"Don't Feed The Grackles" — a hand-drawn cowboy grackle in dark navy, screen-printed on our bestselling Comfort Colors blank. This is the kind of hyper-local Houston joke that doesn't need explaining if you've ever parked at a Houston H-E-B and watched the parking lot turn into a grackle convention.
Made for Houston-area boutiques, gift shops, museum stores, airport retail, and Texas-pride pop-ups that want apparel locals immediately recognize and tourists immediately want. The cowboy-grackle illustration leans into Houston's sense of humor about itself — Western enough for the feed-store crowd, weird enough for the inner-loop boutique. Wholesale-ready out of our Texas print shop, in a single-color print built for fast reorders and healthy margins.
The dark navy ink reads cleanly across the lighter Comfort Colors blank, and the relaxed boutique fit means it sells across age ranges — from college kids to grandmothers buying gifts for the grandkids back in California.
