The company has since sold out of the shirts and took to IG Thursday to thank ‘Stros fans for their “passion.”

“We love you, Houston. Hang tight while we restock!” the post’s caption said.

H8usshirts is encouraging fans who missed out to go on their website and submit their emails so they can be notified when the shirts are back in stock.
