The St. Louis Cardinals intend to re-evaluate their "long-standing policy" of disallowing shirts with the word "suck" on them after a controversy this week at Busch Stadium, according to the club's head of security.
"It's not targeted at any one shirt," Cardinals spokesman Ron Watermon told ESPN.com. "We should have a new policy in place by next homestand."
A number of Chicago Cubs fans reported running into trouble at Busch Stadium when wearing manager Joe Maddon's "Try Not To Suck" T-shirts during the three-game series between the clubs this week.
The genesis of the shirt came last year when Maddon jokingly told call-up Javier Baez "try not to suck" when advising him on his role with the big league club.
The phrase caught on, the shirt was mass produced, and sales benefit Maddon's foundation, Respect 90, which supports athletics for kids in inner-city Chicago. The Cubs have adopted the simple mantra "Try Not To Suck" for the season.
