WWE Report: Jordan Myles selling anti-racism t-shirt
In light of his recent drama involving WWE, Jordan Myles has partnered with Pro Wrestling Tees to produce his own t-shirt that’s a far cry from WWE’s release.
As most readers will understand from following the developing story over the past few days, WWE Superstar Jordan Myles has been very vocal about his disdain for a t-shirt his company released in his name. A t-shirt that has been criticized for suspiciously resembling blackface imagery.
“If this is Vince McMahon and Triple H’s ‘vision’ of me, then this is a slap in the face to EVERY African American performer, fan, and supporter,” per Myles’ own words via a tweet. What followed was a plethora of follow-up tweets explaining his side of the story, even more responses from the wrestling community, and the beginning of the #ForTheCulture hashtag movement started by Myles. As the situation continues, Myles has decided to produce and release his own t-shirt design separate from WWE Shop.
Rather than a new t-shirt on his company’s official Shop website, Myles has opted to turn to Pro Wrestling Tees where he is distributing a black and white graphic tee. The design is a simple, but effective slogan in big, white, bold letters against an all black background. It reads the following: “F%#K RACISM WATCH WRESTLING.”

The t-shirt itself can be purchased at this link for just $19.99 and as Myles noted in his tweet announcing the release of the shirt, all proceeds will go to the ADAA Foundation because he himself feels like he does not need the money.
For those not familiar with the ADAA Foundation, it is a foundation started in the year 1970 dedicated to the distribution of art and the research of art history. They often use their donations to grants for museums, archives and art organizations across the globe.
