What does the shirt say?

This shirt from Graphic Tees Co. says I ALWAYS GET in heavy maroon capitals above a gold trophy with a wishbone in it, and THE BIGGER HALF. below in dark brown. The joke is the solemn trophy for the silliest contest of the year: the after-dinner wishbone pull, won every time by the guy who picks his end.

Is there a sweatshirt with the same print?

Yes. The I Always Get the Bigger Half crewneck sweatshirt carries the same trophy and the same lettering on 8 oz fleece. Wear the tee for the backyard football game before dinner and the sweatshirt for the cold walk to the table, so the family champion has a set for the whole holiday weekend.

Why are there no dark colors?

The maroon and dark brown lettering and warm trophy linework would disappear on dark fabric, so we only offer light and mid colors: White, Natural, Ash, Athletic Heather, Heather Dust and Tan. Each color has its own photo on this page, so you can check how the trophy and both lines of lettering look on the one you pick.

How does the tee fit?

It is a classic unisex cut in sizes S through 4XL, made of lightweight 4.2 oz cotton. Order your usual size for a regular fit, or size up for a looser one. If the size is not right, we do one free size exchange within 30 days of delivery.

When do I need to order for Thanksgiving?

Order by about November 12 so it arrives before Thanksgiving. Graphic Tees Co. prints each tee to order, which takes a few business days, then ships within the US. Orders of $45 or more ship free, and a misprint or damaged item is reprinted or refunded within 30 days.

How do I wash this graphic tee?

Inside out, cold water, gentle cycle. Skip bleach and fabric softener, then hang dry or tumble dry low. Never iron directly on the print.

Wishbone Shirt – I Always Get the Bigger Half Tee

The story+

He always gets the bigger half, and he will not say how. This wishbone shirt is for the uncle who treats the after-dinner wishbone pull like a title fight, and the Thanksgiving table is his arena.

The art is a vintage 1950s sports poster trophy: a polished gold two-handled cup with a slim cream turkey wishbone standing up out of it, autumn oak leaves and two acorns at the base, with I ALWAYS GET above it in heavy maroon capitals and THE BIGGER HALF. stacked below in dark brown.

Wear it to the family dinner, the Friendsgiving or the backyard football game before it, and bring a wishbone for the rematch. As a trophy of a shirt it is an easy gift for the competitive uncle. Original art, made for Graphic Tees Co. and printed the day you order it.
