A humorous tee with a playful twist on the classic 'be yourself' quote, celebrating the appeal of being a hawk instead.
The story behind this design
This tee plays with an inspiring message in a tongue-in-cheek way. A white banner ribbon stretches across the chest, delivering the first part of the quote in clean, hand-lettered style. Below, the punchline unfolds in bold white letters: if given the choice, being a hawk is the obvious upgrade. The design uses negative space and simple typography against the black shirt, letting the absurdist humor land without clutter. It's clever without being mean-spirited, funny without requiring explanation—the kind of shirt that makes people smile when they read it, then think about it a second longer.
Who it's for
Ideal for dry-humor lovers, bird enthusiasts who appreciate wordplay, and anyone who enjoys wearing unexpected comedy. Gift it to the friend with a quirky sense of humor, the person who loves animals more than small talk, or someone starting a new chapter who needs permission to be themselves. Works for casual wear, road trips, or any setting where a clever laugh lands well.
