England goalkeeper Mary Earps sells out T-shirt line after being snubbed by Nike
T-SHIRTS launched by England goalkeeper Mary Earps after her Nike kit snub have sold out.
The World Cup Golden Glove winner came up with two designs featuring the slogans Girls Know the Offside Rule Too and Be Unapologetically Yourself.
Yesterday both of the black £26.50 tops had sold out on her Mae27 site.
The phrases come from a speech Earps, 30, made in February when accepting a Fifa best women’s goalkeeper award.
Nike was slammed for refusing to sell replica shirts with the Man Utd star’s name on.
Earps, dubbed Mary, Queen of Stops, called it disappointing and very hurtful.

She said: "For my own family, friends and loved ones not to be able to buy my shirt, they’re just going to come out and wear normal clothes.
"I know there’s a lot of people who have spent a tremendous amount of money on outfield shirts and then put ‘1 Earps’ on the back, which doesn’t sit well with me either. It’s a very scary message that’s being sent to goalkeepers worldwide that 'you’re not important'.
"It’s something that I’ve been fighting behind closed doors. I’ve been desperately trying to find a solution with the FA and with Nike."
After England’s loss, Nike said it was “working towards solutions for future tournaments”.
