UConn - The 6th Borough

I get where you're coming from but unlike Yankee shirts that use the same idea, there are no dedicated UCONN subway lines to use on the shirt. The only thing I can think of is that they could have used the lines that lead to The Garden and not tried to spell out UCONN in the icons. That would probably keep us all happy because I love where their head was at with this and I'll be buying multiples.

Easy folks. All one has to do is check the map to see that the color coding is off. Had I been serious, I probably wouldn't have provided evidence to the contrary. There's a rule I forgot to follow: If you're the only one that "gets it," it ain't funny.

For what it's worth, I too like the concept. It's immediately recognizable to those of us that worked, or spent a lot of time, in the city. I hope it's part of, or ties into, an integrated program that identifies and stresses the UCONN, NYC relationship.

By the way, the more I see, the closer I get to convincing myself that the "Civil" whatever (and UCF) thing was not a Diaco idea. I'll explain myself when my fragile psyche is better equipped to handle the ridicule I'll probably receive.
 
EDIT: I'm going to take this back and say the shirts make total sense. After much thought and a bong hit or two I realize that the shirt's main point is that UCONN/Storrs is the fictional, 6th borough of NYC. Thus, we can use as many fictional subway stops as we like.

So sayeth the shepherd, so sayeth The Yard.

So yeah, UConn's uh not like really in New York man, so, like, it's cool that it's not a real train line, not a train, train, man, but an underground train..in a city...what do they call those? Yeah...a subway......oh a Subway would be awesome right now!
 
I got my 6th borough t-shirt in the mail yesterday. My wife is "thrilled" :confused: that I bought another UConn t-shirt/sweatshirt/hat/beer-bottle-opener-that-plays-fight-song/etc.... It may be time for her to go ;). I keeed, I keeed.

SAMCO: Alright, my 6th Borough t-shirt came!

Mrs. SAMCO: "Sigh, Do you really need another UConn shirt."

SAMCO: "Yes, do you really need to keep flapping your damn pie hole woman?

Mrs. SAMCO: "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!?"

SAMCO: Nothing, wait, that was out loud? Crap, it's gonna be a long weekend.

Pretty much nailed it.
 
Rye, NY and Port Chester, NY were part of Connecticut in colonial times. If we take them back, we'll only be about 8 miles from the Bronx.
