The sweatshirt, worn by character Dustin Henderson on the Oct. 27 episode, was from the museum's store in the early 1980s, a news release said.

Ramsden said customers will get through, but it'll take some time.

Customers on the website are being greeted with a message saying: "While we have an unlimited volume of apparel available online, due to high volume our online store has crashed."

The museum will also be selling T-shirts and crewnecks. Prices range from $15-$40.
