New FanGraphs T-Shirts and Apparel!
Recently, we started running out of t-shirts. As such, we thought it was high time to design some new ones. And design them we did. But we didn’t just stop at t-shirts. Oh no, constant reader, we went the extra mile this time. In addition to t-shirts, which now are available in both men’s and women’s sizes, we now have raglan t-shirts (again, both men’s and woman’s kinds), zip hoodie sweatshirts, baby onesies and hats. You might think of this as the holiday season come many months earlier than normal. And you’d be right.
The person we have to thank for all of this shiny new garb is Aaron Gershman of Creative Sentencing, who you should absolutely hire for your next design project.
Let’s take a look at the designs, which are available for purchase at this very moment.
The men’s t-shirt is a Canvas jersey t-shirt, and it comes in athletic heather. I’d include a picture of the back, but there’s nothing on the back. That’s a theme — these designs are minimalistic in nature. We hope you’re into that sort of thing.
The women’s t-shirt, you’ll notice, is the exact same design. This t-shirt, however, is not Canvas, but rather an LAT Ladies Longer Length Jersey t-shirt. The color is heather.
This Canvas Lightweight Baseball Raglan is the shirt that you never knew you needed for your beer and/or hardball league games. Why not buy one for everyone on your team? You can be Team FanGraphs! The shirt colors here are deep heather and black.
This LAT Ladies Baseball Raglan is the shirt that you never knew you needed for your beer and/or hardball league games. Why not buy one for everyone on your team? You can be Team FanGraphs! The shirt colors here are vintage heather and vintage smoke.
This one might just be my favorite. The Canvas 60/40 Zip Hoodie in dark grey heather is a touch different than the others, as the player in the FanGraphs logo is in white — the black player just didn’t show up against this background. Also, the white player really pops with the white zipper, if I do say so myself.
The coup de grâce — the first-ever FanGraphs hat! This New Era hat is a flatbill snapback, and it comes in charcoal.
Will there be more merchandise in FanGraphs’ future? Who knows? If there’s something you’d like to buy with our logo emblazoned on it, let us know in the comments. Merchandising is, after all, where the real money is made.

Awesome! Definitely going to have to grab those shirts. And you guys need to have some beer and coffee mugs!
Agree about the mugs.
