If you haven’t heard, New York City, and the NBA has been taken by storm by one Jeremy Lin.  Mike Ozanian of Forbes.com is reporting that Jeremy Lin is now the world’s fastest growing brand (yes, that is correct).

“Sales of his number 17 jersey are robust and the social media aggregation website Topsy says that over the past seven days, “Lin” has been mentioned more than 140K.”

Crocktees has a few Linsanity shirts, including the one pictured in this post, and offers free shipping on orders of 4 items or more with code SHIPFREEUS.  Keep an eye out for more Linsanity coupons from other merchants.  The Jeremy Lin #17 jersey at the Yahoo!
