The story+
I blunder with confidence: a chess shirt for the player who slams a piece down with a grin while his own king is already on the floor, made for the club night, the coffee-shop board and the family game that ends in a loud "I meant to do that."
The print is a 1950s game-box illustration of a smug man in horn-rimmed glasses and a striped red, navy and mustard cardigan, chin on his fist and a red chess piece under it, with a cracked checkerboard in front of him and a toppled red king sliding off the corner. I BLUNDER runs across the top in heavy slab capitals and WITH CONFIDENCE. closes the line along the bottom.
Wear it to the club, the park tables or the holiday tournament in the living room, or give it to the friend who has never once admitted a bad move. Original art, made for Graphic Tees Co. and printed the day you order it.
