Purdue Boilermakers Arch Pete Shirt

There is no mascot quite like Purdue Pete. With his hard hat, his hammer, and his unblinking stare, he embodies the tough, industrial spirit of the university. This shirt puts that legend front and center. The design features a timeless “Arch” layout, with the university name boldly curved over a detailed graphic of Pete ready to strike. It is a look that screams “Boiler Up” without saying a word, capturing the blue-collar work ethic that defines the teams on the field and the court.

Designed for the fan who knows that Mackey Arena is the loudest place on earth, this tee is a staple for game day. The classic collegiate graphic style pairs perfectly with the old gold and black, making it a versatile piece for students and alumni alike. Whether you are cheering for a touchdown at Ross-Ade Stadium or watching basketball history unfold, this shirt connects you to the deep roots of the program. It is built on durable, sturdy cotton—tough enough for an engineer, but comfortable enough for a fan. Wear it to show that you are part of the Boilermaker Special, rolling full steam ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions about Purdue Boilermakers Arch Pete Shirt

1. Is the gold color accurate? We use high-quality Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing to replicate the specific “Old Gold” tone associated with Purdue as closely as possible, ensuring it contrasts well against the black or neutral shirt fabric.

2. Who is the character on the shirt? That is Purdue Pete, the official mascot of the Purdue Boilermakers. He is depicted wearing his signature hard hat and carrying a hammer, symbolizing the university’s engineering and industrial heritage.

3. How does the shirt fit? The Gildan 5000 is a standard, classic fit t-shirt. It is boxy and comfortable, true to size for men. For women, it offers a relaxed, boyfriend-style fit. If you prefer a tighter athletic cut, we recommend sizing down.

4. Will the print crack? No, we use DTG technology which sprays the ink into the fabric rather than sitting on top like a thick plastic decal. This ensures the design stays flexible and soft, though we recommend washing inside out to preserve the details.
