First, August 15th, 2019: Bryce acquires the first shirsey in a giveaway. This is a very important game in Bryce's career regardless (he hit a walk-off grand slam) but for the purpose of this post we will focus on the shirsey.

He cut and cropped the shirsey into a tanktop:

AND you can see the shirsey strap under his jersey during the game:

Bryce admitted to wearing the shirsey for most of the second half of the season under his jersey. I assume that he wore it for good luck and when he hit the grand slam he was like oh this is helping me and kept wearing it.

Now, cut to July 2020. Bryce wears another JT shirsey for BP during summer camp. (this is from a collage I made bc I don't feel like taking more screenshots).

This was the beginning of an extensive campaign from Bryce to get JT resigned, as JT was to become a free agent at the end of the season. But that's shirsey #2. He continued to wear the shirsey underneath his jersey for the rest of the season ( I actually think this is the tank-top one below). Example:

Bryce then, in an intrasquad game about a week later (july 8th, 2020), yelled at the empty crowd to "sign him! [JT]" when JT homered.

THEN. October 2020, Bryce posts this. This is straight up a jersey. Shirsey/jersey #3. Also note the "3.10 to Vegas." Bryce's number is 3, JT's is 10.

On October 25th, 2020, Bryce and JT + their wives got dinner in Vegas. I'm sure maybe they discussed JT's free agency here because Bryce was laying it on HEAVY.

January, 2021: JT signs a five year contract with the Phillies. The "campaign" should stop there, right?

WRONG. March/April ( can't remember) , 2021:

(note the caption--was it JT's actual jersey)??

That brings us to Shirsey/jersey #4.

Bryce also wore JT's belt in Spring Training that year:

But yeah that brings us to the end of the shirsey/jersey saga. I don't know when Bryce stopped wearing it. There's a ton more lore so if you have any questions feel free to ask.
