As I understand it, these online printing companies like spreadshirt use printing technologies inferior to screen printing. Essentially they put a chemical onto the shirt, then laser print on top of the chemical which makes the laser ink stick to the chemical, which sticks to the fibers in the shirt. Before making the #BEATBAMA shirts I spoke with the major players online, and they all described their printing technologies similarly. That's is why I decided to go with a local screen printer.
Also, with tax and shipping, that shirt will be well over the $25 we're going to charge, and the money won't support the website. I expect our's will be printed by the start of the season. If you can be patient, I ask that you hold off and support our effort.

I'd kill for a Nike version, simply for being a label whore, but I will own the horse on a treadmill on a helmet on an orange shirt supporting the key play. I will wear it proudly and keep pointing to the website during games.
That being said, if nike makes one, I'm down with that immediately. :)

HE APPROVES
Does the back have the horse on a treadmill logo?
If this is real then I just jizzed. If this is not real, I still jizzed.
Is this some sick joke? Where did you find this?
I'm so sad this isn't real.
Every year WVU has a fan vote for their shirt. I want this badly, so we need to make our word heard.
Nike you make this and it will be hotter than any Doerenbeccher release.
I'd buy that right now! I wish i could just make my own shirts so i wouldn't be an issue, i'd probably get sued though.
Approval.
For what it's worth. This is going to be one of the next shirts we sell. I am still finalizing the design.
I will definitely be owning this.
There's already a pretty decent HoT shirt: http://beatbama.spreadshirt.com/horse-on-a-treadmill-invent-the-future-A...

Oh, dude, I didn't even look at your post before I put this up. My bad. I'd probably buy both. Can't have too much horse on a treadmill.
i did the same with the small batch of the #BEATBAMA shirt that i designed. the online companies seem to have an inferior product at a higher price
I have a bunch of careen printing stuff. Made my Low Brau T's. best stuff, and much cheaper. Plus you have a ton of T options.
