2 designs of the same line, so you can pick the artwork rather than settle for the first one you find.
The plain version — no subject or grade named, so it works whether they teach kindergarten or chemistry.
Cut for women and the cheapest design on this page. School-themed artwork, so it reads as staff-room wear rather than a night-out shirt.
Trade and profession shirts are specific on purpose. Someone who says they are a teacher will not accept a near-miss title, and the closely related jobs each have their own version — that precision is the whole point of the joke.
The 2 designs here all name the same job, so pick on how loud the artwork is. Anything worn to work should read cleanly at a glance rather than crowd the chest with a second punchline.
Best for someone a few years into the work — long enough that the job has its own vocabulary and its own complaints. For a new starter it can read as presumptuous, and for someone who has left the trade it reads as nostalgia rather than a joke.
A teacher’s shirt is read all day by thirty people who will comment on it, so legibility and tone matter more here than in almost any other job. Nothing that needs explaining twice.
Staff-room shirts are also a shared language. The audience that actually matters is the other teachers, not the class.
Term-time laundry is relentless, so this is a wear-it-out purchase rather than a keep-it-nice one.
The wording only works when it names the exact job, so it is worth checking before you buy. Trainer, Trucker and Urologist each have their own page with their own designs, and there are more below.
