This isn't just a t-shirt; it's a piece of viral internet history and a symbol of kindness. In 2019, a young Florida boy was bullied for wearing his own hand-drawn University of Tennessee shirt to school. His story went viral, and the university officially adopted his heartfelt design, turning a moment of sadness into an incredible, uplifting movement against bullying. This shirt is a direct result of that amazing story, featuring the now-iconic, childlike "U.T." logo that captured the hearts of millions.

The graphic is a faithful reproduction of the original hand-drawn design, screen-printed in crisp white on a vibrant, unmistakable Tennessee orange. It’s a powerful statement piece that carries a beautiful message. More than just fan gear, it represents community, support, and the power of a simple, creative idea. For any Vols fan or collector of unique cultural artifacts, this shirt is a must-have.

Made from a soft, comfortable modern cotton or cotton blend, this shirt feels great from the first wear. It's in excellent condition with no signs of fading, cracking, or wear, ready to be a standout piece in your collection. Owning this tee means you're not just wearing a logo; you're wearing a story of resilience and positivity that will spark conversations wherever you go.

Find Your Fit

Vintage sizing is all over the place. A "Large" from the 80s fits way different than one from today, and years of washing and wearing can change a shirt's shape. That's why we ignore the original tag and hand-measure every single shirt we sell.

Want to be sure? The best way is to compare our measurements to a favorite t-shirt you already own. Our Vintage T-Shirt Sizing Guide shows you exactly how.
