The story+
Polite smile, personal vendetta: this pickleball shirt is for the mom, aunt or Mimi who plays every morning, compliments your dink and then takes the point, worn to open play, the club tournament and Saturday brunch.
The print shows a serene 1960s lady in a sun visor, pearls and a striped sweater over a pleated skirt, eyes closed and smiling, mid-swing with a wooden paddle as a pickleball streaks past. POLITE SMILE. runs above in navy and PERSONAL VENDETTA. below in brick red, both in heavy slab capitals at full width, on a dark-ink file that reads on White, Natural, Heather Stone, Athletic Heather and Pink.
Wear it to the court or give it to the friend whose dink game is gentle and whose smash is not. Original art, made for Graphic Tees Co. and printed the day you order it.

Questions+
- What is the Polite Smile, Personal Vendetta pickleball shirt?
- It is a women's relaxed tee from Graphic Tees Co. with a vintage country-club lady smashing a pickleball, lettered POLITE SMILE. PERSONAL VENDETTA. It is printed on a Bella+Canvas 6400 in 4.2 oz cotton, so it stays light and soft on a warm court.
- How does the women's relaxed tee fit?
- This Graphic Tees Co. tee is a relaxed women's cut in sizes S through 3XL with side seams and a crew neck. Order your usual size for an easy fit or size up for a looser, oversized look. If the size is off, the first exchange is free.
- What is it made of and how do I wash it?
- The tee is 100% combed, ring-spun cotton, with heather colors blending in some polyester, at a lightweight 4.2 oz. Wash it inside out in cold water with like colors and tumble dry low. That protects the print from fading, so the navy and red inks stay crisp wash after wash.
- Is it a good pickleball gift for women?
- Yes. It suits the mom, aunt, Mimi or teammate who plays most mornings and keeps a straight face while she wins. It ships from Graphic Tees Co. in a standard tee box, is easy to size with a free exchange, and costs $24.99, so it works for birthdays and club prizes.
- Can I get it by Christmas?
- Order by about December 8 and your Graphic Tees Co. pickleball tee should arrive before Christmas. Each shirt is printed the day you order it, so ship times vary a little by location. Orders over $45 ship free, and the free size exchange covers a wrong guess.
- 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.
