Since those early days a lot has changed, but a lot has also remained the same. We still produce awesome t-shirts--just now they're refined and legal. We still sell t-shirts--just now we sell to retail locations with business licenses and permits. We still run from the cops--just now its cause these guns are illegal in 48 states.

So yesterday we joined the Dingman Center for Entrepreneurship at their annual marketplace. We even made the front page of the Diamondback, the University of Maryland school newspaper.

Our University of Maryland t-shirts have been blowing out at the Maryland Book Exchange in College Park. In one week, they already doubled their first order of Crooked Monkey licensed college t-shirts. This is very very exciting news for Crooked Monkey Funny T-shirts!

When we started to get licenses for Universities, we knew our product was unique. The licensing world is actually quite difficult to get into--especially in the t-shirt area. Universities are retracting licenses left and right, because over time they've given out too many licenses. So it was a huge deal when Crooked Monkey got the University of Maryland license, and it was due to the unique design and concept that we came up with. It was a long process--we came up with the mascot idea over 2 years ago and we finally applied for the license about 5 months ago.

All other licensees who produce university t-shirts do the same old boring stuff, with a few vintage concepts here and there. We decided the only way we would get into this crowded market was to have a brand new, never-been-done-before concept. And when you see our t-shirts, you'll know what we're talking about.

We're already looking to expand beyond the University of Maryland--we hope to bring it to your University next!

Great news here at Crooked Monkey Funny t-shirts. We recently received the license to produce University of Maryland T-shirts. Because of our unique approach to the college licensing world, we'll be garnering a whole bunch of excitement for these exclusive products--currently only sold at the University of Maryland.

Our t-shirts will breathe life into the mascot and yield original, tradition-inspired t-shirts. Instead of simply printing the text and logo of the college or University, we will be using school traditions to produce a totally unique product.

Obviously we chose the University of Maryland to be the first license we design for--we always try and give back to the University of Maryland whenever we can. The licensing director over there has been extremely helpful and has given us a lot of room to work with.

The irony of the whole scenario is that we got our start selling contraband Fuck Duke t-shirts. We earned a cease and desist letter from the University of Maryland in March of 2006 for those shirts. But we have now "gone legit" and will be producing school sanctioned UMD Terp Pride Wear. Even more interesting is that the same guy who busted us for the original t-shirts is the guy who is now working closely with us in producing the new UMD line. We really appreciate his vision--forgiving our original missteps and allowing Crooked Monkey funny t-shirts to turn over a new leaf.

I've attached some of the new designs for you to check out. We'll have them available for sale pretty soon and we'll update you on that. In the meantime we're looking for some wholesale outlets for our Funny Collegiate shirts. If you want your school to be a part of Crooked Monkey's funny licensed college t-shirt expansion plans, please email us or leave us a comment, telling us why you think your university should be next.
