Syracuse Football Invites You (And TNIAAM) to Design the Official "Orange Out" T-Shirt

Back in April, the Syracuse Orange announced that the Friday, September 9 kickoff vs. Louisville would be deemed an "Orange Out" for fans (as opposed to all the other games when you wear PLATINUM). They also said the official shirt of the day would be submitted via fan design. That design contest officially began yesterday, with submissions being accepted until June 15. You'll notice the sample shirt is white and not orange. Don't get us started...

As the Syracuse #jokesandgarbage blog of record, of course, we couldn't help but toss out our own submissions here -- even if there's no way in hell most of them ever see the light of day at the Carrier Dome.

The one with the self-promotion:

The most (sadly) honest entry:

The one that's going to kill me:

The one you wish was real:

The one you REALLY wish was real (and may apply more to basketball, but who cares?):

The one about ol' what'shisname:

The one that could get a lot more frightening by the time this game kicks off:

And, of course, the only shirt for TRUE.fans everywhere:
