The Iron Bowl never disappoints as Alabama and Auburn always make for entertaining and dramatic football. The 2023 edition was no exception.

With No. 8-ranked Alabama trailing on 4th and 31 and with just under a minute left, quarterback Jalen Milroe connected with wide receiver Isiah Bond in the back of the endzone to give the Crimson Tide the win on the biggest play of Milroe's career. 

Milroe and Bond became instant heroes in Tuscaloosa and Athletes Thread quickly launched a new NIL apparel collection to support the two athletes. The collection features a shirt that reads "Grave Digger" and shows the 4th and 31 play on the back.

The price of the t-shirt is $34.99 and they also have sweaters and sweatshirts available. Regardless of how Alabama fairs in the SEC Championship Game this weekend, it's safe to say these will be a popular item for Alabama fans this holiday season. 

The Crimson Tide now face two-time reigning national champion and No. 1-ranked Georgia with a spot in the College Football Playoff on the line.

Alabama's only loss this season came against the Texas Longhorns in week two and if they defeat Georgia, a spot in the College Football Playoff seems hard for the Selection Committee to pass up. 

Bond finished the Iron Bowl with a team-leading five catches for 75 yards and that memorable touchdown. Milroe earned SEC Player of the Week honors for his performance, which included 366 total yards - 259 in the air, team-high 107 on the ground - and two touchdowns.
