I will lay odds that the t's are not licensed by Nike. I sense a trademark infringement suit.

The median income for a household in the county was $29,809, and the median income for a family was $36,805. Males had a median income of $31,868 versus $19,740 for females

in the county. A lot of poverty and wealth in my old home town.
