The sin bin is two minutes of sitting still in a building where nothing else stops. You can hear the bench from in there. You have time, which is the punishment, and you spend it thinking about the hold you absolutely did commit. So: a beer named after it. COLD BARN BREWING CO. — SIN BIN Stout, est. 1974. Two minutes for holding. It's a real call and it's a description of a man holding a beer, and it only works because it's a label. A brewery that doesn't exist, a stout you can't buy, drawn the way a label actually was in 1974: two flat inks, bone and warm amber, a keyline frame, banner bands top and bottom, a heavy condensed serif, hop sprigs. No crossed sticks. No cartoon ref. Nothing in a sans-serif telling you it's a joke. A stout is the darkest beer in the case, so this one only comes in the dark. That's not a limitation, it's the point — seven dark colorways: black, forest, maroon, heather navy, heather forest, team purple and true royal. Printed on the Bella+Canvas 3719 unisex fleece pullover hoodie — the soft, well-cut staple hoodie, not the boxy blank the league hands out in a bag. Direct-to-garment printed, so the design feels like part of the hoodie. It's the one you'll wear to the rink in September and to everything else the rest of the year. Captains: at this price it's the one you can actually put on all eighteen of them, and the penalty box is a joke every single one of them is personally implicated in. Made to order and printed in about 3–7 business days before it ships. Wash cold, tumble dry low, and skip ironing directly on the print. Two minutes. You'll be fine.
