Misleading t-shirts

I love the Delgados (and read Stewart's entry about John Peel), but their shirts are slightly tough to wear. Why? Well, the first shirt I got has a cross on it and the words "Hate the Delgados", which I know refers to a band and an album but has gotten me some strange looks. The second (which is apparently no longer available) just says "pro delgado" across the front. Which, again, I know means a band, but apparantly delgado means "skinny" in Spanish.

So I've got two shirts that might seem to others like an advertisement for religious fanaticism and a more international version of "no fat chicks", worse luck.
