I hate the Martian shirt so much too!!  I won't even wear it on the trainer.  Alone.  Maybe I'll put mine up for grabs in the Pay it Forward thread since it has never seen the light of day and some people dig it...


Oh, great idea!  I friggin hate this shirt so much.  I'm not even really sure where it is.

You guys are whack...the martian shirts are awesome, and conversation pieces.  The one from the year before was even better...couldn't go wrong with that.  

Ugliest shirt ever goes to the Milford Labor Day 30K. Hideousness cannot describe how gut-wrenching this shirt was. Never to be worn again...Trix COMPLETELY has my back on this one.

I'll post a pic if I get off my azz and photograph it.

caedenspa - 2009-07-21 2:16 PM I agree!  That martian shirt ROCKS! 

And thus, the difference between men & women.  The chicks would probably prefer a pastel shirt with flowers & kittens, and the dudes want martians, monsters, and explosions.

Sizes are a different issue.  The RD should be able to order EXACTLY the right number of shirts in each size based on what you fill out on the entry form. 


NO!!!!!!  Pastels and kittens and flowers?  Nope, would be really pissed if I got a race shirt like that.

I LOVE the martian shirt too, that is priceless.  Any shirt with pictures of a fuel belt is cool in my book.  The turkey in the sports bra, not so much. 

The worst I've got is from the Columbia Triathlon this year.  A HIDEOUS brown orage.  And it's got a picture of a mountain on it.  Um, Columbia is hilly, but there are no mountains in the middle of MD.

I found the perfect visual representation of how ugly the shirts have gotten.  Check out the Peachtree Road Race shirts from the 70s andthe 2000s.
(you have to scroll down some)

The 1974 shirt is my favorite.  My least favorite is the one I got which is the 2009.

What I noticed too is they take a rectangle area and put a big picture on it like it's face cake.

That is the worst thing I have ever seen. Too bad it isn't christmas themed. It would make a great ugly x-mas sweater party shirt if it were..

The ones I got from most MTB races were nice, the one I just got from the Summer of Love 5 miler here in Wilmington, NC was pretty nice, too.
If anyone has the Martian in L or XL and they don't want it...send me a PM and I'll send you $5 to mail it to me, lol.

I thought that martian one was a bike jersey... honestly I'm not a fan of the dri-fit shirts, but then maybe that's becuase like someone else said, they never fit right. I hate wearing guys (er, I guess 'unisex' shirts).

Someone needs to start a Coolest Event Shirt thread, I've got some nominations.
