T-Shirts and Facial Hair, United At Last

Name That Mustache!

That mustache is, of course, Robin Yount’s mustache (or is it? see bottom). This is just one in what I can only describe as a fantastic line of baseball t-shirts available at Nike’s website. Although I have to admit that I can’t identify all of the players from their designs, there are a few great ones.

My personal favorites, aside from the obvious Yount shirt, have to be the Mike Schmidt Phillies shirt, the Keith Hernandez Mets shirt, and the Reggie Jackson (glasses included!) Yankees shirt.

Personally, I think this is a great idea, and I would love to see some with more players, both historic and current. A Joe Mauer sideburns t-shirt would be excellent, and a Rollie Fingers t-shirt (A’s or Brewers) seems necessary here. I’m also a big fan of Gorman Thomas’s mustache, but that might be too powerful for one t-shirt to handle.

With only 13 designs already made and only three suggested by myself here, we’re left with what must be endless possibilities. Do you have anybody else you’d like to see added to this line? While I wait for my Robin Yount shirt to get shipped, let me know in the comments section!

EDIT: At first, I didn’t think the curl in the mustache was powerful enough to be Fingers (and I suppose the Brewers yellow of the shirt made me think it was Yount’s blonde mustache). Here are pictures for comparison (looks like it was indeed Fingers).

Dennis Eckersley Red Sox/A’s shirt. He’s sported the same mustache/hair combo since the 80’s, he needs some kind of recognition.

I think the Cubs shirt is Eck.

Why, of all teams, would they pick the Cubs? =/
