This personalized custom class of 2027 cap and gown tee puts your senior’s tiny graduation picture between CLASS OF and 2027 in oversized white serif type. It is the then-and-now joke, worn on the big day.
What the class of 2027 cap and gown tee looks like
A preschool or kindergarten cap and gown photo is the best match. Our sample shows a girl of about six waving at the camera in a little cap and gown, a rolled diploma in her other hand.
Yours takes her place, turned to black and white. The year and the lettering are already printed, so nothing needs typing.
Many of these old pictures show a cap that kept sliding down and a gown dragging past the sneakers. Printed large on the front, that small ceremony lines up beside the real one.
Families usually order in one of two ways. A parent adds a tee for the senior and one for each grandparent. A friend group orders several, each with a different early picture, so no two look alike on graduation day.
How do I order it?
- Pick the type and size.
- Choose the shirt color.
- Upload one cap-and-gown or first-day picture.
- Review the mockup, then check out. Finished example: a preschool graduation snapshot, waist-up, diploma in hand.
Their first cap and gown, again
- Graduation photos all look the same on the lawn
- Senior presents rarely use the old pictures
- The tiny cap and gown photo stays in a box
Two graduations, a dozen years apart, make the best then-and-now photo of the whole family. The tiny cap-and-gown picture sits between CLASS OF and 2027 in oversized white serif type, so the joke needs no explaining.
No cap photo? A first-day-of-school shot or a birthday picture works too. Waist-up or full body is ideal, in everyday clothes or a gown.
Check that the face is sharp, because fuzzy faces stay fuzzy when enlarged.
Pool, bath, leotard and pajama pictures can’t be used.
Days it gets worn
A cap that kept sliding off and a gown that reached their sneakers are still somewhere in the family photos. Parents order this to put that picture beside the real ceremony. Grandparents often send in the photo themselves.
The old photo is already in a box, so they only have to upload it and the shirt does the then-and-now joke.
Wearing it under the real gown gives the photographers something to ask about, which means the old picture gets its second ceremony.
They kept the preschool graduation snapshot, so sending it in turns it into a shirt the whole family sees at the party.
Each friend uses a different early picture, so no two shirts match and every one starts a story.
