New England Patriots Vince Wilfork Featured On “Air Wilfork” Tees

New England Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork is featured as “Air Wilfork” on T-shirts
617 Apparel, a Boston-based clothing company, has released the T-shirt of the NFL season: Air Wilfork.
In the Patriots’ Week 16 meeting with the New York Jets, the 325-pound Wilfork blocked a crucial Jets’ field goal attempt in the fourth quarter, which led to safety Devin McCourty calling Wilfork “Air Vince” in the locker room and then this tweet from McCourty after the game.
617 Apparel saw an opportunity to capitalize on the joke and, according to the 617 Apparel twitter account, made the “Air Wilfork” shirts, which come in short-sleeve, long-sleeve, and even sweatshirt, features Wilfork, potbelly and all, re-creating Michael Jordan’s famous pose and “Jumpman” logo.
While “Air Wilfork” is great and all, “Air Vince” is way better! As easily has they created the Wilfork-Jumpman logo, they could have done a play on Vince Carter and re-created Carter’s between-the-legs dunk and the shirt could have looked even cooler.
Honestly, though, of all the parody T-shirts and clothing out there, this is one of the funnier shirts I’ve ever seen.
If you’re a fan of the T-shirt, you can get them from 617Apparel.com, where you can also find shirts and sweatshirts featuring slogans, like “Ice, Ice Brady”:
And “F-Bomb Tom”:
Way to go, 617 Apparel!
