Fred Fillah, president of Fans Only, LLC, the T-shirt's distributor, came up with the "On The Road To Sixburgh" slogan and asked James Harrison to be featured on the shirt.

"There's been 'One For The Thumb' for 26 years," Fillah said. "And (James Harrison) thought, 'You know what? We are on the road to Sixburgh."

The printer announced the design on Friday. Its previous designs include many popular Steelers shirts, including the "Big Ben" tees, "Brotherhood of the Ring" and "The Tackle."

Fillah said there may be more T-shirts forthcoming "possibly" with other players on the team, but he couldn't say anything more.

The T-shirts will retail for around $20 and be available at local sports shops and Giant Eagle stores.
