I saw this on a T-shirt once and would love to get it. Has anyone else seen this and/or know where to get it?

I think Misty Mountain produced those. No sign of them on their site, but you could inquire via email.

If this catch-phrase takes off, you know that means everyone has to step it up.

(Suppress the production of this opposite tee shirt (maybe even on underpants):

I emailed Misty Mountain. I'll let you all (or is it y'all) know what they say.

You could always make your own:

You just couldn't sell them if it was copyrighted, but I would be surprised.

Bill, according to the US Copyright Office, copyright law does not protect short phrases (such as "less rack, more sack"), and therefore it would appear that anyone could have the shirt made without fear of infringing copyrights.

I have one of these shirts (in safety orange). Misty was giving them out at the OR circa 2004, I think.

They have some really good t-shirts, my favorite:

I checked the shirt, and it's worth noting that Misty used "Less Rack, More Sac"

Sac is so much funnier than sack.
