From a friend of mine who is looking for any leads to the old t-shirts.

 

Around the time that the new ballpark opened up there was a printing of T-shirts in successive years that chronicled the White Sox disdain for our neighbors to the north.  This was way back when David Letterman was host of Late Night on NBC.  The front of the shirt had the yellow and blue logo that said “Late Night with the South Siders.”  On the back was the top tens reasons why cub fans are losers.  This shirt was so popular that the next year

 

They created eleven more reasons why cub fans are losers.  I had this shirt and have since out-grown it and am curious if anyone else remembers the full list of reasons.  The ones I remember are: “glue posters of Ryne Sandberg to the bedroom ceilings” and “consider Ron Santo a legend.”  Since Bo Jackson was with the team and the “Bo Knows” series of commercials from Nike had just finished a successful run, the number one reason was “Bo knows that they’re losers.”

I have that T-Shirt, but I ain't sellin it

Not a clue, I bought it outside of the park years ago...

Do you have the list of reasons on hand? I've been told that's actually all he wants.

 

(sheesh, nothing like being a middle man.)

I'm at work, the T-shirt is at home. Sometime over the weekend I will look them up and post them.

Thanks, appreciate it.

Top Ten Reasons Why Cubs Fans are Losers

 

10. No place to park the BMW

9. Nobody shows up until the 3rd inning.

8. Harry used to be a Falstaff man.

7. Seventh inning singalong is the only exercise they get.

6. Bleacher Bums - yuppies in search of a tan.

5. The outfield ivy is catnip for the immature.

4. Think the "wild thing" is a pitcher.

3. Have you ever seen a Sox fan wearing a flourescent cap?

2. Throw back home run balls. Keep no balls; have no balls.

1. It takes a loser, to like a loser.

Tuesday night I saw a 20 something year old wearing a "jersey" T-shirt #14. Paul Konerko right? Nope, Julio Franco.

 

I didn't think they sold those back then.

He might have had it customized. That's how I got my Damaso Marte jersey shirt, and I've seen Willie Harris ones too.

 

Also, in 1999 I remember seeing "Top 3 Chicago Disasters: - Da Fire, Da Flood, Da Cubs"

That's been changed this year by Cubs fans.

if your referring to the "disaster shirt"

those have been around a loooooong time, dissing the sox.

Yeah, I saw them being sold in two versions: one that said Sox, one that said Cubs. By the same vendor, an elderly Asian woman.
