Two birds, one season. We didn't plan it that way, but here we are.
Back in the spring, we put a screaming eagle on a Fenway shirt because we decided being a Red Sox fan has always been super metal, and every great venue deserves a great band tee. Now women's professional baseball has arrived in Boston, and our Boston Hunters shirt marks it with an osprey. We're aware there's a whole bit about putting a bird on things. We've made our peace with it. Twice.
Two very different birds
The MCMXII eagle is loud. Screaming, wings out, clutching a flaming bat, built for people who think Fenway sounds like a Metallica intro. The Boston Hunters shirt is the opposite kind of bird entirely. She's patient. Precise. Eyesight sharp enough to spot a baseball from the upper deck, and in no rush to prove it. One bird screams. One waits and then commits fully to the dive. Different genres, same ballpark.
The Boston Hunters shirt itself
Original hand-drawn design. A diving osprey over Fenway under a summer night sky, retro lettering, a Summer 2026 date stamp, built to look like it came off a real vintage ballpark poster and not a licensing template. Because that's the other thing worth saying here: women's sports merchandise has mostly meant a logo slapped on a blank, if it existed at all. We made a Boston Hunters shirt because staying quiet when women's professional baseball finally lands here, and doing it with the same care we'd put into anything else, would defeat the entire point of why we started making shirts in the first place.
Whether you're getting to Robin Roberts Stadium, following the league from your couch, or just glad it exists, this one's for showing up.
Printed on a heather emerald unisex tee. The osprey does not care what you wear. But if she did, she would wear this. Same goes for the eagle, honestly, though he'd probably be louder about it.
