Brian Wilson wearing a spandex tuxedo to the ESPYs was just the first wave. Tim Lincecum will be the second. The San Francisco Giants obviously are taking over the fashion world.
Don't let the free-flowing hair with split ends, Generation "Why?" stocking caps and lazy looking hoodies fool you; Lincecum is a fashionable young man. Anybody who might rather don a fedora and dress like a late-'40s crooner, or come to a big game decked out in a suit and bow tie, has an idea about couture.
And now you can get him ... over your skin.
Coupling his own personal style and the demands of a loving public, Timmy has teamed up with an apparel company to create his own line of clothing. Introducing ... "The Freak" Apparel Collection, brought to you by Lincecum and The Original Retro Brand.
And all of the clothes are made from hemp. I'm kidding! Apologies.
The line of T-shirts include a faded rendering of Timmy's head and neck wearing his infamous bow tie from the 2010 playoffs (pictured above), a white silhouette of Timmy's iconic delivery and a cartoony Timmy pitching the ball with "THE FREAK" written next to it in big letters. All come in men's ($38) and women's ($36) sizes. There's also an Ashton Kutcher trucker cap ($29).
Say, when did nice T-shirts start costing almost $40? Some of these tees look swell, but the prices aren't retro, that's for sure.
Plus, with the regular season winding down and the Giants struggling to stay relevant in the pennant race, it might not be the best time for such a venture to be unveiled. Everyone involved probably thought the Giants would be on the verge of closing out a playoff spot instead of hanging on for dear life. Josh Collmenter T-shirts ? that's what I'm saying here.
But the fashion world waits for no one. It's time to get your Freak on:
Nice-lookin' stuff. Original Retro Brand describes itself as "a premium, fashion-forward, apparel company that combines iconic graphics with the comfort of the softest, sexiest, best fitting t-shirt in the world."
Mmm, softest. Lincecum, in a press release surely written by someone else but no doubt approved by his people, says this:
"I am very excited to be working with Original Retro Brand to launch my own line of clothing. I feel like they have captured exactly what I envisioned for my fans in terms of style and quality."
Our Timmy; turning into a fashion mogul!
