Embroidered Goose Shirt: Little White Goose with the Word “silly” on a Soft T-Shirt

This embroidered goose shirt puts a plump white goose on the left chest, standing with its long neck up and facing left, while the word “silly” curves over its back in lowercase serif letters. The goose is filled with soft white and pale grey stitches and outlined in a dark navy thread, with an orange beak and rust-red feet. It is a ready-made design on a soft, short-sleeve T-shirt: choose the color and size, keep the word as shown or pick black or white thread for it, add a name or icon on the sleeve 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 embroidered goose shirt?

The embroidered goose shirt has 3 parts:

• The goose: a standing white goose with a long neck, an orange beak and rust-red feet, on the left chest.
• The word: “silly” in lowercase serif letters, arched over the goose’s back, in the thread you choose.
• 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.

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 shows up on every color, from pale pastels to deep blues, greens and black. The word is stitched in black on light and bright colors and in white on dark colors, as in the photos.

Can you choose the thread color of the word?

Yes. The word thread option starts at As shown, which is the thread in the photo of the color you pick. Choose Black or White to change only the word “silly”; the goose keeps its white body, orange beak and rust-red feet. Your free design proof shows the word on your T-shirt before we stitch.

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.
• Keep the word thread as shown, or pick Black or White.
• Choose whether to add sleeve embroidery.
• 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, a nickname or your initials 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 because it reads best on dark shirts; pick Black or another dark thread for the light colors.

Is it a funny goose shirt or a minimalist one?

Both. One word and a goose with a serious little face make it a funny goose shirt, and the small left-chest design keeps it a minimalist goose shirt that goes with jeans, shorts or a cardigan. It is a cute goose shirt for summer days, bird walks and lazy weekends, with nothing on it tied to a date.

Is there a sweatshirt version too?

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

Is it a good gift for a goose lover?

Yes. It suits a friend who collects goose decor, someone with a playful nickname, a farm or bird lover, or anyone who likes a shirt that makes people smile. Add a name or a nickname on the sleeve, and find more ideas in our animal lover gifts.

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 an oversized look 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, its beak and feet, the word and the sleeve name are stitched in thread, so they have a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

Is there a goose shirt for the holidays?

Yes. The Santa goose shirt has a goose in a Santa hat with a red bow, while this design has no hat and works all year.

Are there other embroidered T-shirts?

Yes. More ready-made animals are in our embroidered pet T-shirts, and ducks and geese on sweatshirts are in our duck sweatshirts.
