The 1,120 words you can't say on the back of your custom NFL jersey NSFW sort of

I'm trying to figure out why someone would a buy a (usually) rather expensive NFL jersey, only to customize it by putting "UPTHEBUTT" on the back. Whatever.

Wow, you just can't get a Carruth jersey anymore. Sheesh! (and yes, I know...)

That's stale - their list of banned phrases is growing - it's up to 1156 entries now.
(non-geeks should note that 0-1155 is 1156 unique entries)

One string they do allow is "sweatshop", unlike Nike.

I'm impressed that they spelled "balllicker" with three "l"s.

'HE HATE ME' classic. I wonder why the need for 50 variations on 'FUCK', why not just a blanket ban on the one word.

Regular expressions and the NFL don't mix.

I'm surprised that the people calling FARKfilter knew it was a FARK post in the first place. Is it like a "know your enemy by reading every one of their posts" kind of thing?

oh, and

Four banned words in a row that very neatly and succinctly sum up my life. Neat!

I find it outrageously unfair that Alan Cumming cannot order a jersey with his own name on it.

Not to mention the lesser known but highly talented Bob Hussy.

For those of you who ever watched the XFL -- though admittedly I'm not even sure why I did -- "He Hate Me" is particularly funny.

What is "He Hate Me" from?

shmegegge: Google. (GoogleFilter!)
posted by sninky-chan at 3:00 AM on March 3, 2005

Man, the instant I started looking at this list, I knew HeHateMe was gonna be banned. Damn you, NFL! If I was gonna get an expensive personalized jersey, a HHM one would be close to the first thing I'd think about.

Odd that "tampon" and "Kotex" are on the list - has it really been such a problem with people ordering jerseys?!
posted by different at 3:19 AM on March 3, 2005

we still can order one with 4nk8or ...

Poop! There goes my plan to get a football jersey with the phrase "Crackpipe Bulldyke" on it.

I am dissappointed my last name, Smagma, isn't allowed.

Oh well...he'll just have to console himself with his own personal fragrance. (Apparently for $69, natch.)

It's just that Fark is the place I go for boobie-poop jokes, and Slash-dot is where I go for web-techie crap, and LGF is where I go for political abuse-hate, and when I come here, I expect more (except for the political abuse part) , and am usually disapointed.

There's been a lot of poop threads lately.. OOhh, Bad Words and Football = Teh Funny!!

Thank god "ASSHAT" isn't banned.

Oh yeah, and squirrel? You made me laugh aloud.

can someone explain what's 420 and why it's banned? Is it me or are there a lot of words that seem fine but are banned? Like G-Unit. It's just a popular rap group.
posted by pez_LPhiE at 12:39 PM on March 3, 2005

also, if they unbanned 'Gay' then shouldn't they unban 'lesbian'?

420 at urban dictionary. Basically, it's a pot reference.

also, G-unit is most likely a matter of ip infringment.

"GAY" Now Allowed on NFL Jerseys...(but) "you can't buy a Jets jersey with "TONGUE" on it, even though there is a Jets player named Reggie Tongue. This shows how dumb their filter is."
