Red, White & Blue Sale

The 2012 Summer Olympics kicked off Friday in London. Mr. Bean was a fantastic surprise and my favorite moment from the opening ceremonies. View it here. What a mug that guy has, eh?

Combine Mr. Bean with a killer day one of the games and we are in a great, patriotic mood. So champs, enjoy $5 off all our true red, white, and blue shirts until Sunday (7.29.12) at midnight (EST) or until supplies last. Offer is valid for all US and Canadian orders (because we love our neighbors to the north).

In case you are colored blind (poor bastards), below are the shirts on sale that have already been discounted $5 for your convenience.

Southern Creases Adult

Blackbeard Adult

Good Things Adult

Good Things Youth

Despite the discount, we will still donate 15% of the sales from Blackbeard to the Kids ‘N Community Foundation. Save money and donate to a fabulous charity! Tell your pals.

On a side note, was anyone else shocked at how thrilling archery was today? Or how about Michael Phelps barely qualifying? And how sick is the women’s USA soccer team? Nice little appetizer before the hockey season, no?

OET went in as the underdog. I’m not making gear “for the boys, by the boys.” Nope, last time I checked I was definitely a female and I focus more on the ladies of the ice. My company also isn’t based in northern hockey country, rather the good ‘ol south of U.S. of A. Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect when we launched. To add to my stress, I entered OET is a best business social media competition against companies that were already in business and have customers. Do you see why the anti-acids were important?

Hands down, this is the design I’m most pumped to reveal. I’m so excited about this line, I don’t even know where to start. Please hold while I give fake fist bumps to an invisible bench.

Now that we got that out of the way…

OET gave birth in Raleigh, North Carolina, so it is no surprise we’re Carolina Hurricanes fans. If you follow us on Twitter or Facebook, you also know we are a little partial to goalies and we have one of the best in Carolina. Cam Ward is a Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe winner. The All-Star netminder also became the first starting goaltender to win the NHL championship as a rookie since Patrick Roy in 1986. He also has some of the sickest goalie mask art in the game thanks to EYECANDYAIR. Read more
