About BONZi Shirts

BONZi SHIRTS (pronounced "BAHN-zee," not like the tree) designs topical and progressive t-shirts for people who follow what's going on in the world, and aren't afraid to make a joke about it.

Our mission is simple: stand up for what we believe is right, and share those messages with people who feel the same way. We hope you find something you love.

Our History

From the beginning, we joked that we were "designing shirts you don't need, with jokes you (probably) don't get." It's a bit, but it's not far off — a lot of our designs are built around pretty niche references.

The whole thing started in 2015 with an inside joke that turned into a run of hand-made, iron-on decal shirts. The first one, Just Me And The Boys Doin' Brunch Stuff, debuted at a boozy Chicago brunch with five guys wearing it.

From there, it showed up at Michigan Avenue stores and bar-crawled through Boystown, mostly confusing people but always sparking a conversation.

That shirt turned into what BONZi Shirts is today. We've come a long way from Walmart t-shirts and iron-on decals, and after years of selling across different online marketplaces, we're excited to now run our own site.

How We Operate Today

Every BONZi shirt is designed here in Colorado and printed on demand in the USA, so nothing sits around in a warehouse before it ships to you. Free shipping kicks in on orders of $49 or more (about the price of two shirts), and we offer free returns, forever — any reason, any condition, any time.
