Sad clown, actor, bartender, poetry enthusiast and sports fan Bill Murray is 66 today. To celebrate, he's launching a golf clothing line with his brother and The Chive.
William Murray Golf features a Cubs-inspired polo shirt called This is the Year, which costs $75 and features a description that would put J. Peterman to shame:
When you catch sight of these iconic pinstripes, you know everything you need to know. It's The Windy City. It's America's Greatest Pastime. It's the Friendly Confines. It's faith. And it all comes together with the Murrays' love of baseball in one amazing polo. Is this the year? Definitely.
The William Murray Golf collection
There's also a hat with the Murray tartan ($32) and other items that will be available at the official launch next month, October 20th, including a shirt with whiskey glasses and another with mums.
The Chive says, "The William Murray Golf line is whimsical, but not as over-the-top as one might expect. When we created WMG, we agreed that you should be able to spot a WMG from 50 feet away, but not 100 feet. No matter how irreverent or fun the line is, it remains classy." And gopher-less.
