Soon to be found on the "$2 and under" rack at the Salvation Army
According to the latest Fox Sports release:
Due to high demand, "Digger," the popular cartoon gopher of Gopher Cam fame, is now featured on T-shirts. Fox Sports, in conjunction with Chase Authentics, has designed a T-shirt for Digger's growing legion of fans. The Digger T-shirt will be widely available for sale at trackside merchandise rigs all season long beginning this weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway, and from a variety of web sites, including www.FoxSports.com on MSN; www.goracin.com; www.speedtv.com; and www.dwstore.com. The high grade shirts, which come in both youth and adult sizes, are priced from $15 to $21.50. Additional apparel and novelty items, including baseball caps and plush toys, are expected to join the Digger line in the near future.
A T-shirt dedicated to a cartoon that represents a camera position. Gotta be a first.
You mean there were no websites with the domain ".edu" that were offering them?

:Sigh:
Gee, couldn't see this coming, especially from Fox Sports.
Doubtless, they'll give a bunch to "fans" (played by employees) and show them all weekend, showing the demand for the shirts. Uh-huh.
And to think the name was picked in an on line poll. Does this mean anyone who voted gets a piece of the revenue?
I'd get one just to change the name from Digger to David Hill...considering how Fox Sports last NASCAR related poll was handled.
