Oh, Affliction. Couldn't you just keep your ugly shirts confined to boxing, MMA and annoying guys "at the club?" We're used to seeing splatter art designs of angels' wings, gargoyles and crosses. Why must you bring the ugliness to the NFL?

That's right, an Affliction/Washington Redskins shirt. True, Redskins fans don't always have the best taste, but this shirt seems more befitting of a Steelers fan. If you really want to, you can buy the shirt here for $31.99.

Thanks to Mr. Irrelevant

This shirt is tight.
I hope they will make them for all the NFL teams.
Some team logos will obviously look better than others, but it is not all that bad considering some of the fashion blunders the NFL approved in the early to mid 90's. Good Lord what were they thinking?

MAGGIE, THATS IT?,,I mean dam, after 3 to 20 blogs from your peers on 'Kimbo", I guess there was nothing to say about the going ons in the MMA world? Truely sad. The shirts look good to me, beats hell out the bulk of printed Tee's to come out from everyone who has a small shop in their house, spinning just BS.
COME on take the bull by the horn, stir it up! And while your at it take "CORNFIELDs"(Cofield) laptop away,the prick.
Throw FEDOR IN HERE, and watch it go! I hope he comes for even one fight (I dont know if he will), and watch him go through the fighers like Godzilla does Tokyo.

Maggie as much as I dislike Affliction as a promoter their shirts are ok, and you cant blame them for having the savy tap into a big money scene like the NFL. If you dont like it, dont buy it. Besides they are just taking after Dana, I mean he has enough savy to let Kimbo go on TUF without fighting to get in the house. You cant tell me theres not money driving him to that decision.

Hey! affliction shirts kick a$$.
get off ufc's nutz already and give these guy's some credit.
these would be a hell of alot more popular if they were less expensive, but they sure as hell blow tapout and ufc branding designs and over all quality of thier shirts!
i owne a couple of these shirts and i've gotten compliments almost everytime a wear one.

I am actually confused and suprised by this... What a coup for Attencio, really! I thought the NFL had UBER tough copyright and marketing agreements with big time companies like Reebok and Nike for all NFL apparel? Anyone have any idea how Affliction pulled this off? Is it just the Redskins he got a deal with or was it the NFL?

Great marketing movie by Affliction if they got a license from the NFL, but I agree that these are ugly and become walking cliches. Every frat boy, lemming and mall rat now wears one. It's quickly becoming the Izod/Members Only of this century.

I never really liked stuff that looks like this, it's too "busy" for my style. I like to keep a lower profile than that.

It's definitely not a classy shirt. It's something a testosterone filled young adult would wear.

I dont care for anything Affliction at all as most of you know but with the NFL as strict as they are it wouldn't surprise me if they fined players a few thousands for wearing these shirts.

The shirt is terrible, and as a Steelers fan I am insulted that you would think I would wear something like that.

So on top of being ugly, it's got a great racial slur right across the front. Excellent marketing.

Jeez guys! What's with all the venom towards Maggie? She's a Yahoo blogger for Pete's sake! She writes her opinions about anything that catches her fancy. If that's not what your looking for, then look elsewhere. It's not something to get so angry about.
Karma folks. What goes around, comes around. Think bad, get bad.... Whatever you want to call it. Lay off or move on.

The Unsilent Majority, it's not exactly like Affliction "invented" Redskins. It is the official licensed name of the franchise. I understand your point that the name Redskin is offensive to some Native Americans, but unless Washington changes the name of the team; how would you have Affliction market the shirt? Washington Native Americans? Washington Original Americans? Washington Indigiouness People of the New World? Not that you don't have a point, I'm just not sure the NFL or Dan Snyder would allow that to fly.

Holy crap another idiotic blog from Maggie.
I'm sorry that a redskins shirt can't be classy like the bright red monstrosity you were promoting "to celebrate Machida's victory" earlier. Gosh, I wonder if Machida's getting a nickle of those shirt sales?
OTOH, I guarantee that these shirts are officially licensed by the Redskins.
Your articles are consistently the worst thing in Yahoo's MMA section. Just give up now.

I like it. I hope they make those shirts for the NFL. The NFL has never been good at making team t-shirts. It's usually just the team logo on a solid color shirt. This would be a big improvement and finally a decent alternative to the team jersey.

I used to wear affliction T's when they were cool. Then I noticed a bunch of muscle heads wearing them and I said "time to let it go!" these are dorks who think they are cage fighters, 'cause their taking martial arts or kickboxing classes,YEAH RIGHT!!!!! Affliction is like wearing a GOLDS GYM T-shirt you bought at ROSS for $1.95.
