When the rock star becomes an NFL star, companies and Web sites will be free to seek out Tim Tebow to endorse their product.
He could even help sell, say, women's panties if he chose to (even though that seems highly unlikely).
But since he's still a college football player, he's off limits to companies trying to profit from his name. Especially without his consent.
A Web site seeking to ride the Tebow wave of popularity has come up with a unique product called Teebows — orange and blue women's panties shaped like a T with a bow on the back.
It's OK to sell Teebows (the 90-percent cotton underwear go for $6 a pair), but the Web site was issued a cease-and-desist order for using a picture of Tebow and an official Gators' logo on its site. The picture and logo have since been taken down on Teebows.com.
The order was sought by Collegiate Licensing Company, which partners with UF. Using Tebow's picture and a UF logo is copyright infringement, a common problem that UF has to contend with over the years.

I'll bet some of them will come with a bacon strip in them after Sept. 19th.

Looks like having Kiffin's picture in the locker room and shower at Florida is having an effect.

Teebows also come with a free circumcision.

Is this really an article? I mean my gosh, what is this 'author' thinking? This is crazy!

Seems like they would ride up during the game.

Order today, and you'll receive an extra pair with skid marks courtesy of Urban Meyer.

Wow, the jokes I could make out of this.
I'll save the ammo for later. I'm sure the gators won't come near this article. Tebow panties! Holy He11, that's to funny!
BillVol writes:
No jokes necessary. This is classic on its own. Did Collegiate Licensing have anything to do with it?
BigOrangePoet writes:
Tebow panties = Florida's new jock straps.
BigOrangePoet writes:
I wonder if Upper Deck will have some game used panties in their football cards next year like they do with game used jerseys?
I can see the tag line now...
Gator fans be the first to sniff out a pair of authentic Tim Tebow game used panties!

Perfect for all the Tebow worshipers out there. They can put these on their Tebow blow-up dolls and the fantasy will be complete. That goes for the media too, not just the fans.
chrisw2967 writes:
where is gayazz and dc ? they must not want none of this article.
Greer_Vol_22 writes:
I'm not sure Tebow has enough junk to fill these out.

Yeah it stings, but not as badly as having a QB with panties named after him, or losing to an 'inferior' SEC opponent at home, which of course made said QB cry.

This is just wrong.
pdhuff#552644 writes:
A spike in the doldrums articles!
Doubt if murrayvol and TJ buy any of these. Gator appropriate.
Dupree might have a passing interest if he could get them by TDTenn.
armyvol22 writes:
Do they come in parachut size? I've seen some big women in Florida. LOL
AustinTX_Vol writes:
Doesn't sting nearly as bad as having a QB that wears them!
RJ_Vol writes:
Now that is funny. Someone has finally hacked into the KNS server...and started writing the headlines. Who could it be?

I think you are right... With his infatuation with circumcisions he has probably whittled himself down to a nub.

You think all the Floria men wear these under their jean shorts?

He should switch to boxer briefs and maybe he will get drafted before the 5th round next year!!!
Who wants a QB(Safety) who wears T-Backs!!!
Smallmike4pres writes:
Finally, a Gator fan admitted that Tebow wears panties! Let the healing begin.
Voluvr writes:
I think of those times when they scan the Florida crowd and all those classy girls start shooting birds at the camera...maybe they'll start wearing underwear now.
murrayvol writes:
They haven't drooling since it went up. They'll be along shortly.
murrayvol writes:
Not my style. Prefer the basic JC Penney brief. Cheap and servicable.
I'm betting the faux gators pack in a good supply.

The tiny bow is also available in faded orange and faded blue, Dupree said.
Dupree is seldom worng.

your a sad boy,I bet you was like a kid on christmas morning waiting for them to go on sale.
belayvol writes:
uhhh, not to state the obvious but would you not need no more than a peanut shell as a cup to hold your package in while wearing these?
TommyJack writes:
I'm betting TT autographed the first pair in lipstick and shipped to Thom Brenneman.

They don't even know the difference between girls and guys in Gainesville??? No wonder everyone down there is wearing panties under their jorts.

HAHAHAHHAHAHA. how stupid can you be... you do realize saying that makes YOU sound worse. Why would any UT fan go out of their way to find a story about Tebow thongs... we have no need to scour the internet in search of other teams news (not so much of news in this case just, a good laugh). That would be left to you idiots who can't stay off a Tennessee site. Good one though buddy... you were the first to know about the Tebow thong and you should be proud! damn proud!

Heh heh heh. It's so easy to get a rise out of the interlopers. I knew this article would disturb them immensely.

It's funny how every time somebody has a good comeback on a comment and nobody can think of anything to say back, they look for a typo.

Not skid marks, hash marks. From where Monte's D is going to knock TeBlowMe on his a** all day baby! GO VOLS!

especially the capitalization thing... that is just ridiculous.
