VR is the man.  Angels are lucky to have him.

[GregAlso]

I think it's cool what he's doing but I wonder what the Angels think about his trademark? They sell outa here shirts from Terry's HR call and I imagine they'd want to sell LTBU shirts in the future too. This could be interesting. Love the cause VR is supporting.

I am sure VR ran it by the Angels before proceeding.

 I really like the idea of the design contest. Good stuff there at LTBU!

[Chuck]

I'm getting one. Love the design. Our own Brian Ilten's company designed the logo for Victor.

I am sure VR ran it by the Angels before proceeding.

They might even have some sort of boilerplate license agreement for trademarks held by people in the Angels organization should the Angels decide to sell these in the stores.

Sounds like he's using his media platform to shill his own schwag and make money on the side.

Surprised the org allows it.

[Brandon]

I might be down if he has some tank tops

That's the conclusion you came to after reading the post?  Well, I guess thanks are in order for reading the post.  Second, EVERY penny of profit/royalty from LTBUShop is going to Miracle League and on top of that, we're personally going to add to it.  The site's up and running and if nothing comes of it, no big deal...we'll still be donating to Miracle League and other charities as we choose.

I don't think the post says EVERY PENNY is going to charity, so thanks for the clarification.

You got it and I've updated the post.

[BaseballMom]

I will definitely be buying one of these.  Love that proceeds are going to the Miracle League.

They did a great job on all the designs.  Having trouble picking out my favorite.

I think the script is cool. Red or orange script on black shirt.

[Ohtaniland]

Great idea for a great cause. Using his own catch phrase LTBU to help out a very special and worthy organization like the Miracle League says a lot about who Victor Rojas is.

Good call by Victor because LTBU now has more meaning in special kinda way.

[Rochambeau]

I I am hoping to hear that catch phrase about 11 more times this year then we did last year. also, I think we need more Oppo Tacos, I for one love that phrase.

[Bombsauce]

I think it's cool Victor is taking the time to do this. Fun gear and a great cause. I am shocked he posted on the AW site. Super cool! Now how many shirts do I have to buy to get him to say "Bomb Sauce" when Hamilton hits a home run?

[Inside Pitch]

I'm getting one. Love the design. Our own Brian Ilten's company designed the logo for Victor. 

 

 

Yeah -- going to have to get a couple of those.   Absolutely awesome and I'm stoked to hear that Brian is involved.

[Dave Saltzer]

Victor,

 

Once again you are proving what a class act is, IMHO. I don't know if you saw my interview with Eddie Guardado (it's posted on the site), but as a fan, I really enjoy seeing players and celebrities using their fame to help good causes. It would be a lot harder for any one person without the celebrity status to achieve the level of support that a celebrity can generate by getting behind a cause.

 

Thanks for showing that there is a lot more to baseball than just the game on the field.

You should really read the article.

[gotbeer]

So, is he going to put the oppo taco shirts in his shop?  

 

There are some nice designs in there.  Brian you did a great job in helping with the design.  

[Brent Maguire]

Love the shirts! I might have to get one.
