The Genesis of a #LegalHitner – Ts on Sale

As I am sure you are all aware by now, Donte Whitner is legally changing his name to Donte Hitner. We cover the course of events in our week 4 podcast… Apparently, the T-shirts EL & I were dying to get our hands on are available. Another Enemy has a few basic shirt design mock-ups on their site.
