Who gives a shirt?

Smart and tart, tacky and wacky, with a slant toward the crude and lewd, the new T-shirts and tank tops that have just come up at the online store for the Commerce Casino might be worth considering next time you get busted for busting too many hands and come home empty handed.

If you're down there for a World Series of Poker event, or just flipping through the merchandise at the casino's new webstore, you'll likely be amused and slightly confused by the shirt selection that includes:

For the men:
-- "The Commerce Paid My Rent��? ... navy blue with white lettering. At least pretend you're winning. $11.
-- “You, Me and a Friend Make Three of a Kind!��? ... in red, rust, mustard on brown. A corny pickup line, but considering the patrons, it's likely to work. $19.

For the women:
-- “Wanna Hold’ Em?��? ... across the chest, of course. Just ask for permission first. $20.50.
-- “Make My Day. Call Me!��? ... and when you do, prepared to be rejected. $20.50.
-- “Girls Always Hold the Nuts��? ... red lettering on an orange spaghetti-strap t-shirt with a pair of white aces as an exclamation point. So that's a card-playing term? $20.50.
-- “Nice Pair!��? ... black, white and gold poker chip on a pink camisole tank top. It's 95% cotton and 5% spandex, although more of the later would probably be more necessary. $21.50.
-- “These PAir Always Win!��? ... with the A’s are elevated and offset as a pair of aces—diamond and heart. Get it? $20.

“We wanted to give our customers a selection of creative and fun options that they could not find anywhere else,��? said David Mosikian, Player Relations Manager for Commerce Casino, said in a press release unveiling the new stuff.
