Need help with pirate themed rush shirt!

calebtke · #1 12-07-2004, 07:08 PM

Need some feedback and ideas for slogans or stuff to put on a pirate themed rush shirt. Its going to be an all black shirt, the front is going to be skull and crossbones with a large RUSH TKE above it and then on the back soemthing that says "Swashbuckling and booty getting since 1899". What do you all think? Too much classless humor? Not enough? Any ideas and/or feedback I would really appreciate.

Thanks in advance,

Check with Erik P. Conard. He is a TKE.
He also fought against the pirates from
the Barbary States of North Africa with
US forces so he would be great to contact.
Just send him a PM. He will well you out.

Hmm how about…LAND a HOE!!! Rush/Join/Go TKE etc, with a caricature of a hot girl in pirate garb. That’s all I could really come up with off the top of my head.

All I can think of is something with Booty. Every pirate-themed thing we did had Booty in it somewhere

There's a shirt at Urban Outfitters, it says "Pirates Arrrrrr Cool" with a pic of a pirate head (think Pitt Pirates). It's a funny shirt, kinda goes along with your theme.

You could use a treasure map with different points along the way to the destination, TKE.
history-when founded, when chapter chartered
chapter events-big parties, philanthropy events, school events
famous members-All I can think of right off is Elvis, but use something about him like Elvis' Blue Suede Shoes

well... that's only if you want to go the classy route...

ShadyKD- as one of your Pittsburgh sisters, I can assure you that our Pirates are NOT cool, lol

How about plundering booty instead of booty getting?

FRONT
skull and crossbones art
Words: "TKE Rush 2004" and the name of the university

BACK
art: a large distressed-edge sepia colored treasure map with track marks on it, and random Greek Letters, along with typical treasure map artwork like palm trees, gold coins and beautiful girls? There could be a large "X" with a treasure chest and gold doubloons bearing the letters "TKE"

Words: At the top could be: "Going on a Treasure Hunt?" bottom could be the phrase: "TKE Marks The Spot."

You need the puffy shirt from Seinfeld. That would be cool.

Caleb, did you pick a design yet?

roqueemae · #12 12-09-2004, 02:26 AM

Maybe he doesn't like us.

There are tons of cute ideas listed.

calebtke · #13 12-09-2004, 02:56 PM

Thanks for all the great ideas!

Nope I haven't picked a design yet, but I am working on it. Our rush doesn't start until the end of January so I have some time to work on it. Thanks again for all the good ideas.
