Roll up, roll up.
We’ve decided to boldly go where we’ve never gone before on two Bill Coleman fronts.
Den, Den, DEEEEEEEENNNNNNN !
- We’re going to have a poll !
- We’re going to be making some t-shirts !
Relax yourselves down the back there ! No need to be getting so rowdy ! Due to the marvellous nature of the interweb, everyone will get their chance to vote, so no need to shove.
Yes sirs and madams, I have three t-shirt designs, and you guys get to pick which one gets made. Mosey on down the page there and pick your favourite design. If you’d like to be in with a chance of winning the first shirt, leave a comment at the bottom of the page. Which design you picked and why, the best one wins the shirt !
It’ll be like one of them end of term competitions in school, only you’re not going to win a box of mouldy old USA assorted biscuits. You’re going to win a super cool piece of clobber !
Design 1:- BC (if you can’t quite make it out, the text below the logo says “bcoleman.com”).
Design 2:- Pencils (again, the text says “bcoleman.com”).
Design 3:- Letters (if you think the shirt should be another colour pipe up and let me know, I’m open to suggestions).
Umm, I should probably point out that these need to be cleaned up a small bit. But you guys probably guessed that…
Anyhoos, get voting and commenting !!!

not that I don’t want to play the game but why can’t you have three t-shirts? they would all sell. they are all cute and if you want everyone at your gig your tees then they wont want to all be in the same one, although that would be kinda cool!!….. no I think you should have all three…I’d like to see the pencil tee in yellow or baby pink, men always look good in those colours and I would think about trying the print of one of the others on the back.
Cash, Nadine. I’m poor me…
like number 3 , at least your web address will stay in peoples minds! and i love red, not because im a munster supporter (im not) but because I love red. did i mention that. BC might confuse the punters what with Bristish Columbia and all that (and Before Christ). so pencils or 3.
go for pencil head bill,pencil heads are super SUPER cool,plus if i won one of ur tshirts it could go with the lovely badges that u gave me personally a cuple years back????!!!!! go 4 pencil head peops!
Mad. You’re all mad, you pencil head mad people…
Ahhhhhhh nuts!! I wrote my comment where you vote and now I have to try and come up with some more of my witty Coonoodian humor and re-write it here so I can WIN that very First Official Bill Coleman Tee!!!
Ok, I have two votes…
TeeShirt Design #1 because BC is the initials of my cat (Bucky Charles) and hey, who doesn’t want to sport their cats initials on their clothing!!??
Noooooo I’m just kidding, that’s not my cats name (it’s Lucky for all of you wondering) but BC is the missing combination code of something that is very top secret, so if I told you then I would have to…well let’s just leave it at that shall we….
TeeShirt Design #2 because I la la la la looooooooooove Pencils!! That’s right kiddies, I’m alllll about those fine #2 leaded pencils!! Bring your rubbers and lets make some mistakes!!
(ahhhh, I meant the rubbers on the end of a # 2 leaded pencil….get your minds out of the gutter!)
And finally my expert opinion on teeshirt design #3….Meh, it’s OK. I like the red because it matches your shoes and sexy red stripe on your awesome pants that you sport so well, but….I much prefer #1 and #2…either way if all 3 were for sale I’d be buying them up!!
Hooooray!!! Finally an awesome Bill Coleman tee to add to my awesome collection of awesome tee’s!!
Whoooo hoooooo!! Bill Coleman!!!!
i like 2, cause it looks like me!
i picked number one, but i would pick the all if i could…
Sort it out Bill, giz a bleedin t-shirt..can’t afford clothes with the recession.
Hi Bill, we’ve got a packed show coming up for you this evening, but more about that later…
T-shirt #3 gets my vote as it affords you the greatest ability to harness the general public’s penchant for acting as walking billboards. When the first Pat Kenny t-shirts were issued in 1980, the graphic was composed solely of my Montrose telex details. By boldly plastering your internet number right on the front of the t-shirt it is clear you are paying homage to my then revolutionary design. Historians claim that it was this t-shirt campaign that secured me the 1981 Jacob’s Award for my, quote, “unusual versatility” (at the time I was presenting Saturday View on RTÉ Radio 1, and, on RTÉ 2fm, The Kenny Report and The Outside Track). My original t-shirt design has since been copied by a host of other stars including Daniel from The Thrills, Derek Davis, that lad who plays the acoustic guitar with the buttons on Grafton Street, Bill Cosby, Donald Trump and one of Twink’s daughters (not sure if it’s Chloe or Naomi).
In closing, please send my t-shirt (size M*) to:
Pat Kenny
The Late Late Show
RTÉ One
Donnybrook
Dublin 4
Best,
Pat
* M is for Medium
What a glorious comment
Yeah. You have a way with words Patrick. Thanks
Well I was gonna go with number 1 and support the Dutch groupies…but now I see that most people are voting for the other two I’m not sure I have the moral courage to stick to my guns.
No.
I’ve made a decision. I’m going for number 2. Or number 3. Either of those. Or number 1.
I think the grey one would be better if it wasnt grey
(How did they teach you to spell ‘grey’ in Cork incidentally
And I’ll add my voice to the crescendo of calls for a red shirt. Bill Coleman should have a red t-shirt.
That goes without saying.
Although I’ve said it anyway.
In summation and in case I haven’t been clear enough (which I clearly have been) – number 2 in red!
The ‘gray’ shirt must be a subconcious ‘David Gray’ thing. Maybe… anyway ! Fixed that ! Made the shirt red ! You happy now ?
Happier certainly. ‘Happy’? – never.
Number 3, I think it’s the best as I remember that night in Galway 5 or 6 years ago…

You said it a few times during the gig, and I remembered it!!
I believe it was the first thing I said into the mic when we got up on stage too…
Number 2 is also good, but I’d say a definite no to number 1.
A red t-shirt could be cool too
See you in the stables hopefully!
Ahhh, brings me back Beansie
How’s the double album coming along ?
Ah it’ll get there. Goin’ in around the end of the month to start recording it. Then will finish it after the tour.
How’s yours goin’?
We’re getting there, I think ! All good buh. Have stuck your Rubys date in me diary – see you then
Oh – there might be a problem with this poll – you can vote several times!
Does that mean that you’ve voted more than once Cille ?
Bill, must confess: yes, voted twice; I just have to test things like that. Am I going to hell now? :-S
Ahh I’d say you’d have to do something a little more serious to be hit with the aul eternal damnation. Twould be a bit harsh like
I like the pencils. And I also like the last one with the letters. I think that the last one would work well if it were on a black background (black is a slimming colour don’tcha know!)
Go with the pencils.
If I win, I will wear the t-shirt until it falls off me….
The letter and the BC ones look kind of clunky, and the BC one looks like you’re a huge fan of ancient times
Pencils all the way
Defo nr. 1, I think that one’ll do good with the Dutch groupies…;)
