The shirt is crafted for the modern Los Angeles football enthusiast. The base of the garment is a high-quality, heavyweight black cotton tee that offers both durability and breathability, perfect for the California sun or layering during colder away games.

The design features a dual-sided print that maximizes visibility. On the front left chest, a tasteful, smaller typography reads “Sorry I Was Bolting Up,” serving as a badge of honor for those in the know. The back of the shirt explodes with the same phrase in a large, oversized font. The typography utilizes a retro-inspired serif font with elegant swashes, rendered in the team’s signature Powder Blue with a crisp white outline. This aesthetic choice gives the shirt a vintage, boutique feel while remaining undeniably loyal to the team’s modern brand identity.

Why Did This Design Go Viral?

This design went viral because it taps into the “Gangster Cartoon” nostalgia trend and the “Hard Image” meme format. In the early 2000s, it was common to see unauthorized shirts of characters like SpongeBob or Popeye dressed as mobsters. Internet culture revived this in 2024-2025 as a form of “ironic drip.” Seeing Pim—a character defined by his pathetic optimism—dressed as a hardened street thug creates a visual oxymoron that resonates perfectly with the surreal, unexpected humor of Smiling Friends creators Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack.
