LIMITED EDITION Save a Life Jersey

PBTS x We Close Deals | The Save a Life #99 Jersey

More than a jersey. A number with meaning. A mission worth supporting.

Our PBTS x We Close Deals Save a Life #99 Jersey combines classic athletic style with a cause close to our community. Designed with a relaxed, oversized fit, traditional button-up front, and sporty piping details, this jersey brings a timeless, varsity-inspired look to everyday wear.

The number 99 was intentionally chosen to honor Michael T. Ellsessar, a beloved student-athlete who proudly wore #99 for the Oxford High School Pirates. Michael tragically passed away at just 16 years old after collapsing while playing high school football in 2010. His memory and love for sports continue to inspire the mission behind the Scholastic Sports Zone Foundation.

Every detail of this jersey represents something bigger than the game — honoring Michael's legacy, raising awareness, and helping protect the next generation of student-athletes.

Wear for a Cause

Poppy by the Shore is proud to partner with We Close Deals, a New England real estate team, in support of their quarterly charity, the Scholastic Sports Zone Foundation.

This Massachusetts-based nonprofit is dedicated to protecting student-athletes by providing schools and athletic programs with lifesaving Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), CPR/AED training, and emergency preparedness resources.

15% of sales from this collection will be donated to the Scholastic Sports Zone Foundation, helping bring lifesaving resources to local schools and making athletics safer for young athletes in our communities.

This jersey is more than just apparel. It's a tribute to Michael, a reminder of the importance of emergency preparedness, and an opportunity to make a difference.

Wear #99 with purpose. Honor the legacy. Help save a life.
