Regina is in Canada, not a country and they wouldn't do such a thing.coloradocat wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2024 6:11 pmI think we can safely assume that these companies are not American and care little for our IP laws.

I haven’t seen an announcement yet, but I’d put money on the horse shirt to win again. I picked the stadium shirt though.

The stadium shirt should be the winner and it's not even close.
Don't let this distract you from the fact that the griz blew a 22-0 lead.

Re: Gold Rush t-shirt designs. Voting starts on Friday.
SHOULD BE, based on your opinion...and mine. But if they stick with the vote like they said they were doing, the horse shirt has a pretty big lead on Facebook and Instagram. The stadium one has the lead on twitter but far lower engagement there.
