But the biggest problem might just be the spider zombies.

If there’s one thing I love almost as much as zombies, it is the Denver Broncos. And this excellent shirt brings those two great loves of my life together with a dash of excellent, old-school Bronco flair. I believe it’s actually called “Bring the D Back!” but I can’t help but call it the ZomBroncos shirt (it also reminds me of the awesome zombie demon horse at DIA, Denver’s coolest piece of public art). I can’t wait to wear it to a home game next season. You can buy one for yourself at Filthe.net for $20. They also have a couple of other excellent zombie-themed designs.
