Jimmy Fallon might be one of the most high-profile sports fans in Hollywood. (Don’t forget, he loves baseball so much, he made a romantic comedy about how his character’s love for the Red Sox almost ruined his relationship). So when he came up with an out-of-the-box idea for sports fan apparel, you better believe people listened.
Jimmy Fallon Hands High
Fallon’s big idea? A line of clothing that shows your team’s logo when you jump out of your seat cheering after a big play. (Also great for doing the wave, throwing your hands in the air like you just don’t care, high fives etc.) That’s right, the team’s insignia is emblazoned in the armpit. “That’s prime real estate! … Luckily, they talked me out of the name Pitz,” he says of his collaboration with sports apparel manufacturer G-III, which is actually called “Hands High.” (See some models demo the line, below — and sorry for not picking the Red Sox models, Jimmy, but uh … go Cubs!)

Fallon announced the new line on his show Wednesday night, donning a Jets sweatshirt to lead his newly Hands High-clad audience in a rousing rendition of the wave. And if you’re ready to expose your logo-clad pits to the world, you can get the shirts at Fanatics, Dick’s Sporting Goods or your team’s shop. As Fallon tells People, “When your team is winning and you want to show people who you’re rooting for, get your Hands High!”
Is this the most genius idea you’ve ever seen? Weigh in now!
