How are they not the most popular team in baseball?

At the Nationals-Mets game on Sunday, Erin pointed out a t-shirt hanging on a vendor's stand outside of RFK stadium. The back of the shirt said "Deez Nats" on it.

The t-shirts were designed by Mike Kempf and Jeff Dorman who both graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a degree in novelty t-shirt design with a minor in logo creation. Washington University in St. Louis has a major in novelty t-shirt design? It is definitely the school that has classes like Professional Wrestling and its Effects on Society and Paris vs. Lindsay - An Examination into the Human Psyche.

While heading to the stadium, a woman walking by said to her husband, "One of their announcers must say Deez instead of These." I should have walked up behind her, tapped her on the shoulder, and asked her "Did what's his name get at you yesterday?"

Also, the creators of Deez Nats t-shirts hate the Mets.

I'm pretty sure the college class thing was a joke...unless they really did make "Red Coats Suck" t-shirts during the Revolutionary War.
Interesting comments on the website. Did you buy Kevvy the one that looks like a dachschund smelling two baseballs?
