LA Basketball Fan Gift For Boyfriend Son Purple Gold Shirt

A Basketball Icon Stacked Over Bold Block Letters

Rec league sidelines and living rooms with the game on are full of the same joke this design is built around, the guy cheering loudest in the crowd already has a title bigger than fan. The LA Basketball Fan Gift For Boyfriend Son Purple Gold Shirt turns that into a graphic tee, printed for men who get called Dad first and biggest fan second, meant for game day or any afternoon during NBA season when the family wants to rep their favorite Los Angeles team without buying an actual jersey.

A small basketball icon sits above the text, kept simple enough that it doesn’t compete with what comes under it. My Favorite Player Calls Me Dad runs across three lines with DAD scaled up far past the other words, thick block letters taking up nearly half the print, so the joke reads before anyone gets close enough to catch the smaller line above it. A tiny bear tucked beside the last letter breaks up that block of oversized type and gives the layout more personality than a plain text stack usually has.

We built this one for boyfriends and sons who already answer to Dad on the sideline of a rec league game or in front of the television during an LA playoff run, since that’s the joke the whole design leans on. Teebete put a good amount of the print into that oversized DAD, a choice that sets a shirt like this apart from standard basketball fan apparel that just slaps a logo on the chest and calls it finished. Some fans want their gear to say something about their family before it says anything about the standings, and this one does that instead of repeating a team logo.

It works as a basketball gift for boyfriend picked out before a first Father’s Day together, and just as well as a basketball dad shirt for son from a kid who’s been begging to go to a game since before he could dribble. Downtown LA crowds turn out in team colors for every home game, and a shirt built around a Dad joke gives someone a reason to wear those colors that has nothing to do with box scores.

Game Day And Father’s Day Both Fit This Shirt

Sunday afternoons with the game on, a Father’s Day morning, a birthday for a dad who never misses a broadcast, all of it fits the same shirt without needing a different design for each occasion. The next home game on the schedule is as good a reason as any to have it folded in his closet before then.
