The best dad ever shirt is a personalized custom tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie that repeats BEST DAD EVER four times in antique gold, sets a cutout of your child right on top, and signs the kid’s name in white script in the corner.
It makes the title official, with the kid front and center.
How the cutout works
We trim around your child so they stand in front of the gold lettering with no box behind them. The sample kid, Caleb, looks about five, wearing tiny sunglasses and a denim jacket with his arms crossed like he owns the place.
Waist-up photos against a plain background give the cleanest edge, though most phone pictures work fine.
The photo prints in black and white so the gold stays the star, and the white script name sits at the lower right.
What do I type for the name?
Type your child’s name exactly as you want it. The script copies your spelling and capitals.
- Choose a tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie and a size.
- Select the shirt color. Gold looks rich on dark colors.
- Upload one photo of your child. It replaces the sample boy.
- Enter the name. Example: Owen. Two kids? Type Owen & Mia and send a photo with both.
Let the kids make the title official
- Best Dad mugs from the store say what every other mug says
- Kids feel left out when Mom picks the gift on her own
- Dad presents from the kids keep turning out to be socks
Dads value what the kids picked out themselves, even when they guessed it three weeks early. BEST DAD EVER repeats four times in antique gold behind a cutout of your kid, with their name signed in white script, so the child is literally standing in front of the title.
Who gets this one
Most orders come from a mom helping the kids put together a Father’s Day present, usually with one kid who has already told Dad what it is. The kids want their own face on it, which makes it their gift and not hers.
They’ll tell him before Father’s Day, which is fine, because the cutout of their face still gets a laugh when he opens it.
Use a photo of the grandkids and type their names, since he earned the title long before they came along.
Pick the picture where the kid looks most like him, and the birthday gift doubles as a family joke.
The baby’s first photo and name in script work right away, which means he holds the title before he’s changed many diapers.
If he drives carpool, coaches the team and still makes the recital, the tee comes along to all three.

Best dad ever shirt FAQ
Can the photo be of three kids?
Yes, if they’re close together. Type all three names, keeping them short so the script stays readable.
What photo of my child works best?
A clear waist-up photo in everyday clothes against a simple background. Swimsuit and bath-time pictures of children are never printed.
Are there images you won’t put on the shirt?
No celebrities, rappers or athletes, and no logos, brand names, team marks or characters. Please send your own photo. Orders that don’t fit this rule are canceled and refunded.
