A Cincinnati store that made custom Damar Hamlin shirts in the wake of the Bills safety's medical crisis tells TMZ Sports it's made $50K off the tees ... and is now planning on donating all of that cash to DH's Chasing M's Foundation.
Cincy Shirts put together three designs after the scary incident on Jan. 2 ... when the 24-year-old collapsed and went into cardiac arrest during the Bills vs. Bengals "Monday Night Football" game.
One shirt reads "More Than Football" with Hamlin's #3 jersey number. Another has Cincinnati's "513" area code on it with Bengals and Bills team colors. The third is a design from a local artist that features the Bengals and Bills mascots wearing No. 3 jerseys.
Cincy Shirts co-owner Josh Sneed tells us the custom pieces are selling like crazy, both in stores and online ... and they're trying hard to keep up with the orders.
Sneed went on to say that all of the proceeds from the shirt sales will be donated to Hamlin's foundation.
"It seems no matter who needs something, this city steps up," Sneed said. "I'm lucky to see this happen time in and time out. Very proud of this city."
Sneed also delivered a box of shirts to Hamlin's family at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and to the Bengals. In fact, cornerback Cameron Taylor-Britt took a selfie wearing one on Thursday.
Cincy Shirts is one of many apparel stores trying to help out Damar ... Obvious Shirts also made custom Hamlin tees and hoodies and donated $14,003 to the foundation on Thursday.

Erika Jayne Lisa's Departure Leaves Huge Hole ... 'RHOBH' Will Feel It
01/06/23
Erika Jayne says Lisa Rinna simply can't be replaced on "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" ... because Lisa's the greatest 'Housewives' star of all time.
The 'RHOBH' star was out shopping Friday when cameras asked her about Lisa's recent announcement about leaving the Bravo reality TV series.
Erika says producers can try, but they won't be able to find anyone who can fill Lisa's shoes. The way Erika sees it ... Lisa is the "f***** GOAT."
When asked if Lisa Vanderpump should return to the show, Erika scoffed ... calling Lisa a "coward" who ran away from the show and couldn't face the music at the reunion ... so, not a good fit in Erika's eyes.
Remember ... Kathy Hilton gave the show an ultimatum ... vowing not to return if Lisa and Erika came back ... and Erika says she respects Kathy for coming to the reunion show despite all the bad blood.
While Erika says she's going to miss Lisa on the show, they're pretty good friends off camera and she says they will hang out in real life ... which is more valuable to her than having an ally on the show.
Bottom line for Erika ... Lisa will be missed and everyone involved in the show will feel it.

Oscar De La Hoya and his wife, Millie Corretjer, are now legally on their way to being officially caput ... TMZ Sports has learned the boxing legend filed for divorce on Friday, over six years after the two split up.
In the docs, De La Hoya listed the grounds for the divorce as irreconcilable differences.
The two had initially met way back in 2000, after the pugilist dipped his toes into the music industry. He reportedly saw Corretjer -- a singer and actress -- in a music video, and got in contact with her about being in one of his own productions.
A short time later, the two fell in love -- and married in October 2001.
They went on to have three kids -- one son and two daughters -- before they went their separate ways in '16.

It's unclear what prompted the filing this week ... De La Hoya has dated others over the years, including most recently Holly Sonders -- who he famously got a red Ferrari for during Valentine's Day last year.
