Exactly. Someone would have to be really trying hard to find something to be offended by to take offense to this after a moment to think about it.
Sharethedamnroad.com has several interesting jerseys. Maybe this one is more appealing to the easily offended.

Thanks. Works now. I think I'd feel like someone painted a target on my back wearing one of those jerseys.
