It's a Hockey Thing You Wouldn't Understand

2 designs of the same line, so you can pick the artwork rather than settle for the first one you find.

Which one to pick

Sport designs get worn to the thing itself, so legibility across a pitch or a rink matters more than detail. Of the 2 here, the plainer layouts survive that distance better.

Check the version before buying: several sports share a name across countries, and the design will assume one of them.

Who it is for

Aimed at people whose weekends are already organised around hockey — the early starts and the equipment nobody else in the house understands. It does not work as an introduction to the sport.

Which hockey depends where you are

Ice, field and roller hockey all claim the word depending on the country, so the first question is which one, and it is not a silly question.

The early mornings are the part that defines it. Ice time is when the rink is free, and that is often before dawn.

The equipment bag has a smell that is a running joke in every household with a player.

Sizing and ordering

  • Unisex tees run true to size — size up one for a relaxed fit.
  • Allow two to three weeks. Each shirt is printed after you order, so production time comes before shipping time.
  • Checkout happens on the print partner's site — Senprints handles printing, payment and delivery.

If it is not quite the right sport

The wording only works when it names the exact sport, so it is worth checking before you buy. Horse Racing, Karate and Mini Golf each have their own page with their own designs, and there are more below.
