Sorry, Flo. It will always be The Jake to us.



It’s not like we want to upset Flo from Progressive Insurance. On the contrary. We here at Whiggy Tease find ourselves strangely attracted to her. Very strangely attracted.
However, the baseball stadium that sits below the Whiggy Tease World Headquarters in Cleveland will never be known as “Progressive Field” to us. It’s still Jacobs Field, or as we locals call it, “The Jake.”

So we’ve got a t-shirt for that.

What we’re lacking in a fancy design, or originality for that matter, we make up for in volume. There are tons of items with this design, and an even simpler alternative design, on sale now in our section just for Cleveland sports fans. Click here to visit.

But it ain’t just about our local ballpark. It’s about all ballparks. Look, we love capitalism as much as anyone, but the purchases of stadium naming rights by large corporations just make us want to vomit in our collective mouths. You know?

So in our Misc. Nonsense section, we have shirts for our beloved customers/baseball fans across the country. Chicago is our kind of town…

We like Toronto as well. It's actually very important to our 2010 Marketing Plan that Whiggy gets into the Canadian market.

As for New York, we reckon a new stadium should keep the old stadium’s name.

We have a series we’ll do for football stadiums, but we’ll start selling those in August.

Baseball season starts Monday. Yes, we aren’t counting the Sunday night game between the Yankees and the Red Sox, just to punish ESPN for shoving that matchup down our throat for the first of 64 times this season.

Start shopping. Play ball.
