Mike Adams shows off Bullpen's "Pen-itentiary" T-Shirts

Tom Krasovic over at FanHouse wrote on Friday that Mike Adams and Heath Bell came up with a nickname for the Padres Bullpen, "The Pen-itentiary".
Bell proudly displayed a shirt. "It's awesome,"
Jed Hoyer thought so too.
"Things like those shirts are great," he said. "I feel great bullpens are a unit, and I think things like that are part of the camaraderie."
John Weisbarth of Channel 4, pictured above, interviewed Mike Adams before Saturday's game talking about the bullpen being the team within the team.
Adams explained how the shirt shows the National League logo behind bars because the Padres bullpen locks down the rest of the leagues hitters. At the bottom of the shirt is their motto, "Got 'em in lock down!" Now I'm not one with a dirty mind but the "L" in "lock" sure looks a lot like a "C", but either way I think it's a great shirt and great motto.
Only the bullpen is allowed to have the shirts but Weisbarth begged for the display shirt and Adams allowed him to have it as an honorary member of the bullpen.
The Padres Store need to start selling these pronto, I'll bet you they could sell half a dozen of them in the first week alone.
Jenny Cavnar says that Mike Adams and his tattoo artist designed the "BELIEVE" shirt and the "Pen-tentiary" shirt. She doubts it will be their last.

Mike said "his tattoo guy" designed the logo
I imagine that was in Corpus as well.
"Savvy Chicks Dig the Bullpen"
Seriously
He deserves to be an honorary bullpen member and get a t-shirt,
because he begged? Meh.

I'm sure there are a few things you could do...

I heart
Mike Adams & Heath Bell even more for coming up with those shirts.
Where can we find shirts like that?

According to Mike, they are exclusively for bullpen members
Mike’s hometown tattoo guy in Corpus created the logo.
Although…hmmm…maybe…

They need to start making duplicates
of that shirt for the fans. Next home game weekend, they hand that design out to the first 12,000 people who come early.

As much as I would love to get my hands on one of those shirts,
I love the fact that they’re exclusive to that group of guys. Like Jed said, it’s part of their camaraderie.
I need new pants.
It's like a dikfore.

Light gray with
“BELIEVE” in block letters across the chest.
Simply stated.
"Savvy Chicks Dig the Bullpen"
Wow! And some things do beat trying to get the mighty dollar.
Cool to see that they are exclusive to the bullpen, but if they were available I’m sure lots of people would buy one. Pretty damn cool.
