That didn't take long. At all.
Less than 24 hours after David Ortiz's heartfelt, colorful and FCC approved speech was delivered to the crowd at Fenway Park prior to the Red Sox emotional and exhilarating 4-3 victory over the Royals on Saturday afternoon, a t-shirt proudly displaying his blunt, yet energizing phrase "This is our f'ing city" was put up for sale over at teespring.com.
Pretty wild, this social media and internet driven world we live in. Literally anything — a phrase, a meme, a video, anything — can catch on early on a Saturday afternoon and be a phenomenon by the time you wake up on Sunday (and sometimes fizzle by Monday). This one will likely stick around for awhile, especially up in New England. But I can see it selling well all over the country because, well, it's pretty awesome and the message is easy to get behind.
As you can see, the shirt comes in Red Sox colors and uses the same font as the print on their uniforms. That might be a problem for some. But again, it's pretty awesome, so I'm sure you can overlook it.
If you'd like to own it, you can for a reasonable $19.99. The shirts will come in sizes small to 3XL so take note of that as well.
