New England Patriots fans already are selling T-shirts in support of Tom Brady, so New York Jets fans naturally had to get in on the Brady-wear trend. While “Free Brady” shirts were being printed in New England after the NFL handed the Patriots quarterback a four-game suspension for his role in DeflateGate, Jets fans created something slightly different.
