With the 138th meeting between Douglas and Bisbee just over a week away Douglas High School coaches Gilbert Rojas and Ron Ellsworth came up with an idea to help commemorate the event.


Bruce Whetten / Douglas Dispatch Gilbert Rojas shows off the Bisbee vs. Douglas T-shirt he co-designed along with coach Ron Ellsworth. The t-shirts are $12 and $14 depending on the size. They will be on sale at the scrimmage tonight with Marana and at the DECA store during school hours.

The two coaches co-designed a t-shirt that is now available to the public. The shirts, which cost $12 for sizes small, medium, large and extra large and $14 for 2x and above, will be on sale tonight at 5 p.m. at the Douglas High School football field when the Douglas Bulldogs hold a 60-play scrimmage with the Marana Tigers.

“Coach Ellsworth and I were just talking one day about doing something different for the Bisbee game,” Rojas said. “We started fooling around with some ideas and this is what we came up with. … We’re really pleased with the outcome.”

Rojas said since the two teams play for the coveted Copper Pick the t-shirt had to have that in it plus the two team’s helmets.

“We got a hold of the official record and decided to throw that in there,” he said.

The shirt even has a Bisbee – Douglas connection. The design was made in Douglas but the shirts printed in Bisbee.

“It really turned out great on a white shirt,” he said. “I’m really pleased with how it came out.”

Rojas has 150 shirts printed and has sold approximately 50 leaving around 100 left.

The shirts are being sold through the DECA store at DHS. All proceeds will go to the DHS baseball club.

    " The Bisbee Helmet is incorrect. It's silver, not red. Get used to the silver helmets, you'll be seeing them dancing in the end-zone all night long on friday! "
