Patriots star Julian Edelman is selling election-style T-shirts in hopes his marketing move helps keep teammate/great friend Tom Brady stay with New England for the upcoming season.
Check out the slogan and shirt:
New England is a Tomocracy. #StayTom 🐐🇺🇸 https://t.co/UbMpMDyBV8 pic.twitter.com/rkSxUB5Mrj

At a college basketball game Saturday at Syracuse University, Edelman, sitting courtside next to Brady, seemed to mouth to a camera: “He’s coming back, he’s coming back.”
Brady gave Edelman a glance and smile (Or was it, ‘Not cool, dude’?)
Take a look for yourself at this viral video.

Whatever your take, Edelman’s friendly clothing gesture may not matter.
Brady is a free agent for the first time in his career after completing his 20th season in New England. Nobody is quite sure what the NFL legend is going to do, but a Boston.com columnist made his prediction Sunday on the QB’s possible return to the Pats with his opinion piece under this headline:
“Tom Brady isn’t coming back to the Patriots, so why are we still playing this game like he is?”
And Just Blog Baby.com adds: “The Las Vegas Raiders are in the conversation of acquiring six-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady, and the rumors have heated up during the Combine.”
Uh, oh, Julian. Your good buddy may be moving away, but the T-shirts can’t hurt.
