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

This funcle sweatshirt is for the fun uncle, the one who brings the snacks, tells the worst jokes and somehow never runs out of energy at family parties. 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, lifting 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 cozy crewneck sweatshirt: 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 sweatshirt?

The funcle sweatshirt 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.

Is it a funcle crewneck?

Yes. This funcle crewneck is a classic pullover sweatshirt with a ribbed collar, cuffs and hem, so it layers over a T-shirt for a ballgame, a camping trip or a cold Thanksgiving morning. The goose keeps the same easygoing attitude as the word: even before anyone reads FUNCLE, the cap, the shades and the beer tell everyone who the fun uncle is.

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 good funny uncle sweatshirt for a gift?

Yes. This funny uncle sweatshirt suits a birthday, Father’s Day, Christmas or the day someone becomes an uncle for the first time, and it is an easy way to tell a brother he is about to be a funcle. Add the kids’ names or initials on the sleeve so he remembers who gave it to him.

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 color photos are previews of the design, and the close-up shows the finished stitching on the T-shirt version. This design comes in darker and mid-tone colors only, so the white goose and the white letters stand out clearly; the blue cap, the orange feet and the golden beer keep it bright on every one of them.

How do you order your sweatshirt?

To order your sweatshirt, follow 5 steps:

• Choose the sweatshirt 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 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 hoodie or T-shirt version?

There is no hoodie, but there is a T-shirt: the same goose comes on our funcle shirt. The color and size options above are for the crewneck sweatshirt.

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 sweatshirt 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 sweatshirt you already own before you order; size up for a roomy, oversized look.

How should you wash an embroidered sweatshirt?

To keep the embroidery bright and flat, follow 4 steps:

• Turn the sweatshirt inside out before washing.
• Wash it cold with similar colors.
• Tumble dry low or hang it to dry.
• 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 sweatshirt 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 custom pet sweatshirts.
