“This t-shirt is a replica of the one that Muhammad Ali, then Cassius Clay, wore in training for his 1964 upset of Sonny Liston in which he won the heavyweight title for the first time. It was a victory that, as Ali famously put it, “shook up the world,” and immediately launched him into that rare stratosphere of superstardom that he would occupy for the rest of his life.” [Via No Mas]
