SYRACUSE -- The Syracuse University basketball team's recent run of wins is helping area businesses score with customers, especially companies that make t-shirts, as people want to show off their Orange pride. One of the new designs in from Papa's Sports in Syracuse is a "SUpermen" t-shirt.
The owner, Mike Toomey, says that they wanted to do something in response to the great run the Orange have been having. “It definitely helps out business across the board for us. Syracuse as a whole - people are out watching the games, excited. We never open on a Sunday we opened today and except for when the game was on, we were busy most of the day.”
This new design comes on the heels of the popular "Marathon Men" and "Orange Out" shirts which celebrated the team's record six-overtime win over UConn in the Big East Tournament and the huge crowd for Georgetown game on Valentine's Day.
The "SUpermen" shirts cost about 11 dollars each.
