IRONTON, OH (WOWK) — Business is booming for t-shirt shops across Ohio with the news Joe Burrow was drafted first in the 2020 NFL Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals.
You may have noticed Joe Burrow wearing a unique shirt during the 2020 NFL Draft. The shirt features an outline of the State of Ohio with the numbers “740” in the middle. T-shirt shops are now meeting a new demand as they get orders for replica shirts.
The whole point of this ‘T-Shirt-Mania’ is two fold: supporting local businesses, and showing the pride of this Appalachian region.
“Any good news that happens in this area is great news,” said Sean Daniel, owner of ‘Oops, I Shirt Myself!‘ in Ironton. “Especially in this time of need, everybody needs as much pride and hope.”
Other t-shirt shops are making their own versions of the shirt as well. You can order online from ‘Oops, I Shirt Myself!,’ ‘Treasures From the Valley,’ or ‘Make-It-Yours.’
