Fred's Fish Fry officials said they decided to make an official jersey due to surging demand.
On Friday, officials with the San Antonio-based fast food chain said it will begin selling an "official" version of the jersey that went on viral on social media this week, adding that the move was prompted by intense demand.
The jersey will be available at Fred's Fish Fry locations and the corporate office in about two weeks, company Public Relations Manager John Anthony Villanueva told the Current via email.
For those who can't wait that long, two online stores are already selling similar merchandise based on the design made by San Antonio artist Adrian Galvan. Galvan's cheeky take on the Spurs' City Edition gear struck a chord with fans by making Fred's Fish Fry a name sponsor for the team.

The jersey being sold by online retailer Wade and Williamson (pictured above) is part of a licensing agreement with San Antonio artist Adrian Galvan.
However, the Wade and Williamson gear doesn't feature Fred's Fish Fry's insignia, only the red and blue fish image found on the restaurant's to-go boxes.
Spurs fans can also buy merchandise including a pint glass, T-shirt and fleece blanket with a similar design from online store Bexar County Social Apparel. However, shop owner Michael Baez told the Current he reached no licensing deal with Galvan to use the imagery.
