T shirts put out by Berg include Pinnochio-hontas, Mailroom Manager rules, WOMG!Storm Center/Biff Buffington, etc.

From bergsportswear.com site:
>>From Howie Carr, 2001. This is the very 1st shirt done for The Howie Carr Show. The shirt was done to squelch the persistence of a very close friend, Malcolm French, who insisted that Howie need something to go along with the topic of the popular ?Daisy Cutter? bomb that everybody wanted to drop on Iraq.
The design was decided in a 10 minute phone call between me and the art dept on a Thursday morning (I was on the road on a separate selling trip). By that afternoon the shirts were printed and sent (NEXT DAY AIR) to Howie Carr’s radio station. I just sent a note stating that ?I heard the Daisy Cutter was a popular subject, here’s some free shirts have some fun!? Friday Howie opened the box and was thrilled! He started mentioning it on his show that afternoon and the rest is history. We received calls from all over the country. Not only were the calls to buy shirts, but the calls also thanked Berg Sportswear many times over, for showing support for the troops and having the courage to do so in spite of the controversies surrounding war.

>>Five people and a Maine corporation have been indicted on federal charges in connection with a massive marijuana operation that was uncovered in Washington County in September 2009. It took more than 60 state and federal law enforcement officers almost a week that fall to harvest nearly 3,000 high-quality marijuana plants worth an estimated $9 million from a remote area in Township 37 near the town of Wesley and about 10 miles off Route 9.

>>The massive pot plantation was found after a tip was left on the Maine State Police Troop J website. When police flew a plane over the operation, people on the ground set fire to several buildings being used as dormitories before the suspected growers fled.

In a press release issued Monday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced that Malcolm French, 50, of Enfield; Rodney Russell, 48, of South Thomaston; Kendall Chase, 55, of Bradford; Robert Berg, 49, of Dexter; and Haynes Timberland Inc., a Maine corporation, had been indicted on federal drug and other charges arising from the Sept. 22, 2009, seizure of 2,943 marijuana plants.

All four men were arrested Sunday...

French, Russell and Chase are charged with conspiracy to manufacture more than 1,000 marijuana plants. French, Russell, Berg and Chase are charged with manufacturing more than 1,000 marijuana plants. French, Russell and Haynes Timberland Inc. are charged with managing and controlling property used to manufacture marijuana. French, Russell and Berg also are charged with harboring illegal aliens. In addition, Berg is charged with assisting individuals conspiring to manufacture marijuana evade apprehension.

Berg appears to be the owner of Berg Sportswear, the Corinna business that does custom screen printing and embroidery that was raided by federal investigators in January 2011. Documents made public in July indicated that investigators were looking for evidence that Berg was using logos for major sports teams illegally.
