Matt Burke began his email to me by simply saying: ”I’m sorry.”
As he should be. This abomination really should never have been seen by another living soul. But since I had to see it, so do you.
Matt set out to do the following:
- Make something so bad I get banned from the Jersey Nerds and Icethetics.
- Make a jersey that will cause all viewers to question whether or not they really want to be a graphic designer.
- Make a jersey that will singlehandedly prevent me from getting hired for any graphic design job.
- Make the worst hockey jersey of all time.
Success on all counts.
On an unrelated note, this is the final time Matt Burke will appear on Icethetics.
(Kidding!)
Happy Halloween, everyone. Hope you don’t come across anything scarier than this tonight.
