People wearing this crap are either totally ignorant of history or truely hate each other.
I'd buy a T-Shirt that depicted the 'burning' of UAT during the Civil War.

Unlicensed T-shirts bring the MU-KU rivalry up a notch

LAWRENCE, Kan. — The Civil War ended more than a century ago, but it is being fought again this week on a new battleground — the fronts and backs of T-shirts.

Ugly slogans are defining the interstate hostility between MU and KU in advance of Saturday’s game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.

For Missouri fans, a shirt recalling the razing of Lawrence in 1863 has become a popular item on blogs and message boards. It shows William Quantrill and his Bushwhackers paired with the word “Scoreboard.”

In response, ginned up KU supporters fashioned a shirt showing abolitionist John Brown, who got his start in “Bleeding Kansas,” with the words, “Kansas: Protecting America from Missouri since 1854.”

With both teams having their best seasons in decades and a crucial game on the line, outsiders are getting a quick lesson in the bitter history of the rivalry.

The shirts are tied to a period of fury and hatred from before the Civil War.

In Kansas, Quantrill’s raiders from Missouri raped and murdered hundreds in Lawrence, the abolitionist capital.

At about the same time, Brown was plundering farms and families in pro-slavery Missouri.

Now, nearly 150 years later, the conflict is spilling into fan’s wardrobes.

To those uninitiated in the rivalry, such items might appear as a sick joke for commerical profit. But fans and merchants on both sides of the Border Showdown are lining up to trade in the shirts.

Keep practicing son.  One day you'll get there.  There's only one way to deal with Bammer trash - poke 'em in the ear with a dull #2 pencil (it MUST be a #2 pencil) (and leave the other one alone so they can hear themselves scream), stuff 'em in a barrell with sleeping porcupines, then roll 'em down a hill.

but wait

enoy their screams as you skip to the bottom of the hill - extract their quill infested body from the barrell, then hit them in the face with a ferrett (this step is optional, but it's loads of fun!), next shove an umbrella up their ass - then open.  If they are still with you at this point, finish them off by telling them that the Bear is dead.

now THAT is hate.
