Got Myself a Mothering Hut

Not sure if you guys have heard of the Mothering Hut but they design high quality t-shirts with catchy slogans and references to athlete’s which only the astute (and I use that term loosely) fan would understand. I recently got in on the action and purchased my very first Mothering Hut and figured I would share it with you. So which one? BAM!

Tainted Love can be purchased directly from The Mothering Hut

This shirt celebrates sports history’s more dubious achievements, its most notorious statistics, its numerology of shame. A great shirt for trivia geeks, history buffs, and general haters alike!
