WIIZ

A t-shirt from Alternative Rock outlet "98.7 The Wizard" WIIZ.  They went on the air in the early 1990s in Lafayette, Indiana and were often described as a musical clone to Chicago's WXRT.  The short-lived station probably wasn't helped any by this silly doodle of a logo.  98.7 FM is now Classic Hits WASK.

Super Bowl 50

Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California is the site for tonight's Super Bowl which pits the Carolina Panthers againts the Denver Broncos. I'll be rooting for the Panthers because free safety Kurt Coleman is a local kid and because they are one of the 13 franchises that has never won the Lombardi Trophy.

News/Talk 1110 AM WBT is the flagship station of the Carolina Panthers radio network.  This temporary tattoo features the team logo that was used from their inception in 1995 until 2011.
