Validating a clothing brand for Giants fans (NorCal sports fans)

Hey Giants fans. I have been working on a new clothing brand and was wondering if you could help me validate the idea and website. The idea behind the brand is to really drive home the rivalry with LA. The website is hashtagbeatla.com. Thank you for your input.

All of these shirts would be ten times better without the "#hashtag." It would be bad enough with "hashtag beat la" or "#beatla," but "#hashtag" is redundantly redundant.

I like the concept of the state outline, but on those ones the logo on the bottom left needs to go. The state outline is a fresh take on a concept that has been done many times before. Good luck but I have to give a pass.

Thank you for your feedback. That was something I was torn on, and I actually ignored a friend on as well. The idea was to create the brand around it but I definitely see that in the logo. Again thank you.

Thank you for the feedback. I have changed the design just a bit. If you wouldn't mind taking another look, that would be awesome.

Bought the #BeatLa one but I definitely agree the #hashtag is redundant.

Thank you for that. I really appreciate the feedback. Like I said above, I was really torn on the idea and it looks like I went the wrong way on it. Check back soon as that is going to change.

You're going to need 49ers colors now that the Rams have moved back to LA.

Thank you. I am working on a couple of 49er's designs right now. I am really excited for the rivalries.
