First published in 1960 by Dr. Seuss, the story is told entirely through images and rhyming dialogue where two main characters, the first unnamed, the second named Sam-I-Am, enter the ultimate struggle of wills. Despite constant badgering by Sam, the unnamed character refuses to taste the dish, insisting that he would not like it. Sam constantly badgers him to try green eggs and ham thus beginning a lyrical and colorful journey through an assortment of locations and dining partners where Sam relentlessly persuades him to eat, you know what, green eggs and ham. The back of the jersey depicts the conclusion of the tale when the unnamed character, standing in shallow water after a boat sinks, finally agrees to try the green eggs and ham and upon such, happily admits that it is actually delicious.
