 Ahhh…the feeling
of an outdoor concert. The wind blowing through your hair.
Sounds reverberate through your limbs. The tapping of your feet and
the nodding back and forth of your head in synch with the drum
tempo. Whether you’re a rocker, R&B fan, hip hop dancer,
country lover, classicist, or soul sister – you don’t want to miss
out on this year’s Raider summer shirt. You may be a parent
who dreams of the good ole’ days and wishing you were Mike Damone
scalping concert tickets on
Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Or maybe you really want to
reach back when hundreds of thousands embarked on Max Yasgur’s dairy
farm for Woodstock. Or maybe you are a swimmer who found time
to skip out on practice to catch a Dave Matthews show for a measly….ahem!…
80 bucks a pop. (Careful! Coaches go to shows, too – you wouldn’t
want to get caught!).
Dream no further. This summer, the Raiders are bringing the concert fever right to you! With the announcement of this summer’s Dayton Raider meet schedule comes with great fanfare and a marketing blitz. That’s right, this year’s world tour schedule will be pasted right on the back of a shirt. Who would have ever thought of such a novel idea? No one seems to waste their hard earned money buying those cheap, easily-faded concert shirts from years past anymore. You’d have to search the bowels of eBay to get that once sought after “Van Halen 1984” concert shirt, and even if you could find it you will pay another ten bucks in shipping from some guy who lives cross town. Or, maybe you’re a musical nostalgic and plan to throw down big bucks on the upcoming Police and the Spice Girls reunited tours (“We’re not doin’ it for the money, man!”). Save your dough and stay home and don’t miss practice. This summer’s rockin’ Raider shirt can be had for a mere ten bucks. Buy two and it will cost you twenty, a big savings. You can scalp ‘em if you want like Damone did, but if you get caught, don’t bring the fuzz down on us. Here’s the best part – when someone on the street asks “Hey, who are the Dayton Raiders?” due to the noticeably lack of the word "swimming", you can reply with anything you want. |
