Window Shopping: Luck of the Irish?

We've all been there before. That moment when you start to panic because you really need to find that perfect gift for the die-hard Lakers fan in your life. Have no fear, the NBA Store has come to the rescue. Behold, this wonderful Lakers t-shirt pictured above. Don't take my word for it...according to the NBA Store website:
You'll love this adidas Originals Los Angeles Lakers super-soft, short-sleeve t-shirt. The high-quality cotton shirt is decorated in St. Patrick's Day colors and designed with the distressed team logo screen-printed on the chest for a vintage look.
I mean with Spring and warm weather approaching, who wouldn't want to show off a snazzy, "super-soft" t-shirt of their favorite team in the colors of their BIGGEST RIVAL! It's hard to imagine how this idea made it onto the screen-printer. Unfortunately, if this shirt doesn't tickle your fancy, you still need to wait a few months for the white Boston Red Sox shirt with navy pinstripes and the scarlet and gray University of Michigan shirts.

Yea, probably not the best marketing idea out there. Thing is, people will probably still buy it. There are St. Patty's things for everything. Biggest rival or not, in the words of the Boondock Saints themselves "Yeah, it's St. Patty's Day, everyone's Irish tonight. Why don't you just pull up a stool and have a drink with us?" The Lakers can't avoid the Guiness fever.
