Shawn Thornton said Tuesday that he was proud of his team for keeping the genesis of the story a mystery.

Fans were able to buy the sweatshirts with proceeds going to both the team's charity and the actor's.

The phenomenon piqued when Spacey actually showed up at a Panthers game to support the team.

Thornton said there will be a new tradition that the team will start next year.

But the mystery behind the sweatshirt is still unknown.
