A bus driver shirt with the face every kid on the route knows
This personalized custom bus driver shirt prints your driver’s own photo in black and white, with BUS DRIVER in white across the top and the name the kids use underneath.
It’s made as a tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie, and it says thank you louder than a card on the dashboard.
Our sample is a driver in a ball cap leaning out of the bus door, one hand up, while four or five kids wave from the windows behind him. The name line reads MR. LEE.
Swap in your driver’s picture and route name, like Miss Pam or Mr. Ortiz. Short names look best because the letters get big.
Who sends one?
Most often it’s a PTA mom pooling money for bus driver appreciation, or the kids on the route chipping in for the driver who waves every morning. A card on the dashboard feels too small for someone who gets their kids to school all year.
Since the whole route chips in, the driver gets one gift from every family instead of a stack of cards.
They wave at that face every morning, so seeing it on a shirt makes the thank-you feel like theirs.
Each driver gets their own photo and name, which means the whole depot matches without anyone wearing a logo.
If Dad loves the job, a shirt with his route name shows the family is proud of it too.
When Grandpa is the one behind the wheel every morning, his grandkid gets to be the proudest rider on the route.
After decades on one route, a shirt with that wave and name makes the last day easier to celebrate.
How do I order the custom name tee?
- Choose the driver’s garment and size.
- Pick a shirt color. White letters stand out on darker shades.
- Upload the driver’s photo.
- Type the name line. Exactly as it should print.
- Check out. Example: MS. RIVERA. The Mr. Lee sample is replaced with your driver, and MS. RIVERA prints under the photo.
A thank-you with the face every kid on the route knows
- Bus drivers get left out when the teacher gifts go around
- A card on the dashboard gets read once and tucked in the visor
- Staff shirts usually show a school logo, not the driver
The kids on a route know their driver’s wave as well as they know their own front door. Your driver’s photo in black and white with BUS DRIVER in white across the top and the name the kids use, like Miss Pam, in big letters underneath.
Fabric and fit for early routes
The Comfort Colors 1717 tee is garment-dyed, 6.1 oz, made of 100% ring-spun cotton, relaxed and unisex in S–4XL.
Cold 6 a.m. pickups call for the Comfort Colors 1566 crewneck sweatshirt, 80% cotton and 20% polyester fleece in S–3XL, or the Comfort Colors 1567 hoodie with a jersey-lined hood, drawcord and pouch pocket in S–2XL.
True size fits relaxed; one or two up reads oversized. Not sure of the driver’s size? Compare a shirt they wear against the size guide.
Sleeves but no hood? The Comfort Colors 6014 long sleeve comes in S–3XL. Student riders and the driver’s own kids can wear the same face on the Comfort Colors 9018 youth tee, XS–XL, or the Rabbit Skins 3326 toddler hoodie, 2T–5/6T.

Timing for appreciation week
Printing takes 1 to 3 business days in the USA, and USPS delivers in 3 to 5 business days with tracking, so most orders arrive within 4 to 8 business days.
There’s no guaranteed delivery date, so order a couple of weeks before the last day of school. Group orders over $75 ship free in the US. Read the shipping details.
Can the bus number go on the shirt?
The layout prints BUS DRIVER on top and one name line below. If the number matters, you can add it to that line, like MR. LEE #14, but shorter lines print bigger, so keep it brief.
Can a whole school order one for each driver?
Yes. Each driver needs a separate cart item with their own photo and name. Add them one by one before checkout, and the order ships together.
A student wants a favorite cartoon on it. Can we add that?
No. The bus driver design prints only your photo and text, so cartoon characters, district or team marks, logos and brand names are left off, and we don’t print celebrities, rappers or other famous faces. A bus driver order with that content is canceled and refunded in full.
