After the game, Raleigh the team&#8217;s leader and MVP candidate, did his best impression of Jake Taylor from &#8220;Major League,&#8221; saying to the crowd, &#8220;(We) might as well go win the whole f&#8212;ing thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Mottram, the president of Breaking T, a company which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cllct.com\/sports-collectibles\/memorabilia\/march-madness-provides-breaking-t-s-shining-moment\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:specializes in quickly turning moments into licensed T-shirts;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">specializes in quickly turning moments into licensed T-shirts<\/a>, rapidly set it into action.<\/p>\n<p>By 11:16 a.m. ET on Wednesday, shirts featuring Raleigh&#8217;s quote were live on the site. And sales went nuclear.<\/p>\n<p>Less than 24 hours later, the shirt was already the company&#8217;s top baseball T-shirt in the last two months and is well on its way to being the top MLB seller of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It might be our No. 1 by the end of the day, honestly,&#8221; Mottram said. &#8220;Cal Raleigh&#8217;s given us some good material.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>By 1 p.m. ET on Thursday, sales had already eclipsed Wednesday&#8217;s scorching pace.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the R-rated version, Breaking T also produced a PG version, though the sales for that shirt don&#8217;t compare to the explicit model, outpacing the kids&#8217; version 32:1 in sales.<\/p>\n<p>Mottram, though, isn&#8217;t surprised the kids&#8217; version isn&#8217;t selling as well. He saw the same trend when Breaking T released two different T-shirts of Yankees manager Aaron Boone&#8217;s &#8220;savages in the box&#8221; rant.<\/p>\n<p>Though the PG version of Raleigh&#8217;s shirt is quite clever. It features a dump truck, a play on Raleigh&#8217;s incredible nickname of the &#8220;Big Dumper&#8221;, with the words, &#8220;Might as well win the whole trucking thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Matt Liberman is a reporter and video producer for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cllct.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:cllct;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">cllct<\/a>, the premier company for collectible culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jamie Mottram woke up to a flurry of texts Wednesday morning.
