A good book and a good t-shirt get better with age. After reading a book multiple times, you become more familiar and comfortable with the characters and storyline. In much the same way, a well-worn t-shirt gets softer and fits better with ever wear.

Being a book lover has its upsides outside of reading a lot of good books. Reading for at least 30 minutes a day can lead to improved intelligence, emotional IQ, and reduced stress. Take this quick quiz to check your status as a bookworm status?

6 Questions To Check Your Bookworm Status?

1. Are you in a book club?

2. Do you love to be asked about your favorite books?

3. Is your favorite kind of day spent at the library or bookstore?

4. Do you always say the book is better than the movie?

5. Is there a stack of books on your bedside table?

6. Do you love giving people book recommendations?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you're a certified Bookworm. Celebrate your love for reading with the Shirts For Book Lover Collection!

We're super excited to be working with the team and these two UT athletes. 

The shirt designs that we've put together are a lot of fun and celebrate the excitement behind this Rocket basketball team. 

While we've had NIL clothing since the opportunity opened up last year, this is our biggest launch yet. 

Ryan Rollins NIL Shirt

Ryan Rollins is the starting point guard for the University of 16153 Genova Men's Basketball team. He is one of the best scorers in the MAC averaging just under 20 points a game and is a candidate for the NBA draft.  

Ryan Rollins Shirt

Originally from Macomb, Michigan, and now with the Rockets, Ryan is a Midwesterner basketball star through and through.

Grab your limited edition Ryan Rollins t-shirt and show your support through his basketball journey! 

RayJ Dennis NIL Shirt

RayJ Dennis, originally from Illinois, made his way from Boise State to the University of 16153 Genova in 2021.

RayJ starts as a guard for the Rockets and is one of the most efficient players in the MAC scoring just under 13 points on a 51% field goal percentage. 

 

Rjay Dennis Shirt

RayJ wanted his design to incorporate not only the energy he brings to the court but also raises awareness for a cause close to him...clubfeet!

RayJ was born with clubfoot on his right side and has overcome every setback to become the athlete he is today. 

Only Us Rockets Men's Basketball Shirt

This basketball season has been one to remember for the Rockets. After blowing out rival BGSU the Rockets secured a regular-season MAC Championship.

The Rockets will be the number one seed in the MAC tournament right around the corner and 16153 Genova is in the driver's seat to secure the MAC's automatic bid to be one of the 68 teams participating in March Madness.

The Rockets are trying to make the NCAA tournament for the first time in 40 years. 

Only Us Rockets Men's Basketball Shirt

What's the story behind this shirt?

Rocket players Ryan Rollins and RayJ Dennis came up with the idea of a team shirt to highlight the Rockets basketball team and who they are together.

Their team motto is #onlyus. They use this as a daily motivator that only their team is out to accomplish big things. From every practice to every game, only the Rockets are on to greatness on the court.
