WAG Saying or quotes on tshirts

[mimi]

I think the shirts with the quotes are less in the vein of "my sport is better than yours" and more in the vein of "hey, I know you may not know too much about gymnastics but it is a lot more than flitting around a floor in a shiny leo". All in good fun.

And over here football means soccer

Why run like a boy when you can flip like a girl.

 

[gymbeam]

err, boys do gymnastics too so its actually not a boy/girl thing at all. i'd hate to reinforce that stereotype.

 

[gracyomalley]

We stick with the positive stuff ; "Champions are made in Practice", "Dedication", Got Chalk? , I flip, stuff like that.

Partially because I don't approve of the "I work mine off to beat yours" attitude, but more because its what they pick (they get one hoodie a year, usually at regionals/state).

I do think the flexy one is funny - but my DD wouldn't have thought so....she can be way too serious

I agree... my daughter wouldn't wear the "flexy" one. I find the "bust mine" to be fairly offensive. DD had the football one when she was younger, but I think once you hit middle school, you don't really want to piss off the football players. I do like the "Your workout is my warmup" one, mostly because it's true.

DD got a "Keep calm and tumble on" shirt at a meet that she likes.

If anyone wants more ideas a website called viewsport has a bunch of cool tops. They are not all for gymnastics but most of them you can apply to gymnastics.
One of my favorite tops from there says "Run more than your mouth" haha
Also, they have what's called sweat activated apparel. When you sweat it reveals hidden messages.

Checked out this site. I liked the "strength is beautiful" shirt. On the back the message "train harder" is "sweat activated." Will keep this in mind for future gifts, though at $32 for a tank, it's pretty pricy.

Our old team t-shirts said the club name and logo on the front then our name under the logo. But the back was awesome ... It said
'' GYMNASTS DO IT
...
UPSIDE DOWN!!!''

With the upside down bit upside down

 

[NH~GymMom]

It's probably copyrighted but I loved the nike t-shirt that said on the front "you don't know me." And on the back "but you will."

Shawn Johnson wore it a few times during her comeback.

 

[GymMomXcel]

A favorite, but longer one, that my DD has.

This is more of a motivational saying, but I love it:

"If you don't practice, someone else will."

I guess you could make it into more of an in-your-face competitive type saying by changing it a bit, perhaps, "When you're not practicing, I am."

 

[Canadian_gym_mom]

This isn't related at all, lol, but I just saw a meme with a quote attributed to Mia Hamm, "My coach said I run like a girl. I told him if he ran a little faster, he could too."

 

[Granny Smith]

I kinda like the "I hang out at bars (with a picture of the uneven bars)", but my dd is in college, still doing gymnastics. I think it's kind of cute.

 

[gymbeam]

yeah, for the college crowd or for coaches (outside of gym) i think the shirt in my avatar is awesome.

 

[aksaunders]

I use this for my son's baseball team but it applies just as well: "Fear nothing. Attack everything."

 

[Sari]

Thank you again for the "this is my handstand shirt" idea! I had a customized shirt made at a local shop and I'm loving it. Everyone at the gym thinks it's genius, too!

 

[Uglybetty]

Saw another quote yesterday which would be good for a gym tshirt: Lots of people have the will to win, but few people have the will to prepare to win
