Teacher Shirts
Comfort Colors teacher shirts, from funny to sincere: the Silly Goose “silly teachers build character” tee, plus Pre-K, daycare and music teacher designs. Soft garment-dyed cotton, printed to order in the USA.
Teacher shirts that survive a school day
A teacher shirt has a harder life than most. It goes through paint, glue sticks, recess duty, a field trip and a spirit week, then gets washed and does it again. That is why every shirt here is printed on Comfort Colors garment-dyed cotton: it starts soft, gets softer, and has a relaxed fit that works for a day spent standing, crouching and sitting on small chairs.
Funny teacher shirts, or a shirt that names the job
Two kinds of design live in this collection.
-
Funny teacher shirts. The Silly Goose tee, four geese dressed for school above “silly teachers build character.” Affectionate rather than sarcastic, which matters when you wear it in front of a class.
-
“Is My Jam” designs. Jam jars labeled with the real parts of a specific job, for Pre-K, daycare and music teachers. The gift that shows someone noticed what the work actually involves.

Sizing and fit
Comfort Colors run relaxed rather than fitted. Take your usual size for a standard fit, or size up one for an oversized look. Each shirt is printed to order, so check the size chart on the product page before ordering.
Matching shirts for a grade level
Spirit weeks and field trips are when teams order together. Collect sizes first, allow two weeks, and email contact@talluladesignco.com for group quantities.
When to buy
Back to school in August and September is the busiest season for teacher shirts, followed by the holidays in December and Teacher Appreciation Week in early May.
Frequently asked questions
What are good funny teacher shirts?
Ones that are funny without being sarcastic. A teacher wears it in front of children and their parents, so affectionate humor like the Silly Goose tee works better than an inside joke about burnout.
Do Comfort Colors shirts run big?
They run relaxed. Most people take their usual size and size up one for an oversized fit.
Is a shirt a good gift for a teacher?
Yes, if you know their size. If you do not, a tote from the same design is the safer choice.

One to four business days to produce, plus two to five in transit.
