I Want You for Shark Week Crewneck Sweatshirt

This I Want You for Shark Week design comes from Shark Week, the Discovery Channel event that has turned shark documentaries into an annual summer institution since 1988. Shark Week began on the Discovery Channel in July 1988 and has run every year since, which makes it the longest-running cable television event in history. It started as a block of shark documentaries and became something closer to a national summer holiday. The visual language is unmistakable — the chomped-out bite mark, the open jaws, the ocean blues — and it works on a shirt precisely because everyone recognises it without needing the show explained.

It was created in part as a corrective: after Jaws, sharks were widely regarded as monsters, and the programming was meant to put actual marine science in front of a mass audience. The bite-mark logo is one of the most recognisable pieces of television branding of the last forty years. This one is printed on a white unisex sweatshirt in sizes S through 3XL. A solid pick for anyone who clears their calendar the same week every summer.
