Oakland Raiders punter Chris Kluwe said of the line:

I am extremely proud to be a part of this collaboration between Athlete Ally and the NFLPA's One Team Shop to raise awareness both of Pride month and the issue of tolerance and respect within the NFL itself. As players, we are role models to a wide variety of people, and this is a great way to send a message of empathy to those who love and watch the game.

Kluwe added, " Also, I'm pretty stoked that people can buy something with my number on it."
