According to one e-commerce report, internet fashion (apparel) selling is on an upswing. The value is at far in terms of catalog volume with the long time net dominant category COMPUTER HARDWARE and SOFTWARE. Only, the actual pull of sales isn’t quite high. Some buyers still prefer to actually fit, see, try the apparel. But the fact that more stores, individuals are opening shop and business catering to fashion and apparel, made us even more sure that fashion would sell. In our case, original concept tees.
As of this time,I believe many of the basketball fanatics especially Jordan followers knew already that the latter has just bought majority shares in Charlotte Bobcats which gives him total control of the franchise. There has been a lot of write ups about the issue but we’re just going to add some inputs. And since the Bobcats’ name came from it’s former owner Robert “Bob” Johnson, it is but proper for them to think for a new name that would fit to it’s new identity. Let’s have some suggestions:
1. Charlotte Royal Airness? Circa ‘97, that’s what the NBA calls him.
2. Charlotte Assassins? Jordan was the original owner of that nickname, not Dondon Hontiveros!
3. Charlotte Jordans? Why not, Jordan name is already proven when it comes to marketing.
4. Charlotte Like Mikes? There was a time everybody wanted to be like Mike!
5 Charlotte Tongue Wags? Hehe, but there will be a requirement for each player to wag his tongue every time he dunks.
6. Charlotte Free throw Dunkers? Eww, this will be the toughest to comply.
7. Charlotte Fade away? This is bad omen.
8. Charlotte 23ers? This will add to LeBron’s desire to change his jersey number!
Any idea?=)
10. Manny Pacquiao is truly FEARLESS and FEARSOME.
9. The Pacman is the biggest draw in boxing, hands down. 51, 000 souls in attendance?
8. Manny and Roach’s tandem is unbeatable.
7. Josh “The Grandmaster” Clottey should shift to the sport of Chess.
6. Never, ever add unnecessary “arte” to the national anthem…to avoid unexpected mistake.
5. FPJ is truly a legend, with his “pompyang clap/punch that even the great Manny used in disgust with Clottey.
4. Manny’s work ethic is inspiring.
3. With Manny’s latest win, he must be really on PED, “Prayers Every Day”.
2. Manny is hundreds of million richer again.
1. FLOYD JR. IS IN PRESSURE COOKER TO WIN AGAINST SUGAR SHANE, TOUGH ACT TO DO REALLY.
