Shirts for Nerds & Science Fans

Proud to Be a Nerd

Being called a nerd used to be an insult. Now it's a badge of honor. Our nerd and science designs are for curious minds who get excited about evolution, outer space, chemistry, the human brain or the absurdities of life glued to a smartphone. They mix real knowledge with real humor and are made for students, researchers, tinkerers, amateur astronomers and anyone who gets more hyped about a good documentary than a thriller.

A great nerd shirt only works when the joke is actually correct, and that's something we care about. If you're shopping for someone in science, think about their favorite field, because a biologist laughs at different jokes than a physicist. For students who've just discovered a subject they love, the right design can be a fun bit of encouragement. Dark shirts are perfect for space designs, while lighter ones suit formulas and sketches. Graduations, a first published paper or just a birthday are all great occasions. And in the lab, the lecture hall or at a desk, a nerdy mug becomes a daily conversation starter.
