Citlaly Gutierrez 77 Texas Longhorns Softball Player Vintage Fan Shirt

Bootleg-Style Fan Prints Are Showing Up All Over Longhorns Softball Games

Walk through the parking lot before a game at McCombs Field and you’ll notice more of these vintage poster shirts than plain jersey number tees. Citlaly Gutierrez 77 Texas Longhorns softball vintage fan tee puts a bootleg-poster treatment on a player Austin crowds have watched move up through the lineup, made for softball supporters who want something besides a standard roster shirt on game day. The style caught on fast. It started on old tour merch tables years back and slowly worked its way into college softball fandom.

How The Design Actually Lays Out Her Name And Number

Three photos of Gutierrez sit stacked close together instead of spread out in a single line, so the eye moves through all three before settling on the orange #77 tucked into the lower right corner. Her last name runs in bold outlined letters across the bottom, large enough to read from a few rows back in the bleachers, while her first name arches overhead in a smaller, faded treatment that gives the print some depth instead of looking flat. Nothing about it sits centered by default. That kind of layering is usually missing from mass printed fan shirts, which tend to center one photo and call it done.

Where This Kind Of Shirt Actually Gets Worn

Some fans wear this to weekend tournaments, others save it for senior day or a Sunday doubleheader against a Big 12 rival. Either way it works as a gift for a Longhorns softball fan who already owns the standard team colors and wants a vintage-style player tee instead. It also fits people shopping for a softball season gift for a niece, teammate, or classmate who follows Gutierrez specifically rather than the program as a whole.

We put this one together at Teebete the same way we build most of our player prints, laying out the photos first and fitting the typography into whatever space is left, which is part of why the name treatment ended up wrapping the way it does instead of sitting in a straight banner.

For anyone who keeps track of which softball player shirts actually show effort in the print instead of just slapping a number on a blank tee, this one lines up with that list.
