Originally introduced in 1954 as “Pitcher Man,” a simple glass pitcher with an animated face, the character wouldn't become the Kool-Aid Man we all know and love until 1974, when he was transformed into a six-foot-tall, walking, talking pitcher of cherry Kool-Aid. His television commercials followed a hilariously predictable formula: a group of thirsty kids, usually exhausted from playing outside, would announce their need for something refreshing before cupping their hands around their mouths and shouting, “Hey, Kool-Aid!” Right on cue, Kool-Aid Man would come crashing through a wall, fence, ceiling, or just about anything else standing in his way, delivering his signature “Oh yeah!” before pouring the kids a refreshing glass of Kool-Aid straight from his own head. Apparently, no amount of property damage was too great when there were thirsty children in need.
Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Gildan 5000B tees, one of the best-wearing kid's t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods. In short, this youth pro weight tee is perfect for every kid who wants a comfortable shirt to play, relax, or romp around in and our durable, high-quality prints will survive many adventures.

Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our hoodies are made using premium, preshrunk cotton/poly blends, there can be some slight shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you're on the fence or just want to be able to layer over various shirts, we always suggest going up a size as hoodies are meant to be a little on the big side 😎
All sizes are provided in inches! Please note that variations in sizing of up to 1.5 inches are possible.
