A limited run of T-shirts featuring artwork commissioned for the Herald by guest editor Sir John Kirwan sold out in less than a day, raising more than $5,000 for charity.
The 200 shirts - which cost $29 each - were all gone by 5pm on Tuesday, the day Sir John's edition of the Herald hit the streets.
Sir John said it was great that the public had responded so enthusiastically to his editorship.
"It was a fantastic experience to edit the Herald and something I'd never imagined myself doing," he said.
