There were lots of plays on words with Sport - beginning with Spork Death, the official t-shirt of the Holman 4th cooking group I was part of in the 90s, moving on to Spore Death, etc. Sport Cthulu, Japanese Sport Death, and Sport Robot had all been done by then too, I think.
Our family's contribution: Sport Deathstar. Only Luke Skywalker in an X-wing can kill you.
We found that a local t-shirt printer had an on-demand silkscreen ink printer, so we could print all those letters in silkscreen ink on a black t-shirt without cutting out the iron on transfers. (I've since learned that it might also be worth trying a transfer where I print the black background around the letters and just iron on a rectangle including the background..but for this shirt I've also often considered doing a real print run at a t-shirt printer.
K went with the star theme, and we painted a star-within-a-star shirt with a visual Sport Death look but no words, since we'd already done hearts the year before.
L, being a second child, didn't even get photographed in the classic Sport Death onesie. (I do think I had to get as second one because we'd passed on the original by then, though.) He did follow in his sister's footsteps by eating a bit of the steer as his first ever taste of meat.
