bless the University of Tennessee

Saw a story about a kid being bullied at school because he couldn't buy an item for a root for your team day.  So he wrote a big U. T. in white on an orange shirt and wore it to school.  UT saw the story and made the shirt an official school item and will donate part of the proceeds to anti bullying org.  Maybe there is hope for the world after all.

Bullying is a big issue for their football team too.

Saw this over the weekend.  People sent the kid stuff and now he has enough gear to open a store

Looks like they can't get their color right either.

"I am not wearing that god awful Tennessee orange.  It's just not in my color wheel"  

Or words to that effect.

It actually makes a pretty cool-looking graphic for a t-shirt.  Sort of MSPaint-esque which I think we can all appreciate.

Good for them!

Read about it over the weekend, great story, great job by UTenn/Teacher and everyone involved.  

Tempted to buy one for charity, doubt it comes in size FA.

Dude. It's Tennessee. You're probably a smedium. 

[DDD Dad 14344]

Love the story but no way am I wearing any Tennessee flair.

Go Gators.

To be honest, put those two in UK blue & white and you'd get a majority of BBN, myself included.

IIRC if you buy one west of the Mississippi River Texas gets all the money.

Good on Tenn for doing this.  Could the kid go after them for stealing his creative property without consent??? Long game.

If only we knew someone who was well versed enough in MS paint that we could get some t-shirts at the co-op

You can't spell Citrus without UT.

Turn it into a T-shirt? Sounds like WIN-WIN-WIN to me!

Seems unlikely.

So where does this put them in the Fulmer Cup?

[gmr548 16584]

So what player was getting bullied for his shirt?

[Pato del Muerto 52531]

All proceeds should go to the person that created the design 

[RDCanecutter 26454]

If a kid had done this with the Alabama logo, bitchass prissy UA lawyers would still be crawling up his ass.

[SDG 3319]

Thought I’d post this here from twitter.

Shouldn't the kid get to direct all of the profits?

News said Tenn has offered the kid a full scholarship when he graduates high school and that the school store has 50k orders for shirts.  Even so, the school should throw him a couple of $ per shirt.
