I’m a White Sox fan. Not a rabid one — I’ll attend a Cubs game once in awhile, and I’ll even enjoy it if it’s a decent game. But my heart belongs to the South Side Hitmen. I have a brick from old Comiskey, and a 28-inch Louisville Slugger that the Tribune bewilderingly gave out as a premium the last season there. (Can you imagine 10,000 bats being given away to fans? I don’t recall there being any beatings reported back then, but holy insurance liability.) My favorite player is Carlton Fisk, and I was elated when the Sox went all the way in 2005.
So when I saw the Cubs’ new slogan, “It’s a way of life,” with Wrigley’s iconic Win flag in place of the W, I knew immediately what I had to do.
You may be interested in this as a t-shirt, or perhaps as a stylish bumper sticker. Go Sox.
I was less elated at that time.

It may be just be that I didn’t grow up in Chicago, but I never felt like being a Cubs fan meant having to hate the Sox, or the reverse. Just from t-shirts at both parks I know a lot of people disagree with me on this.
Still, they really left themselves open with that new slogan design.
