Funcle Shirt: Embroidered Goose in a Cap and Sunglasses Holding a Beer

This funcle shirt is for the fun uncle, the one who shows up with snacks, bad jokes and zero rules. A white goose with soft grey shading stands in the center of the chest in a blue baseball cap turned backwards and a pair of black sunglasses, holding up a frothy mug of beer in one wing. Its orange beak and orange feet add a bright pop, and the word FUNCLE sits underneath in white capital letters. It is a ready-made design on a soft, short-sleeve T-shirt: choose the color and size, change the word or the placement if you like, and we stitch it to order. Every stitch is 100% real embroidery, stitched into the fabric rather than printed.

What is on the funcle shirt?

The funcle shirt has 3 parts:

• The goose: a white goose with grey shading, a backwards blue cap, black sunglasses, an orange beak and orange feet, holding a mug of beer with white foam on top.
• The word: FUNCLE in white capital letters under the goose, or your own short line.
• The sleeve (optional): a name, initials or short word and an icon from the font and icon chart, in the font and thread color you choose, on the left or right sleeve.

What does funcle mean?

Funcle is short for fun uncle: the uncle who plays the loudest games, hands out the candy and gets everyone laughing at family dinners. It is a proud nickname rather than a title, which is why a funcle shirt makes such an easy gift. The goose in sunglasses carries the same easygoing attitude, so the joke works even before anyone reads the word.

Can you change the word or the placement?

Yes, and both changes are free. Type your own short line in the Custom Text option, such as UNCLE MIKE or GREAT UNCLE, and we stitch it in the same capitals under the goose; leave it blank to keep FUNCLE. The Text Thread Color option keeps the white letters as shown or switches them to another thread color, and the Embroidery Placement option puts the design in the center of the chest, as in the photos, or smaller on the left chest. Your free design proof shows every change before we stitch.

Is it a funcle goose shirt?

Yes. The goose is the star here: a cool goose with a backwards cap, sunglasses and a beer, the kind of goose that would be the favorite relative at any party. If your uncle loves goose memes or silly animal humor, this funcle goose shirt is a gift he will actually wear.

Is it a good gift for an uncle?

Yes. This funny uncle shirt suits a birthday, Father’s Day, Christmas or the day someone becomes an uncle for the first time, and it is a fun way to tell a brother he is about to be a funcle. Add the kids’ names or initials on the sleeve to make it personal.

Which color should you choose?

Pick a color in the options above and the photos switch to it, so you can see the goose on that color before you order. The white goose and the white letters stand out on every color we offer for this design, and the blue cap, orange feet and golden beer keep the design bright on the darker shirts.

How do you order your T-shirt?

To order your T-shirt, follow 5 steps:

• Choose the T-shirt color and size in the options above.
• Leave Custom Text blank for FUNCLE or type your own line, and pick the text thread color.
• Choose Center Chest or Left Chest.
• Choose whether to add sleeve embroidery, and if you add it, type the name or initials, then pick the icon, font, thread color and sleeve.
• Add it to your cart; we email a free design proof before we stitch.

How do you add a name or icon on the sleeve?

Sleeve embroidery is optional and goes on one short sleeve. Type a short name or your initials, such as Gus or Max, and pick an icon, a font and a thread color from the charts in the photos, or leave the icon off. White thread is preselected and reads clearly on every color of this design.

Is there a sweatshirt version too?

Yes. The same goose comes on our funcle sweatshirt for cooler days. Choose this T-shirt for warm weather or layering, and the sweatshirt for a cozy fleece.

What happens after you order?

We email you a free digital design proof, and you can ask for unlimited edits. Once you approve it, we embroider your T-shirt to order and ship it from the USA; the estimated delivery date is shown on this page. For a birthday or a holiday, order at least two weeks ahead.

Which size should you choose?

Each piece is made to order, so it is not eligible for size exchanges. Open the size guide on this page and compare the measurements with a T-shirt you already own before you order, and size up if you want a looser fit or are between sizes.

How should you wash an embroidered T-shirt?

To keep the embroidery bright and the color even, follow 4 steps:

• Turn the T-shirt inside out before washing.
• Wash it cold with similar colors, and use only non-chlorine bleach.
• Tumble dry low or hang it to dry.
• Skip the dry cleaner, and if you iron, iron on the reverse side, never directly on the embroidery.

Frequently asked questions

Is the goose printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The goose, the cap, the beer and the letters are stitched in thread, so the design has a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

Is there a version for a dad?

Yes. The silly dada shirt has a little white goose with the words “silly dada”, and the goose with sunglasses shirt has a cool goose in black shades for any goose fan.

Where can I find more funny animal designs?

More ready-made designs are in our animal lover gifts and embroidered pet T-shirts.
