Yes I can blame the guy.  Sure he has the right to make a buck off of someone's death.  That doesn't make it right though.  If the $ is going to charity though..... that's a different story.

I saw those yesterday, kind of sickening, if anyone wants to buy a memorial t-shirt, i'd wait and see if Team Tanner actually creates one

^^^^^

I agree.

Looks like that sellers entire business is based on ripping off other people's work

That's F'd up! The guy was just found dead last Saturday and someone's already trying to cash in on his misfortune! Some people have no morals!

I reported him! Thanks, truewrestler!

egoki11a - If you were in a local bar and saw someone wearing that you would say- man, where did you get that shirt- it's bad ass, then you would discuss Evan and he would be honored.

I dont see the problem to be honest, Anything that shows tribute to Evan is a wonderful thing.


You are right, I probably would think it was cool, but I also would assume that the sales of the shirt somehow benefit Tanner's family, and that the shirt was not just the product of someone who leaches off the deaths of people more accomplished than himself. I don't consider trying to cash in on other people's demise a "tribute".

Someone in a Team Tanner shirt needs to smack him

15

I don't know if a shirt that ugly is much of a tribute, and someone should shut their asses down.

16

^^ I hope you're joking. This guy saw a chance to sell some $.50 shirts for 5.99 while the grief was fresh and Evan was on the front page of Yahoo & Fox news.

17

 I shot notes off to Cobb 28 and Quik to see if they were going to do shirts. No response as of yet.

18

That shirt is a disgrace. If he wanted to make a shirt and wear it himself....fine. This fool is printing up his little "Iron on" shirts and selling them for profit because of the death.

I don't see any ET shirts listed from last week!

I'd like to see Six Deuce, TapouT, Warrior Wear, or some company of that nature make a nice quality tee in Evan's honor moreso than some guy who is slapping an iron on image from a collage that was copied from the net on a t-shirt.
