One Time Baby! T-Shirt

Today we have another awesome tee from Showdown Poker Gear (SPG), the One Time Baby! T-Shirt. If you’re not familiar with the phrase, it’s actually pretty common in poker. Essentially when a player needs one last card on the river to help his hand. Often in this situation, the player is all-in, and his tournament life is on the line. So by saying ‘One Time Baby!’ the player is willing the poker gods to give him the card he needs just one time! (and he’ll never ask again… until the next time he needs help to stay alive…)

I’m sure most of us have been in a similar situation, and most likely more than once! You know, the old, I swear, just answer my prayers this one time, and I’ll never ask for anything again! Or perhaps, please God get me out of this situation and I’ll convert and be the best Christian/Jew/Catholic/Hindu/Insert-Religion-here Ever! Lol, we’ve all thought it!

The graphic design is pretty slick, traditional style praying hands in front of a big bold cross on a poker chip, with the slogan scrolled across the front. It feels a bit like tattoo art.

Dead Man’s Hand T-Shirt

Recently I received an email from a poker t-shirt company, I began to imagine dime a dozen, run of the mill, cheesy “Read em and Weep” type designs. You know the ones. Formulating a polite no-thanks reply in my head, I clicked on their link out of curiosity, and am I glad I did…

You see Showdown Poker Gear (SPG) aren’t your typical poker t-shirt company. Their designs, 2 years in the making, are striking, intricate and exceptionally well illustrated. Although inspired by poker, these tees cross the line from being simply poker t-shirts. They are modern, fashionable and can be worn anywhere.

The particular design I’m reviewing in this post is their Dead Man’s Hand t-shirt.
Inspired by poker folk law, the Dead Man’s Hand is a two-pair poker hand, namely 2 black Aces and 2 black eights. The hand gets its name from the legend of Wild Bill Hickok, who was supposedly holding the five-card-draw hand when he was shot and killed on August 2, 1876. This event ocurred in Deadwood, in the Black Hills of the Dakotas during the Gold Rush era, and this t-shirt really pulls off an Old West feel.
