The Man Puts An End To Labatt Blue & Newport Lights. RIP.

Reason number 12 for starting ML was so a guy could buy a blue shirt from a catalog that wasn’t called something outrageous like “Timothy’s Eyes.”  Who is Timothy? And who did he sleep with at Crayola to get his own color?   And for the 99.9% of us who have NOT gazed lovingly into said eyes, how does this help determine color?

Enter our first royal blue shirt, formerly and affectionately known as Labatt Blue.  Anyone who went to college should have this color permanently burned into their subconscious.  Even Timothy probably passed by cases of this stuff every week on his way to the Zima aisle.

Alas, as we’ve continued to grow I’ve received more and more friendly emails from various lawyers explaining how much trouble we could get into for using names like this.  And that is why our current blue t-shirt is now known as Canadian Beer Blue and our Newport Lights T-shirt Polo is Fenway Green.  But the Shamrock Shake Green is staying put.   Until the McD’s puts this delicious beverage back on the regular menu Marine Layer is standing pat.  Well, until that happens or we get served by one of their 250 copyright lawyers.
