Retro Doberman Christmas Shirt Dad Club Santa Hat Reindeer

The middle Doberman is the one who got tangled up. A string of bulbs loops around his chest and front legs while he sits square in front of the tree, mouth open, looking pleased with himself. Behind him the branches hold their own lights, a gold star sits on top, and a few ornaments hang right at dog height.

A Retro Doberman Christmas Shirt With a Santa Hat, Antlers, and Tangled Lights

Our Doberman Dad Club tee gathers three black-and-tan dogs around that tree. The one on the left wears a Santa hat with a white pom-pom that dangles past his jaw. The one on the right has reindeer antlers with a sprig of holly tucked between them, and he is caught mid-step with one paw lifted and his tail swinging. It is a Christmas design for the person who shares a home with dogs like these, the ones who stretch out across the whole sofa and still look hopeful about the rest of your seat.

The lettering does the club part. DOBERMAN curves across the top in a retro arch, and DAD CLUB sits underneath in heavy block capitals, like a membership you signed up for the first week the puppy came home. We kept the wording plain on purpose, so the dogs get to be the loud part.

Gift Boxes Stamped With Tiny Pine Trees at Every Paw

Look at the floor of the scene and you will find a pile of wrapped boxes, some patterned with little evergreens, one in a plaid wrap with a ribbon, and clusters of holly leaves and red berries tucked between them. A few paper snowflakes drift near the trunk. The whole picture feels like the living room on the morning when the dogs have already inspected every package and decided which ones are theirs.

This shirt suits the Doberman owner who puts a bandana on the dog for the holidays, hangs the stockings low enough for a wagging tail, and keeps a bag of treats near the tree. It also fits the dad who just wants his dogs on his chest when the family lines up for the annual photo. We designed it for that household, where the dogs are not accessories to Christmas but the reason the tree gets knocked a little crooked every year.

Can a Doberman Dad Club Shirt Be Worn Past December?

The lights, antlers, and Santa hat clearly say Christmas, but the club lettering and the three dogs hold up on their own at winter dog walks, cold-weather trips to the park, and any gathering of fellow Doberman people. Plenty of owners keep wearing it through January, when the tree is gone and the dogs are still around.

Somewhere in that stack of pine-tree presents is a box the dog in the antlers is already eyeing.
