CLIFTON HEIGHTS, Pa. (CBS) – Phillies fans are excited about the signing of superstar Bryce Harper, and Harper gear is flying off the shelves. The hype is building and the printing machines are working overtime.
They can’t seem to crank out enough Harper T-shirts with hundreds being made minute-by-minute.
Bryce Harper Mania is in full swing and fans are snatching up every piece of merchandise and paraphernalia they can find.
“We could probably generate 20,000 shirts a day out here,” Anthony Sulpizio, an American Marketing employee, said.
The T-shirt printing machines at American Marketing in Clifton Heights haven’t stopped since the former NL MVP was introduced at spring training in Clearwater, Florida, on Saturday as the new face of the Phillies’ franchise.
