Miami Dolphins Christmas Gnome Shirt

The dolphin leaps out of the orange sun ring with a football helmet on, and the M on that helmet sits near the top of the print, where the eye lands first. Miami Dolphins Christmas Gnome Shirt is the name of this graphic tee, made for NFL fans who want a holiday shirt that still reads as Dolphins football on a December Sunday. Below the mascot, three gnomes stand shoulder to shoulder on a strip of snow, and their pointed hats overlap the bottom edge of the sun ring so the two scenes share one composition. Small snowflakes drift around the dolphin’s fin and snout. They fill the upper half without crowding the gnomes.

Three gnomes, three hats, one Miami Dolphins Christmas shirt

Each gnome gets its own hat: a plain teal cap on the left, a spotted teal pattern in the middle, and a buffalo plaid on the right. The left gnome hugs a wrapped gift with a red bow, and the middle one holds a takeout coffee cup. The third keeps its hands tucked away. Round pink noses poke out from thick white beards, and a string of small lights hangs beneath the snow, right above the chunky teal DOLPHINS lettering. Standard team tees usually stop at a logo and a wordmark, so a coffee-drinking gnome trio makes a lighter alternative to typical NFL fan apparel.

The scene suits a home game day at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, or a couch seat anywhere in South Florida when the AFC East schedule lands on a holiday weekend. It also works at a Christmas Eve watch party, where a printed Miami Dolphins Christmas shirt stands in for the usual ugly sweater in Miami’s warm December weather. The dolphin leads.

Our team at Teebete kept the three hat patterns different from one another, so each gnome reads as its own character even from across a tailgate lot. The plaid hat on the right is the easiest to spot, while the spotted one in the middle adds texture right under the mascot’s tail. This is a Dolphins fan gift for the person who already owns the standard jersey and wants something with a sense of humor.

A Dolphins gift for the fan on your Christmas list

Some fans will go straight for the coffee gnome, and others will claim the one holding the present, which makes this NFL Christmas graphic tee easy to wrap up for anyone who follows the Dolphins through the winter stretch of the season. The wrapped gift in the left gnome’s arms is a fitting detail for the shirt that ends up under the tree.
