Everything you need to know about Third Shot Society pickleball t-shirts — sizing, fabric, care, gifting, and a little pickleball slang for good measure.
About the Shirts
What does "Dink Responsibly" mean?
"Dink Responsibly" is a play on the dink — the soft, controlled shot near the net that defines smart pickleball. It's a wink at players who know that patience wins points. The graphic pairs the phrase with the unofficial motto "Good Dinks, Great Times."
What is a dink in pickleball?
A dink is a soft shot hit from the non-volley zone (the kitchen) that arcs just over the net and lands in your opponent's kitchen. It forces opponents to hit up, setting you up for the winning shot. Dinking is the heart of strategic pickleball.
Are these pickleball t-shirts unisex?
Yes. Every Third Shot Society tee is a classic unisex fit on Bella+Canvas 3001 blanks, cut to flatter all players. If you prefer a more fitted look, size down one.
What sizes do your pickleball shirts come in?
Our pickleball t-shirts come in sizes XS through 5XL, depending on the colorway. Dark colorways run XS–5XL and light colorways run XS–4XL.
What are the shirts made of?
They're made from buttery-soft 4.2 oz Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton for a lightweight, breathable feel on and off the court. Heather colors use a cotton/poly blend.
Sizing & Care
Do the shirts run true to size?
Yes — they fit like a classic retail tee. If you're between sizes or want a relaxed fit, size up; for a closer fit, size down.
How should I wash my pickleball t-shirt?
Machine wash cold, inside out, and tumble dry low. Do not iron directly on the print. Washing cold and drying low keeps both the fabric and the vintage graphic looking sharp for the long haul.
Gifting & Orders
Are these good gifts for pickleball players?
Absolutely. A funny pickleball t-shirt is the easy win for the player who already owns every paddle — perfect for birthdays, league prizes, the holidays, or your favorite open-play partner.
How are the shirts made and shipped?
Each tee is printed to order on ethically sourced Bella+Canvas blanks (Fair Labor Association member, WRAP Platinum certified). Because they're made on demand, production takes a few business days before your order ships. You'll receive tracking as soon as it's on the way.
