. The original plan was to have a different version for each guy with them as Spring Training Man. However, due to time constraints we just did the one. Art by Tom Green.

  • Slide Title

    A take off of a Sports Illustrated cover. All of the articles reference stories from trip history. Art by Tom Green.

    We had this one in mind for awhile, just waiting for the first time there were seven guys going. Art by Tom Green.
