It's easy, and only takes a few moments.As far as a solution, I was thinking of a hand-held sign (probably 12" wide or so) with a photo of the Goodell Clown Logo on that T-Shirt that people can hold up. Eliminates worrying about shirt sizes for everyone, people not wanting to wear the nose, etc. So that's what I was thinking and hopefully it's still relatively inexpensive enough for us to do it, plus I think every single person would have zero issue holding those up and waving them in unison. Do you guys agree?
I don't know if I'll ever stop jizzing between now and then.
I love the idea of T-shirts, but the cost would be astronomical (pretend they're $1.00 each - which they'd obviously be more than that - you're talking $68,000+) and the logistics worry me in terms of the fact we'd be talking a massive truck with pallettes of boxes that we'd have to get into the lots and then spread them around the stadium in order to be able to get them handed out by game time, and we'd have the issue of running out of them at one location while then trying to getting them moved from one spot to another.My concern with the signs would be that they would be held up at the start of the game, but then be forgotten. (Same with the red noses.) That would allow the NFL to avoid showing the crowd at the start, and no one would ever see them on tv. The shirts worn by everyone would make a bigger impact, difficult for the cameras to avoid. As for the sizes, I'd just go with 3 sizes: large, xl, and xxl. I think that would cover most people, even if some have to wear it a little big and some a little tight.
I tried contacting Barstool a few weeks ago for pricing, They said they'd call me but I never heard from them again. I didn't continue trying because I wasn't sure the interest in doing this was still there. I'd love to help though.
Hate to throw cold water on this but not everyone entering the stadium will (A) know what's going on and what to be looking for, or (B) be counted on to care enough to participate. Plus, the crowd will be arriving earlier than normal for opening night. Lots of entrances to cover as well.I love the idea of T-shirts, but the cost would be astronomical (pretend they're $1.00 each - which they'd obviously be more than that - you're talking $68,000+) and the logistics worry me in terms of the fact we'd be talking a massive truck with pallettes of boxes that we'd have to get into the lots and then spread them around the stadium in order to be able to get them handed out by game time, and we'd have the issue of running out of them at one location while then trying to getting them moved from one spot to another.
It's not impossible, but after some initial conversations I've had, I'm just trying to think of everything we might be dealing with and explore all our options. For those of you who have looked at these posts and haven't jumped in (and it's been a little quiet since I posted that this morning), don't be afraid to chime in even if you disagree and make a suggestion.
That's what worries me, and that's why whatever we do would require it to be quick but as effective as possible where even the most casual fan would take it and hold it up with the rest of the crowd, and that's why I was trying to come up with something easier that could be explained and handed out quickly. I think most people would wave the sign and we could at least include instructions along with whatever message we needed to pass along to get the less-passionate fans on board, etc. and have it printed on the back. But this is going to require a lot of people to get on board to get it off the ground. We definitely can't go halfway on this if we're going to do it.Hate to throw cold water on this but not everyone entering the stadium will (A) know what's going on and what to be looking for, or (B) be counted on to care enough to participate.

If the Clown shirt is a non runner due to financial and/or logistical reasons, then the idea off a mini placard is good. The whole point is that the occasion is one where Patriot Fans show their displeasure on National T.V. towards this vile individual. If successful, I think Patriot Fans would be admired by fans of other teams also.That's what worries me, and that's why whatever we do would require it to be quick but as effective as possible where even the most casual fan would take it and hold it up with the rest of the crowd, and that's why I was trying to come up with something easier that could be explained and handed out quickly.

Given Roger's past behavior, he does care what the fans think about him. Remember the guy who gave Roger the finger when they posed for a pic a while back. Roger made sure the guy lost his job for it.Goodell knows the Patriot fans hate his guts. So anything the fans do will not surprise him. And being the arrogantass he is, he really won't care what you do.
Just don't put the owner in a edgy position.
I really think a gofundme could raise the money.I love the idea of T-shirts, but the cost would be astronomical (pretend they're $1.00 each - which they'd obviously be more than that - you're talking $68,000+) and the logistics worry me in terms of the fact we'd be talking a massive truck with pallettes of boxes that we'd have to get into the lots and then spread them around the stadium in order to be able to get them handed out by game time, and we'd have the issue of running out of them at one location while then trying to getting them moved from one spot to another.

You sure he's not showing how much #Integrity the NFL shield really has?
I think rather than spend a lot of $$ on signs or shirts yourself, it should be a "get out the vote" type message - put it out there on the Internet that everyone should wear a clown shirt or bring a home-made sign "welcoming" Roger to the stadium. A lot of people will be into it. Rather than purchasing the shirts yourself, let others know where they can buy them, or try to get Barstool Sports or somebody to sponsor them and give them out. They could put their logo on the shirts and they'd be advertising, which they can write off as a business expense.I love the idea of T-shirts, but the cost would be astronomical (pretend they're $1.00 each - which they'd obviously be more than that - you're talking $68,000+) and the logistics worry me in terms of the fact we'd be talking a massive truck with pallettes of boxes that we'd have to get into the lots and then spread them around the stadium in order to be able to get them handed out by game time, and we'd have the issue of running out of them at one location while then trying to getting them moved from one spot to another.

Obviously, his gesture applies to both. Also to the amount of evidence proving Brady's suspension was justified.You sure he's not showing how much #Integrity the NFL shield really has?

Two yrs ago at the opening game, they had us all hold up placards with a cut out for our eyes, so we could see the other side of the stadiums cards that were spelling out the Superbowl Championships, how hot **** would that be while at the samevtime holding up the clown sign over our heads so we could all see that too!!!As far as a solution, I was thinking of a hand-held sign (probably 12" wide or so) with a photo of the Goodell Clown Logo on that T-Shirt that people can hold up.
