HOT OFF THE PRESSES! MMA-themed clothing line (whatever that means) Silver Star has just hooked up with gold glove-winning, UFC fight-attending, All Star team-making centerfielder for the Philadelphia Phillies, Shane Victorino. And they’re designing t-shirts together.
Here’s the press release courtesy of Maury Brown’s The Biz of Baseball:
Fresh off the field from the 2009 World Series, Shane “The Flyin’ Hawaiin” Victorino has signed a clothing deal for a full collection with lifestyle apparel brand Silver Star Casting Company. The switch hitting center fielder has helped the Philadelphia Phillies reach the World Series the past two seasons and was also a member of Team USA in the 2009 World Baseball Classic. Victorino is a two time Rawlings Gold Glove winner (2008, 2009) and in July of 2009, Victorino received a record 15.6 million votes and was named to the National League All-Star Team.
“I have been a fan of the Silver Star brand for a long time and to be fortunate enough to have my own collection is a real honor for me. I look forward to a great relationship with Silver Star,” said Philadelphia Phillies’ Shane Victorino.
“Silver Star is thrilled to welcome our first Major League Baseball player to the fold,” said Silver Star Casting Company president and CEO, Luke Burrett. “We couldn’t have asked for a better combination of professional and personal champion, and we will work with Shane to give fans an awesome selection of apparel.”
As far as I know, the line hasn’t been revealed to the public yet, but rest assured it will be filled with tight fitting t-shirts that have gigantic graphics of snakes and skulls and shit all over it.

BEARD! He actually looks older than 12 in that picture.
January 14th, 2010 at 7:33 pm
Wow, I never knew about Shane’s offseason Heroin habit.
Look at those eyes.
Those dead, dead eyes.
January 14th, 2010 at 7:34 pm
Those are MMA eyes!
January 14th, 2010 at 7:35 pm
I miss the continuation of J-Dub’s beard onto the top of Shane’s head…..shitty looking Mohawk haircut he was sportin’ late last season. Guess the little woman wasn’t diggin it.
January 14th, 2010 at 7:36 pm
You forgot lots of sequins and rhinestones.
Who wants to predict the first shirt? I say a rhinestone studded panther swinging a flaming baseball bat, with the text “NO QUESTIONS ASKED” weaving through the graphic on a scroll-like piece of fabric.
January 14th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
NOT PICTURED: Johan Santana’s bloody corpse
January 14th, 2010 at 8:04 pm
Dear Shane- please don’t. Dear Shane – please shave.
January 14th, 2010 at 8:20 pm
THOSE eyes are for Kuroda…say “what!”…say “what” again, muthafucka!
That’s not the Flywaiian’s typical hitting stance. That’s his “gettin’ medieval on ya” thang.
January 14th, 2010 at 8:44 pm
The only thing that moves faster than The Flyin Hawaiian is his receding hairline. HEYYOOOOOO!!
January 14th, 2010 at 8:57 pm
Wow. I really don’t want Vicky to have a beard, looks so old and shitty and shit.
He and Ruiz are like the team 5 year olds, they can’t grow beards!
Shave!
January 14th, 2010 at 9:30 pm
Seriously, what is with all the new beards on this team? First Roy, now Shane. Who’s next? Old Man Moyer? (Would LOVE to see Moyer’s beard, BTW.) I think we might have to add “Official Beard Blog of the Philadelphia Philies” to our site, as well as “Official Anti-Fan Club of Eric Bruntlett.”
January 14th, 2010 at 9:33 pm
Shane looks badass with the beard, so damn the haters!
Also looking forward to see those shirt designs.
January 14th, 2010 at 9:46 pm
Because of course the world could always use even more douchey, overpriced t-shirts.
January 14th, 2010 at 9:52 pm
So thats where Chan Ho Parks beard went! He gave it to Vic once the Phils said goodbye to him.
January 14th, 2010 at 10:02 pm
I heard that Chan Ho’s beard was signed to a 3 year contract.
January 14th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
The 2010 Guide to Phillies’ Facial Hair will need some changes from 09′.
January 14th, 2010 at 10:43 pm
Now he sorta looks like the guy I buy my weed from.
Oh wait, I do buy my weed from Shane.
Maui Wowee!
January 14th, 2010 at 10:52 pm
holy shit is that Pedro Feliz?!!
January 14th, 2010 at 10:57 pm
But yeah, i’m never going to stop saying that all Phillies players need a beard. They need to be the Anti-Yankees, and that means lots and lots of facial hair, and scruffy looking guys.
January 14th, 2010 at 11:19 pm
I bet Shane has really amazing weed
January 15th, 2010 at 1:15 am
dude, he’s from maui. he doesn’t even know how to pronounce “schwag”.
more beards, phillies. well done, vic. don’t know much about those shirts, but that beard is an A+.
January 15th, 2010 at 1:41 am
i thought that was tyler walker.
January 15th, 2010 at 6:53 am
We lost the Bearded Bastard in the form of Bruntlett and Park, nice to see Vic trying it on for size in their absense.
January 15th, 2010 at 8:23 am
I think seeing Shane with a beard gives me perspective of how I must look now that I have a beard. I gotta say, I think we both look pretty badass.
January 15th, 2010 at 9:01 am
well…ya know…that beard is like…ya know…out of this world…i think…ya know…eddie hardy would like…ya know…totally approve
January 15th, 2010 at 9:13 am
Shane woulld look bad ass with a fu manchu
January 15th, 2010 at 9:44 am
That picture frightens me. Shane just lost his #1 spot on my list of “Phillies I’d most like to be my baby’s daddy.”
So long, Shane. Congratulations, Ryan Madson! You are #1!

Enough! With the beards.
Although, a nice Grizzly Adams-looking Utley would be where it’s at going into ST.
Beards should be seen and not heard.
January 15th, 2010 at 10:08 am
I was surprised John Gosselin wasn’t in this picture with Shane…since they’re officially “hand in back pocket” status
January 15th, 2010 at 10:08 am
Thank you bigmyc. The beard stuff on this blog could be the most tired topic I come across on the internet on a daily basis.
January 15th, 2010 at 10:13 am
im convinced, he’s the guy that stared opposite of Tom Cruise in the Last Samurai
January 15th, 2010 at 11:26 am
Wait, isn’t the bigger news that a player from the PHILLIES has any sort of clothing line? I mean, this is amazing. How many years ago would this company probably hope that no Phillies player even wore their shirts, as to be associated with losers?
For the record, I hate those shirts, and stores that try to sell them. Know what’s worse, though? Going into Kohls and seeing the knock off versions…
January 15th, 2010 at 11:29 am
“Thank you bigmyc. The beard stuff on this blog could be the most tired topic I come across on the internet on a daily basis.”
What? You almost make it sound like that’s all we ever talk about around here. And besides the beard related lunacy is mostly confined to the comments, and you don’t see too many News stories posted that are about beards…directly anyway.
January 15th, 2010 at 12:47 pm
^^^^^ has smoked with shane before
January 15th, 2010 at 1:03 pm
muscles you social bastard. i wanna play
January 15th, 2010 at 5:11 pm
damn, i hope shane keeps that beard
January 15th, 2010 at 5:11 pm
There we go. a new name.
January 15th, 2010 at 5:38 pm
beard talk will never get tired
January 15th, 2010 at 6:33 pm
WFRHBC10′10,
Please take a circumspective look at your username and tell me if the “beard thing” isn’t out of hand.
January 15th, 2010 at 6:35 pm
I like that comment about Vic lookin’ like Pedro Fayyyyleeeez.
Also, beard talk bites nads.
January 15th, 2010 at 7:06 pm
beer?
January 15th, 2010 at 11:14 pm
“WFRHBC10′10,

Oops, I forgot the beard thing was still in there.
My bad!
January 15th, 2010 at 11:15 pm
So now i’m World Fargin Roy Halladay UN-Bearded Champion ‘010
THERE, happy now?
January 16th, 2010 at 11:07 am
That move is indicative of your committment to good taste and relevant sports blog content.
It will be so noted.
January 16th, 2010 at 11:09 am
However, upon second review, the beard is still being referred in some measure…so you uh..may wanna take another look at that.
January 16th, 2010 at 10:40 pm
hate to meet him in a dark philly alleyway…..
demon child eyes….
January 17th, 2010 at 6:10 pm
Ed Hardy = Douchebag
What is Shane doing with this stuff?
January 18th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
I think a couple of you baby-faces have beard-envy. It’s alright, hopefully you will be able to grow one someday and know the joys of the beard.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:48 pm
love the phillies beards look. hope they all keep them. and the ones without grow them. i like the whole anti yankees thing they got going as well.
and yeah i have beard envy. too bad ladies can’t grow ‘em. will buy a fake one to wear in the stands.
