Cool Pickle Pickleball T-Shirt

The Cool Pickle funny pickleball shirt features a cartoon pickle in dark sunglasses and a red headband, paddle over one shoulder and a pickleball in the air.

What the design means

He is the player who shows up late, warms up for 30 seconds and still wins. Pickleball players have long adopted the pickle as the game's mascot, and this one has all the confidence the rest of us wish we had on the court.

Who it's for

Give it to the laid back friend who never looks stressed, a teen or college kid who just got into the game, or anyone who likes a fun graphic over words. More choices are in funny pickleball shirts.

Fit and fabric

This is a Bella+Canvas 3001 unisex tee, a soft, lightweight shirt made for everyday wear. The solid colors, Natural and White, are 100% combed and ring-spun cotton. The heather colors, Athletic Heather and Heather Prism Dusty Blue, are cotton and polyester blends that feel a little softer and drape a bit more. The fabric is 4.2 oz and pre-shrunk, with side seams and shoulder-to-shoulder taping so it keeps its shape. It is a casual tee, not performance wear: great for the drive to the courts, the coffee after and the rest of the week. Light colors can be a little sheer.

Sizes run from XS to 4XL in a unisex fit that sits like a classic crew neck tee.

XS to XL are $27, 2XL is $29, 3XL is $31 and 4XL is $33.

FAQ

Can I play pickleball in this shirt?

Yes, plenty of people play rec games in a cotton tee. It is not a moisture-wicking performance shirt, though, so on a hot day it will hold sweat like any cotton shirt.
