New York Jets Grinch And Elf Holiday Shirt

Late in the year, football season and holiday season run into each other, and plenty of Jets fans end up pulling on whatever team gear is clean. Among Christmas-themed NFL fan tees, the New York Jets Grinch and Elf Holiday Shirt suits Jets supporters who want one outfit for both a tailgate and a holiday party. The Grinch stands turned away from the viewer with his hands on his hips, wearing a green Santa hat with a white pom-pom and curled elf shoes trimmed in white fur. A Jets helmet with a white facemask rests beside his hip, and its logo stays readable even at that small size.

How the Jets Grinch graphic is laid out

The character takes up the left half of the print and the lettering stacks on the right, so the eye travels from the hat down to the shoes and then across to the words. “If you Don’t Like” is set in loose white script, which leads straight down into a large green block-letter JETS. “Merry Kissmyass” closes the line in mixed white and green script, and its second word picks up the same green as the team name. Nothing here is subtle. Next to a standard Jets logo tee, this New York Jets Christmas shirt carries a joke that reads from across a parking lot.

For people who enjoy both football grumbling and Christmas cheer, the Grinch makes an easy spokesman. The elf shoes help too, because they add a second holiday cue at the bottom of the artwork, so the design still says Christmas when the helmet is out of view. Many longtime fans already own a drawer of plain green tees, and this one sits in a different category from those.

Wearing a Jets holiday tee from MetLife to the living room

We built this design at Teebete around the idea that a Christmas-week game should not need its own outfit, so the JETS lettering is kept big enough to read across a tailgate lot near MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. It also suits a holiday weekend on the couch, a family gift exchange, or an ugly-sweater party where a New York football fan wants more attitude than a plain seasonal tee. As a Jets tailgate shirt, it handles the cold-weather Sundays that fall between Thanksgiving and New Year’s.

For a brother or cousin who already owns every plain Jets tee, the Grinch in his green Santa hat makes a Jets fan holiday gift that gets a laugh before the wrapping paper is off.
