It is difficult for me to express how excited I was when I saw Jon Defreest's NFL Parody Shirts. Defreest has managed to take popular taunts against NFL teams and turn them into kickass t-shirts.
Turning the Dolphins into sushi or beheading the Broncos is at the top of any football fan's list of taunts. I would love to see Defreest's NFL Parody Shirts expanded to include all teams in every conference. Somebody needs to take the Patriots down a peg.
