Ship of Pain | Men's/Unisex Performance Short Sleeve Jersey

"SOP": Standard Operating Procedure? Close. "Ship-of-Pain." Setting the standard for camaraderie and having other teams recognise them from the back of the jerseys. While Ship-of-Pain and Ottawa Dragon Masters Senior C Mixed Small Boat will go back and forth over claiming gold medals at whatever distance at Nationals or whatever Championships, their good humour and grit are ever present. Even in the fog of Mooney's Bay, the Jolly Roger proudly flapping on the back of an OC-6 indicates from as far as the eye can see that there be Pirates present... and that the pain is not from a lack of Kindness, but from decades of accumulated joint pain, arthritis, senior citizen treachery LOL. This jersey was created to celebrate enduring friendships (the waves), their iconic rebellious pirate symbol with cross paddles instead of crossbones, the colours of their umbrella organisation, and the flag flying in a position to symbolize spearheading/staying ahead. The Pirates exemplify the type of attitude we need more of in this world.
