Lineman t-shirt with a humorous pricing chart showing escalating hourly rates based on the job, perfect for electricians and utility workers.
The story behind this design
This design speaks the language of lineworkers with a tongue-in-cheek price list printed in yellow and white on black. The shirt displays five ascending hourly rates—starting at the standard rate and climbing steeply if you're watching, working on it first, telling them how to do it, or especially if they ask how to do the job. It's rendered in a distressed, industrial font that feels authentic to the trade, with a small lineman silhouette at the top. The humor lands because it's honest: the design captures the real frustration of explaining work and undervaluing expertise. This is the kind of shirt that gets knowing nods from anyone who's climbed a pole or pulled a cable.
Who it's for
This tee is built for electricians, utility linemen, and anyone who works in electrical trades and appreciates dark humor about their labor. Gift it to a lineman celebrating a milestone, a coworker's birthday, or someone starting their apprenticeship. It also works as a retirement gag or a thank-you for a lineman friend who's helped you out—the joke lands instantly with the crew.
