The Detroit Lions are officially terrible.
A winless season didn’t make it official. #1 draft picks flaming out didn’t make it official. Hiring Matt Millen didn’t make it official.
But fans selling a towel proclaiming “We Are Terrible” as a play on words from the Pittsburgh Steelers Terrible Towel makes it very official. And at $10 you’ll get years of good out of your towel cleaning up the vomit when Matthew Stafford throws another pick. Or the defense giving up another 200-yard rushing effort.
Of course the local Detroit media jumped all over this story.
Birmingham residents Gordon Miller and John Crick are selling white towels (naturally), with “The Official We ARE Terrible Towel: A Detroit Original Since 1957″ emblazoned in Honolulu blue. They’re $10 each — or less for bigger orders — and can be purchased online at weareterribletowel.com or by calling 877-442-7935.
“It’s hard to eat a hot dog or drink a soda with a bag over your head,” Miller said in a news release. “With the official We ARE Terrible Towel, you can eat, drink, boo and still wave your towel.”
And in a nice touch from the entreprenuers, they are offering a Cleveland Browns version too. No, Brady Quinn’s head isn’t emblazoned on it.
