After a kid was bullied for his homemade University of Tennessee T-shirt, his logo became official

An elementary school student showed up to school wearing an orange T-shirt with a hand-drawn logo representing the University of Tennessee Volunteers and was bullied by the other students for it. When the university found out, they used his logo on an official T-shirt. ABC News reports that "demand for the product is so high that it crashed the school's website."

The University of Tennessee decided that they would take the boy's design and make it an official school shirt with a portion of the proceeds being donated to STOMP Out Bullying, a national non-profit organization that is dedicated to eradicating bullying of all forms.
"Thank you Vol Nation! Currently, our website has crashed due to the overwhelming support," the online store tweeted. "We are working on the problem. Once the server restarts, we anticipate the issue to be resolved. #GoVols #EverywhereUT."

Share in a Florida elementary student's Volunteer pride by wearing his design on your shirt too! Pre-order today for a late September expected delivery. A portion of proceeds from every shirt sold will be donated to @STOMPOutBullyng .https://t.co/NdnTtYREFL pic.twitter.com/OeTZvgC09Y
