Even something as silly as the Gadsen Rattlers shirt will turn off people.  I think that one is harmless and kinda fun.  I'd probably wear that on 4th of july.  But again, for some, wearing that shirt is a political statement.

Ok thanks, I understand that part now. So how exactly are we partnering with them? Creating what kind of environment in the endzone? Like selling their shirts or something?

Why is it upsetting people?
Because nowadays everyone has to be upset about something.

Selling shirts with guns on them certainly will trigger some people.
And then there are those in the anti-war/anti-military type crowd.
And then there are those who just love to complain about anything.

Here's an idea for folks. Not into that clothing? Don't shop there.
If you sit in that EZ and think that you're magically gonna be surrounded by gun-toting ignorant violent racist folks... well you have a reality problem.

I swear... from the jerseys to the schedule to this... this board and the internet is full of some of the worst whiny lil twit Jaguar fans I've ever seen.
Good thing the internet really only represents a slim % of actual people.
