THAT'S A WOLF SHIRT, DUDE

We're all very excited for you, Steve Sarkisian. Finally get the head coaching job. The big chair. Your own whistle. The van with the moon roof and kickass shag carpet for the lady to roll around on in her birthday suit. It's all brilliant--almost as brilliant as Steamed Manila Clams with Chorizo with Flying Fish.

But the background of your Twitter feed? That's not a scenic backdrop. It's a wolf shirt stretched across my screen, dude.

The new face of Washington football: WOLF SHIRT.

This might really help them if they're bent on recruiting 5 star recruits who frequent 4chan. (HT: The Doc.)

Having seen all variations of “wolf shirts” during my years growing up in the great NW, that image is not of the sort. A Siberian Husky set above Husky Stadium and a streaky image distortion running away from it is a half-assed bit of art, indeed, but its certainly not of the tourist kitsch, hippy-making hallucinogenic vomit of native american-style animism. We love that animal (the Husky), and aren’t big on the wolf trip.

When you’re in Seattle next, Orson, if ever, I will take you to Flying Fish and present you with your very own dreamcatcher.

It has to do more with the twitter background than the meme, sir. But you’re so edgy for noticing!

Well, that’s just a waste of valuable thoracic real estate. How are the ladies going to know you’re an alpha male if all you can get to show up on your chest is one non-howling non-wolf? I wouldn’t be caught wearing that thing at the Dollar Tree, let alone Wal-Mart.

I feel sorry for a UW senior, having survived these past few disastrous years only to learn that his new head coach is an over-caffeinated eighth-grader who is way to enthusiastic about fish.

TOO, too enthusiastic. Aaaaarrrrgh.

That may be a wolf shirt but you can’t beat 3 wolfs on a shirt. I was going to buy this shirt no matter what but after reading the reviews for this, I purchased everyone in the family them. It wouldn’t surprise me if Tim Gunn wheres one underneath an Armani tux.

I’ve always thought of myself as a one man wolf pack

Tachwana dreamcatchers are the bomb!

What about my blogging outfit of choice, the baby orangutan spaghetti strap tank top? Still edgy?

Sark better watch out for that yellow snow.

Y’all are all wrong about the wolf t-shirts http://wbztv.com/local/newhampshire/Three.Wolf.Moon.2.1023400.html

Holly @ 11, edgy’s not quite the word that comes to mind.

No knock on wolf shirts, but as a native Alabamian, I always preferred the t-shirts that managed to combine lightning, bald eagles, and noble Indian chiefs. I admired the way they were able to pull together so many icons of mandom into one black Hanes beefy-T.
