The Rattlesnake's Merchandise Rattles Up Riches
Stone Cold Steve Austin. The name alone conjures up images of shattering glass, middle fingers flying high, and a whole lot of denim. But there's one other thing that's as synonymous with the Texas Rattlesnake as anything else: the iconic Austin 3:16 t-shirt.
This shirt wasn't just a piece of clothing, it was a badge of honor for fans of the Attitude Era. It was a declaration of allegiance to the working man's hero, a middle finger to the establishment, and a guaranteed conversation starter at any schoolyard. But just how many of these bad boys got sold? Well, that number is about as elusive as a turnbuckle to Stunning Steve.
