Fashion: Welcome to Hoogerland!

I’m not sure if I’ve ever spent $25 on a t-shirt (or any kind of shirt, actually – excluding cycling jerseys!) but I’m tempted to now.  I discovered this fantastic shirt yesterday when someone posted an image of it during Velonews’ live coverage of the Tour de France. It’s beautifully designed and perfectly timed. I really applaud the hustle, getting the shirt together just days after Hoogerland’s horrific crash into the barb-wire fence on Sunday. I went to the company’s website (www.stomachofanger.com) and was happy to see that the operation was founded by a couple of guys in Michigan. I was going to buy the Hoogerland shirt, but then the Andy Schleck “My Stomach is Full of Anger” one really caught my eye. Then I noticed the Jens Voigt “Shut up legs” and thought that was the one for me. Now, as usual, I’m paralyzed by indecision and a tight budget. Anyway, check out the shirts.
