DoggyStyle: Custom Chicago Cubs Hoodie and a Baseball-Tee

When you have a big dog, it's so disappointing to find that a lot of the dog gear is only made for smaller dogs.
So we learned how to make our own.
We made the wonderful discovery of iron-on decal paper back when we were making this couples costume, and now we can't find enough things to iron onto.
Mr. B is wearing a Zack and Zoey hoodie in size x-large (Thanks again Lindsay G!). Mr B. has a large logo on his back, and we put smaller logos on both sleeves so you can still see his team-spirit from the front. We detailed more of the decal process in this post. 
Miss M is trying a new-to-us "3/4 sleeve dog raglan" from American Apparel.  It's funny that the site shows them on all tiny dogs, and Miss M wears a size 2XL (but don't tell her). It was fairly inexpensive at about $13.
Not all of the American Apparel stores carry the dog gear. We found ours at the Wicker Park location, and the seem to have more of the larger sizes. They even let the pups in the store to try them on.
We aren't sure about the fit as it seems a bit Travolta-ish with the really wide neck. Though Miss M is trying to tell us it's more like Flashdance:
We haven't washed it yet, so we will update on whether it shrinks a bit or what accommodations we make to make the neck smaller so it doesn't fall down.
Any other pups out there showing their team spirit?

Miss M and Mr. B are just adorable as they root for the Cubs! :) Henry and Sadie had Astros collars and that was fun for baseball season. The Texans jersey at PetSmart we got for Henry was way too snug, and this is a great idea about customizing with your team decals!
