especially the "not light red or dark red" part

9/20/2011 11:30:01 PM

Yea its dumb. But the crowd on here went ape shit over it.

9/20/2011 11:31:18 PM

Someone's gallery stalking me

9/20/2011 11:32:35 PM

^^ i know right, it seems like everyone bought one

i wanted it to make sense, i really did

9/20/2011 11:34:19 PM

I love that shirt. It makes me want to dominate Biochem all over again.

9/20/2011 11:34:32 PM

But the shirt IS red.

9/20/2011 11:44:02 PM

THIS IS NOT RED
but it is red
NOT LIGHT RED OR DARK RED
well, i guess that's kinda true, it's just red red
NO, THIS IS MUCH MORE THAN RED
actually it is exactly red

9/20/2011 11:50:34 PM

it was an advertisement in a magazine, it was printed on a pennant in the picture in the ad

9/20/2011 11:51:00 PM

it's a quote lifted directly from an old issue of ESPN magazine. there was an ad, i think promoting ESPN U (which was fairly new at the time) and they had an NC State pennant with that written on it.

you can blame ESPN for that. i still have that shirt laying around somewhere.

9/20/2011 11:53:03 PM

but can we all agree this is red?

9/20/2011 11:56:21 PM

the shirt is red. the text is white. maybe it's referring to the text?

9/20/2011 11:56:55 PM

I've got one of the pennants

[Edited on September 20, 2011 at 11:58 PM. Reason : But I did think it would be better if it said "This is not just red"]

9/20/2011 11:57:17 PM

i kinda like it

[Edited on September 20, 2011 at 11:59 PM. Reason : LIGHT BLUE or DARK BLUE]

9/20/2011 11:57:47 PM

shit, good point

THIS IS NOT RED
NOT LIGHT RED OR DARK RED
NO, THIS IS MUCH MORE THAN RED
IT IS WHITE

i finally get it

9/20/2011 11:57:54 PM

9/20/2011 11:58:29 PM

white or ecru?

9/20/2011 11:58:41 PM

I like the shirt, but agree with this

i wish it said 'like wolves in A PACK' that'd look cooler

9/21/2011 12:02:11 AM

i have that shirt. pwrstrkdf250 had them made up

[Edited on September 21, 2011 at 12:05 AM. Reason : but yes, it came from ESPN U]

9/21/2011 12:05:23 AM

9/21/2011 12:05:55 AM

always thought this shirt was incredibly lame

9/21/2011 12:09:14 AM

Wow, that was awful. That would have been painful to read from someone actually wearing the shirt.

NOT OR

that line came from a quote way back in the '20s where a dude said our fans behaved like a pack of wolves

in stark contrast to the light and dark blue schools down the road.

i wore mine to the gym today.

i love that shirt. i am one of those on here that went apeshit...

9/21/2011 12:16:51 AM

I never really understood it either, but I have one (it was a gift)

thanks tdub, for clearing this up for me

yeah, and he almost made a shitload of Thank Heavens for Daniel Evans shirts but he was wise enough to wait a week or two to see how that would pan out...

This is pretty much the original ad. I think PackPride modified it to have the block S on the bottom.

Today we are all not red.

9/21/2011 5:56:00 AM

THIS COMMA IS NEVER GIVING UP

9/21/2011 7:14:17 AM

THIS IS NOT LIGHT URPLE

9/21/2011 7:41:36 AM

GOD

THAT COMMA SUCKS

9/21/2011 7:49:14 AM

I like that shirt. People who don't get it probably aren't die hard State fans which is fine, not everyone get emotional about sports. It explains why they don't understand or "get" the shirt though.

And yes the "this is not red" should say "this is not just red".

9/21/2011 7:50:34 AM

I think it's a pretty stupid shirt.

9/21/2011 7:53:28 AM

i am very passionate about sports

i actually do get what they were TRYING to do

i'm just saying this attempt to appeal to emotion is completely crippled by the shitty phrasing

some fucking intern at ESPN wrote this horseshit in 5 minutes and someone immortalized it on a shirt

THAT is what i do not get

9/21/2011 7:53:58 AM

I kinda dig the color

9/21/2011 7:59:52 AM

Pretty sure it's Red

9/21/2011 8:10:31 AM

It's not red, the light it reflects is red.

9/21/2011 9:07:22 AM

Oh 2008, how I've missed you.

i bought one, but ended up giving it to goodwill when i lost a bunch of weight and it didn't fit.


it was a cool shirt.

[Edited on September 21, 2011 at 11:10 AM. Reason : fuck your negativity]

9/21/2011 11:10:27 AM

i thought it was a play on light blue and dark blue....

I think it would be funnier if the front read: This is RED.

9/21/2011 11:12:29 AM

i never understood this, shirt

9/21/2011 11:16:10 AM

I, too, have that shirt. Everyone always looks at you like "wtf, if it isn't red then what is it?"

9/21/2011 11:17:19 AM

bttt

12/1/2013 12:33:13 AM

2+ years later

still dumb
