FanToys: "I'm Gordon Bombay, Minneapolis, Minnesota"

1:14 PM / Posted by Bradford Oman /

If there's one thing that hasn't changed much in the film industry, it's the fill-in-the-blank inspirational sports film. One athlete, one team, must overcome the obstacles, face adversity, and rise to the top and be remembered forever.

Well now you can be part of the dream! Over at the lame-dubbed MyPartyShirt.com they have a great collection of novelty t-shirts commemorating some of the best fictional sports athletes and teams. While most of their shirt creations border on being blatant rip-offs of the far superior BustedTees collection of pop culture related paraphernalia, these shirts are truly unique.




Do you know what movies all of these hail from?

Tidwell #85 - Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding, Jr., Jerry Maguire)
Boucher #9 - Bobby Boucher (Adam Sandler, The Waterboy)
Finkle #5 - Ray Finkle (creepy serial killer character from Ace Ventura: Pet Detective)
Bombay #66 - Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez, The Mighty Ducks)
Rowengartner #1 - Henry Rowengartner (Thomas Ian Nicholas, Rookie of the Year)
Falco #16 - Shane Falco (Keanu Reeves, The Replacements)

This is just a sample of the sports jersey t-shirts offered. Others include the following teams and names: West Canaan Coyotes (Varsity Blues), Cleveland Indians (Major League) and from The Mighty Ducks names like Conway, Averman, Banks and Reed (also included are Portman and Gaffney, but since they never wore the Ducks jersey in its form that exists on the t-shirt I'm calling movie nerd shennanigans and telling you to steer clear of them.)

For an added flashback bonus this site also has available for purchase the team shirts from Nickelodeon's physical challenge series Legends of the Hidden Temple.
