T-shirt sends new Steelers message ('Yes, We Can!')
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | December 16, 2008 | L.A. Johnson

Lissa Brennan is co-creator of what she considers "the best Steelers T-shirt ever. EVER!!!"

She and friend Dan Rugh -- owner of CommonWealth Press on the South Side -- have combined the Warhol-esque style of the Obama "Hope" posters with the dashing good looks of Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin into one great T-shirt.

The black shirt, which is hand silk-screened in white and gold ink, features Coach Tomlin's face, complete with his familiar sideline headset, above the phrase, "Yes We Can!"

As the Steelers march toward the playoffs, the president-elect's campaign motto also is a most suitable Steeler Nation battle cry.

"The Obama posters' design is so iconic and immediately recognizable, and I loved them and I also love Mike Tomlin," said Ms. Brennan, 38, of the South Side. "We have the sexiest coach in the NFL. You don't want a shirt with Bill Belichick on it."

I’m one of those long-suffering Miami Dolphins fans who is still clinging to a small shred of totally unrealistic hope that they might, just MIGHT, claw their way into the playoffs this season and that once there they might, just MIGHT, be able to DO something.

Pretty sick, eh?
