Youth Of Today – Go Veg Tee
There’s been a lot of talk about this particular tee on the B9 board. I know some kid was contemplating booting this particular shirt. Not sure how I feel about that, especially with the big rev logo on the back. I don’t think Jordan would be impressed. He would be impressed if you picked up […]

Hands Tied – Logo Longsleeve
