This personalized custom lineman shirt reads like his own crew shirt: LINEMAN repeated four times in antique gold, his photo standing right in front of it in black and white, his name in white script and EST. with the year he topped out.
A photo dad shirt for the guy who climbs poles for a living.
Setting up his lineman shirt
- Choose a style and size: tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie.
- Pick his shirt color.
- Upload his photo, then type his name and year in the two boxes. Our sample lineman is replaced by your picture.
- Check out. Completed example: a storm-season selfie in his hard hat, name Travis, year 2016.
A lineman shirt with him in it, not a logo
- Lineworker Appreciation Day often passes with nothing more than a social post
- Company shirts carry the logo, not the man in the bucket
- He already owns every tool and thermos worth buying
Linemen are proud of the trade, and they’d rather see their own face than a utility logo. His photo in hard hat and harness stands in front of LINEMAN repeated four times in antique gold, with his name in white script and the year he topped out.
A jobsite photo, a picture from his lineworker graduation or an old shot from his first year all work. Older photos give it a custom vintage photo feel.
Where you can, crop around any utility logos on the truck or his hard hat, because we don’t print company or brand marks.
What it looks like up close
The sample lineman wears a white hard hat and a big grin, arms folded, climbing harness across his chest and a tool belt loaded with hardware. Four rows of LINEMAN in gold capitals fill the space behind him. Cody runs across in white script, and EST.
2012 runs in small, widely spaced type at the base. Nothing is outlined, so it has the flat, worn look of a retro dad shirt.
Who buys lineman gifts like this?
His wife usually orders it after another storm season of sixteen-hour days, when the thermos and the work gloves have already been done. She wants a shirt with him in it, hard hat and all, that reads like his own crew tee.
Getting it ready for Lineworker Appreciation Day in April means he opens something with his own face after the storm calls.
They think Dad has the coolest job on the block, so a Father’s Day tee with him in his gear proves it.
You’d rather skip another grill tool before June, and a cool dad shirt with his year on it gets worn on weekends.
The year he finishes his training and tops out is a big one, which makes his photo and EST. year the right keepsake.
Thanking the guys who worked the last big storm works because each shirt carries that lineman’s own photo and name.
He likes his own mug better than any company tee, and the hoodie keeps him warm on early calls.

Lineman shirt FAQ
What year should I use for EST.?
Most people pick the year he topped out or joined the trade. His birth year or wedding year works too; we print whatever four digits you enter.
Can I send a photo where he’s up on the pole?
Yes, as long as his face is clear and not tiny in the frame. Closer shots print with more detail.
Can the utility company or union logo be included?
No. We leave off logos, brands, utility names, union marks and characters, and we never print celebrities, rappers, athletes or anyone famous. Your own photos only; an order with any of that is canceled and your money returned.
