Tons
of people want a body like J.R. Smith and now they can
have it because the NBA star is selling t-shirts of his tatted physique, and
making a TON of cash in the process.
Smith's
inked up physique dominated the Internet when he refused to put a shirt on
following the NBA Finals -- and a Cleveland-based clothing company saw a huge
chance to cash in on the topless attention.
We
spoke with Tony Madalone of Fresh
Brewed Tees who immediately commissioned replicas of Smith's upper body
for shirts and he says they've already sold 1,000 units ($35 a pop) in less
than 24 hours.
What's
interesting ... the company realized some of J.R.'s tats could be problematic
because they're based off trademarked images such as Michael Jordan's
"Jumpman" logo.
So,
in an effort to skirt the issue FBT altered some of the tats. Some of the
changes, they removed the name "Jordan" from a #23 jersey and
modified the "Jumpman" logo. By the way, Obama famously told
Smith to put a shirt on after the victory wonder if this counts.
