Capitalizing on Crisis: Just Do It
The latest from the Your-Misfortune-Is-My-Fortune files comes from a Southern California clothing shop that sells stylish graphic tees and hip, retro sneakers.
Capitalizing on crisis is a common publicity ploy with limited sales opportunity so it pays to be swift. With that in mind, Tradition is now offering a limited edition Tiger Woods parody T-shirt for $28.
In an email to customers, the company wrote: “As you know Tiger Woods has been in the news as of late with a cheating scandal. It was only fitting for us to provide this Limited Edition Tiger Woods tee for all you Tiger fans out there. Don’t miss your chance to get your hands on one of these because quantities are limited. Phone orders are available. Don’t hate the player, hate the game!”
Earlier this week, NiceBallz told you about a car repair shop’s attempt to gain attention from the sad sex scandal surrounding the world’s No. 1 golfer. This is only the beginning. The toys, T-shirts, novelty golf products and other assorted tacky gifts and gags will only continue for the foreseeable future.
While NiceBallz isn’t in the business of selling stuff or perpetuating poor taste (though that’s debatable), we’re always interested in funny. Send us your favorite opportunistic Tiger Woods products at staff@niceballz.com and we may publish the best of the bunch.

Bob-now that is funny!
Not a bad one Bob
Counting the minutes before Nike and/or Tiger Inc. comes down like a hammer on the t-shirt guy…
