A Kid Got Bullied for His Homemade Tennessee Volunteers Shirt . . . Now the School Is Selling It

If you haven’t seen this yet, it’s pretty great . . .

There’s an elementary school kid in Tallahassee who’s a huge University of Tennessee fan.  But apparently he couldn’t afford one of their shirts, so he made one.

He drew the initials “U.T.” on a piece of paper.  Then he literally just pinned it to an orange shirt.  But the kids at his school were pretty ruthless, and he got made fun of a lot.

Then his teacher posted a photo of it on Facebook, hoping someone would buy him a real Tennessee Volunteers shirt.  And something even better happened.

The president of the university saw the post and sent him a TON of swag.  Then the school announced they were actually making shirts with the logo the KID designed.

They’re selling it online for $15.  And a portion of each sale will go to a charity called Stomp Out Bullying.

You can preorder one through the University of Tennessee’s official campus store website.  They’ll ship later this month.

Share in a Florida elementary student’s Volunteer pride by wearing his design on your shirt too! Pre-order today for a late September expected delivery. A portion of proceeds from every shirt sold will be donated to @STOMPOutBullyng .https://t.co/NdnTtYREFL pic.twitter.com/OeTZvgC09Y
