Adam - very sorry to hear the news - we've all got your back and our eyes pealed for a good journalism job.
Suldog - for a few extra bucks can we personalize them with our screen names like jerseys? :-)
Yeah, But...

Jersey names

A lot of anons - so they have to pay a $5 premium for the most popular jersey - kind of like Celtics jerseys with Pierce on them!

Maybe not. We've got a very bright bunch here, IMVHO. Floating a few ideas won't hurt, right?

I do admit that "uHub" scares me so in that Web2.0 kind of way.
DON'T GO INTO BETA, ADAM!
Have To Admit...

I like this one. If Adam does, of course, then that's all that matters.

"Next time bring your sistah. U Hub!"
or
Above big pic of Adam's face: "Oops, was that out loud? I must be Gaffin'."
or
"What's all the hubbub?
Find out at U Hub!"
Another idea

Across top of shirt:
Learn the Difference
Left center of the shirt:

Caption: Angry-gator
Right center of shirt:

Caption: Aggregator
Across the bottom:

"Are The Stars Out Tonight?
I Don't Know If It's Cloudy Or Bright
'cause I Only Have Eyes For U-Hub!"
"Do You Attend A Hub U? Then You Should Be Reading U-Hub!"
"Universal Hub! It's Universal! It's A Hub! What More Do You Need To Know?"
Well, OK, I didn't say that I was part of that very bright bunch.
Come on, people. You know you can do better than me. Let 'em rip!

This call to arms comes just as I was putting together a CafePress store in preparation for St. Patrick's Day. Paul McMorrow and I had a few at Foley's a couple of weeks ago and came up with a genius T-shirt idea. Or maybe it was the Guinness talking.
I'd be happy to cut Adam in for a third, in exchange for his official UHub sponsorship. Adam, you know where I live.
Fashionable and practical

Print the shirts on ShamWow fabric. It's machine washable and easily removes cola, wine and french toast stains.
a little more abstract
By gribley
Tue, 02/03/2009 - 7:14pm
Thanks for bringing this up, Suldog.
I was thinking abstractly -- taking the idea of "universe", along with the T token from Adam's title bar. This is just a mockup; needs some work.

That's the Cat's Eye Nebula (NASA/Hubble image), but any exploding celestial object might do as well.
Like the Old 1980s Dr.Who Show Intro?

How about a graphic of someone graffiti-ing UNIVERSAL HUB on some landmark with the caption of "Innocent, etc."?
That could be on the back, and there could be a little piece french toast on the front!
I LOVE that idea!

The "Innocent, etc." line still cracks me up when I see it!

"Innocent, etc." on the front - Universal Hub on the back (or sleeve.)
A stylized T-Token image (perhaps going into a MassHole) with Universal Hub inscribed on the token.
French Toast alert set up Warhol style.
lame idea
By margalit

UHub: We out the Massholes
UHub ledes make you laugh
Boston's greatest news, now at Uhub
And this is why I suck at titles.

Contest?

If you can decide on some good slogans or whatever, it would be great to offer a contest for the actual design. The winner could get a free T-shirt. I would probably participate.

Simple black T-shirt with white lettering:
UNIVERSAL HUB - The Thinking Man's Boston Globe.
And before all the legal beagles tellme the million ways that would end up in a lawsuit, may I add that I am:
Innocent etc.
