About the Design of the “It Wasn’t A Fair Catch” T-shirt
An enthusiastic supporter of the Iowa Hawkeyes Football team brought the slogan “It Wasn’t A Fair Catch” to the 2023 World Series. It went to great lengths to display it on a sign. The banner was about a controversial referee decision during a football game on October 21, 2023, between the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Minnesota Golden Gophers.
When a receiving player wants to avoid being tackled, they use a fair catch signal. Once the signal is given, the player cannot run with the ball. However, in a specific case involving Dejean, the referees deemed his fair catch signal invalid because he used his left hand to wave after pointing at the ball with his right. Despite Iowa fans claiming that Dejean was warning his teammates not to touch the ball by pointing at it on the field, the decision to invalidate the signal not only left Iowa fans upset but also caused NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers to express his discontent.
After Reggie Smith overruled a ruling that had called back an Iowa punt return touchdown, an “It Wasn’t A Fair Catch” T-shirt was inspired to show the fan’s point of view. The shirt is yellow with bold lettering and an uppercase ‘R’ next to the word “Catch” to represent Reggie Smith. The T-shirt’s design conveys the sense of injustice felt by Iowa fans who had to endure the referee’s decision. It also serves as a way to inspire Iowa fans to continue protesting against the ruling.
This T-shirt shows how dedicated Iowa fans are. Also, it makes a statement about supporting their players when they face unfair decisions. It’s perfect for going to games or when you want to speak up against decisions you disagree with.
