He’ll say it’s too much, then wear it every Sunday. This best papa ever shirt is a personalized custom 90s bootleg tee with BEST PAPA in big chrome letters, Ever in script underneath and a collage of your photos of him with the grandkids.
On the shirt
Every version starts from your photos. Our sample grandpas have gray beards and ball caps; they fish off a lake dock with the grandkids, help stir a mixing bowl, read a picture book in the recliner and get tackled in a group hug.
A lightning glow wraps the whole collage. Colorways pictured include pink-magenta, copper, orange-gold fire, mint and royal blue, and ten more sit on the chart.
The BEST PAPA Ever lettering prints as shown, so your only choices are colors and photos. That makes it one of the simpler papa gifts from grandchildren to put together.
What does the family need to do?
- Choose Papa’s garment, a tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie, and his size.
- Choose the colors: shirt color first, then one numbered design colorway.
- Upload 3 to 8 photos of Papa with the grandkids. Old ones and new ones mix well, and they replace the sample grandpa.
- Head to checkout. No name to type on this one.
Proof he’s the best papa, in photos
- Grandpa gifts are always tackle, socks or another coffee mug
- Photos of Papa with the grandkids stay on Grandma’s phone
- World’s best grandpa slogans don’t show the actual grandkids
Grandpas brag about the grandkids more than anything, they just don’t always say it loud. BEST PAPA Ever in chrome tops a lightning-framed collage of him with the grandkids, dock fishing and recliner stories, so the shirt brags for him.
Example: orange-gold fire colorway 5 on a crewneck, with the dock fishing photo in the center and a recliner story, a baking mess and two group hugs around it.
Who should get the Best Papa Ever shirt?
Usually it’s grandkids, with a parent’s help, shopping for a papa who has enough fishing lures and more socks than he’ll ever wear. He’s in the dock-fishing photos and the recliner story-time photos, and nobody’s ever put them on anything he wears.
The kids can each pick a photo and sign the card in crayon, which turns the gift into a group project he’ll love.
His first Christmas as Papa comes with fresh newborn photos, so the collage marks the year his title changed.
She has the best pictures of him with the grandkids, and a crewneck finally puts them somewhere other than her phone.
Since he’s been saying it for years, a shirt with BEST PAPA Ever and the photos to back it up settles it.
Instead of another tie, he gets a hoodie with real faces on it for porch mornings.
Fabric and fit
The Comfort Colors 1717 tee is 6.1 oz garment-dyed ring-spun cotton, relaxed unisex, S–4XL. For porch mornings, the 1566 crewneck sweatshirt (S–3XL) and 1567 hoodie (S–2XL) are 80/20 fleece, and the hoodie has a jersey-lined hood, matching drawcord and pouch pocket.
His usual size gives a relaxed fit in the tee and fleece; one or two sizes up feels oversized. See measurements on our size guide.

Straight answers
Can it say Grandpa or Pop instead of Papa?
This design prints BEST PAPA Ever exactly as shown. Browse our grandparent shirts for other wording.
Can you print his favorite team logo or a famous fisherman?
No. Team and league marks, logos, brands and characters aren’t printed, and neither are celebrities, athletes, rappers or public figures. Stick to pictures from your own family albums or ones you have permission for; otherwise we cancel and refund.
How many grandkids can be in it?
As many as your photos hold. Group shots fit lots of faces, and solo shots of each kid fill the outer spots.
