Help me, SCH-Kenobis

I hope the alcoholics enjoyed their cheesesteaks, so nice of our Blackhawks to win that bet for them.
Now, pointmesouth and I made a bet of our own with a couple of our friends who happen to be Flyers fans, and we'll be settling up in a couple of weeks. The obvious choice was Yuengling, but as I'm flying in and out of Philadelphia we didn't think that would work. But we're headed down to the Jersey shore, and one thing they have an abundance of there -besides water ice and people with bad tans - are places where you can get things airbrushed on a T-Shirt.
But what to get airbrushed? And that's where you all come in. I don't know how skilled they're going to be as far as pictures, so I figure we should probably stick to a phrase.
I've got nothing. I refused to let myself consider any possibilities back when the idea was fresh and the series was ongoing, and apparently I haven't found a way to turn it back on. Buff being traded didn't help much, either. So I need you guys to help me think of something other than I (heart) Patrick Kane.
So give me your ideas! Hoping to avoid anything completely profane (fucking weird, I know) and I actually like these two, so hopefully nothing that will get them stabbed with a broken bottle on SEPTA, but other than that, go nuts! I promise to fanshot the results.

well, I guess it depends
do you want the phrase to be Blackhawks-related or general Chicago dominance?
I’m guessing things like “Mrs. Kane” or “Mrs. Byfuglien” might work, or “I want to ride in a limo with Kane” – although that’s a bit wordy. “Italian beef > cheesesteaks”?
Chicago > Philly, but with a hockey angle
I have to say, I do like the limo one.
Go jump in Toews Lake.
We came. We saw.
We ate your cheesesteaks.

One Goal - Achieved 2010
How would you like a job where, every time you make a mistake, a big red light goes on and 18,000 people boo?
you could go with a take on the "with Love, Philadelphia XOXO" ad campaign
Option 1 (or something to this effect):
Dear Philadelphia,
What do we have in common with New Jersey, Boston, and Montreal?
Hint: We never found out, even though you promised we would. But you should go talk to Nashville, Vancouver, and San Jose — you all have loads in common.
With Love,
Chicago XOXO
Option 2:
Dear Stanley Cup Champions,
Oh wait, that’s us.
With Love,
Chicago XOXO
Oh, and you should put a small drawing of the stanley cup on the shirt, and try to make it look as close to the “With Love, Philadelphia” logo — like with that red heart in the sig, and the XOXO in red…..

Maybe something like this?
Or maybe the text on the front and the Stanley Cup on the back?
Or something like this on the front and another slogan on the back?
You could even just come up with a design and have them order it for you online at one of the t-shirt sites.

Or maybe the Stanley Cup on the back with:
“2010 Stanley Cup Champions, Chicago Blackhawks”, or
“Thanks Philly”

these are amazing
I do like the idea of ripping off that XOXO philly campaign.
Go jump in Toews Lake.
They definitely did the “oh wait that’s us” one for the Phillies when they won the world series. CNS’s one is really great too. I have a poster that I got from the lucky bar that says something like, “we see your deep dish and raise you a whiz wit, xoxo etc” if you have strong feelings about Chicago pizza and/or cheesesteaks.
yeah, i ripped the "oh wait" one off the Phillies ad
and the first suggestion is ripped off of the one they did going into the SCF (“what do New Jersey, Boston, and Montreal have in common…you’re about to find out.”)
though we know from personal experience at BSH that you Philly fans have really strong feelings about cheesesteaks, right! jk. ;)

Wideman's line & CNS' signature
“Lord Stanley’s new address: Sweet Home Chicago!”
Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene."
"Pronger is Byfuglien's bitch
FOR SALE: pair of shoes, red, size 32 1/2 wide. Please direct all bids to Joel Quenneville, Chicago Blackhawks. Clown horn sold seperately. Also for sale: 328 dogs+1 pistol (bargain price for Leafs fans!)
I mean, if you can convince yourself that 1 bad game makes you more someone’s bitch than 4 bad games and having to be moved to another line, more power to you, I guess.
(Can I veto it on account of it being kind of misogynistic and not as clever as a lot of the other suggestions?)
Fair enough on not as clever
But it’s not really misogynistic, is it? “Making someone your bitch” has kind of passed into the common vernacular instead of still being a potshot at women, has it not? Kind of the same way that calling someone a “hooligan” is no longer a shot at the Irish, even though it originally was.
well then, you could always just make it
“Byfuglien +3
Pronger -5
Chicago: 2010 Stanley Cup Champions"
and just because something has passed into the common vernacular doesn’t make it any less misogynistic. It just no longer has the same impact.
this
the part about misogyny anyway.

But
don’t you really need intent for something to be genuinely racist/sexist? You could argue that because it’s kind of lost the original meaning (like my hooligan example above), it’s lost (or at least started to lose) its sexist undertones.
you always don't need intent
Case in point: lots of Indian people say racist things all the time. They don’t say them intending to be racist (i.e. to make someone else feel inferior), they just think the depricating over-generalizations are actually true.
In fact, i’m pretty sure the bulk of racist comments or actions are uttered by people not actually intending to be racist. It maybe even possible that Mel Gibson doesn’t even think he’s being racist, yet he is.

Yeah
that’s what I was trying to get at with the “genuinely racist” part. Although, with that in mind, you could potentially make the case that no-one’s actually racist then, because if they knew that the stereotypes weren’t true and hence removed their prejudices, no discrimination would occur. Or that could just be the idealist in me talking.
ah well, what i was getting at was just b/c someone didn’t intend to say somethign racist, doesn’t mean it wasn’t actually racist. It just involves a more ingrained set of prejudices.

Ah, fair point
I probably should’ve known this was gonna be tough, considering I was going up against two lawyers/almost-lawyers (I don’t know what stage you’re at).
oh, I was saying the stats part
not the bitch part.
Mostly I just question the skills of people that work on the boardwalk in wildwood. If all else fails, we’re taking CNS’s shop and getting transfer paper and puffy paint.
Go jump in Toews Lake.
"Hey Philly, there's a new Rocky in town
and his name is on the Stanley Cup"?

What about this
Take this picture: 
but put Wirtz under Rocky instead of Balboa, and silhouette this picture: 
Sorry about the size.
There are only two seasons in Chicago; Hockey and Construction.
Depending on this particular air-brushing guidos skill with pictures...
Abe Lincoln sodomizing Ben Franklin?
While Abe’s holding the cup over his head.
Too profane? I didn’t think so either.
FYI Lincoln can easily be replaced by Ronald Reagan, I don’t mind.
You must have me confused with someone else, I have never been to Chicago.
[whispers] I sexually assaulted Scottie Pippen in 1997.
Leave Ben Franklin out of this.
Picture bloodbaths and elevator shafts
Like these murderous rhymes tight from genuine craft
nothing to add
except that I crack up a little everytime I read the title on this post.
June 30, 2010. We will rue this day.
