Following the Hoelzer Reich fiasco, it’s refreshing to see an MMA t-shirt sponsor that actually gets it right. Sure, there’s a skull in Clay Guida‘s new "Run to the Hills" tee ($40) from Silver Star — which the Carpenter will be wearing during his cage-entrance at UFC 107 — and yes, the skull thing has already been beaten into the ground. But as any metal fan could tell you, that skull belongs to Iron Maiden mascot Eddie the Head. Maybe you would appreciate this more if you had just been listening to "The Trooper" before you saw this. Or maybe you’d be more interested in some of the other signature tees that will be on display this Saturday…
(Cheick Kongo‘s signature shirt from TapouT, $28: Those colors do run.)
(BJ Penn‘s Penn X Limited Edition Tee from RVCA, $32: Wear it to the death.)
(Diego Sanchez‘s spiritually-charged Bad Boy walkout tee, $39.95)
(Kenny Florian‘s zombie-samurai-themed walkout tee from TapouT, $28)
(More zombie-samurai action courtesy of Frank Mir‘s "Uncrushable" t-shirt from Ecko, $28.)
(You won’t see it on Saturday, but if you buy one piece of Kimbo Slice-related apparel, please let it be TapouT’s Doomsday tee, $24. My God, that thing is amazingly hideous.)

commentsEvery single one of those is heinous except BJ's... I'm a fan of minimalism and I took my Maiden posters down when I was like 12.
The Mir shit is nice
Kongo shit is uninspired but okay on a "it doesnt blatantly suck" level
Florian should wear a Zoolander movie tee (the whole zombie samurai thing would seem to be crazy in concept - until you actualy see it and it just kinda looks dumb)
Kimbo's shirt is, well, lets just say in a cage fight against the other shirts his shirt would fare just about as well as he usually does.
Diego's design could have been more 'in your face' with the religious theme but the artists were so used to doing skulls...
p.s. I'm afraid that if I buy the Frank Mir shirt that at some point in time I will get my tongue pierced, work at a strip club for dirt cheap, then talk shit about a guy twice my size and end up in the fetal position taking 4xl fists to the dome.
Kermit The Frog + The Lone Rangers = The Smoking Popes
A chainsaw + Strippers snorting meth with Ron Jeremy + Emma Goldman = The Suicide File
BJ's looks like he made it himself.

No shit. It's refreshingly basic, in a short-bus kinda way.
That's the funniest thing I've read all month!!!
But yeah, I think the whole Alkiline Trio thing is his way of supporting his hometown scene... Too bad he didn't go with The Smoking Popes...
....no...no there is not.
@Barc: Doubt it. If you saw the press conference, I think BJ some wacky RVCA t-shirt with a weird graphic of a chick. Anyways, they covered the logo with duct tape. He'll probably just end up wearing one of his ugly non-RVCA shirts from his online store.
