Okay folks. You're my target audience. I'm designing a t-shirt and would like your input. I'll post pics when available, but here's a rough description:
Baseball jersey. On the front picture "HEROES" in that fancy lettering seen on most baseball jerseys with the swoosh underneath. In what looks like writing in crayon "CRAPPY TOWN" in the swoosh. On the back, again in crayon writing, "WASHBURN" and then just for kicks and giggles the number "05" underneath.

Any feedback would be appreciated. I was told today it was too obscure of a reference, but hey . . . we Browncoats are all about the obscure quotes we all love and adore.

This is very true and that's why I came to this forum to get input. I know several folks who mention they're fans of the show, but when I reference a line (even a more popular one to someone who claims to LOVE the show) it gets blank stares. I related my idea to one friend and they didn't get it, so when I explained it further, they said that only hard-core fans would recognize it and . . . well . . . that is the purpose of the shirt. Not that anyone else will get it, but for the enjoyment of the person wearing it and any true fans that might see it. I've seen shirts on Cafepress that have the actual line on there, but I'm trying to be a bit more clever. Possibly too clever for my own good.

It's funny because I recently bought (just got it yesterday, actually) a shirt that has "Abe Froman: Sausage King of Chicago" on it. I think it's hysterical, but quite a few of the people I've told about it don't get the reference.
