This is the Funny Rat Shirt — an original tee built around training, drawn by hand in ink and watercolor rather than assembled from a template. As the listing puts it: “Great for everyday wear, school days, casual outfits, back-to-school season, study sessions, teacher outfits, and funny student looks.”
Who the Funny Rat Shirt is for
This one is aimed squarely at people who signed up for a race and immediately regretted it. It sits in the Sport part of the collection, alongside the other designs about training.
Wearing and using it
It's a premium unisex tee, so the fit is relaxed rather than fitted, and it layers under a flannel or jacket without bunching. Sizes run XS–5XL.
As a gift
The reason this lands as a gift: it isn't a joke about the person, it's a joke they're already in on about training.
From the listing
Funny running late rat shirt featuring the phrase “Running Late Since Birth.” A relatable student humor tee for college students, habitual latecomers, procrastinators and anyone who is always five minutes behind.
This design is for anyone who has ever packed a bag in panic mode, chased the bus, forgot the permission slip, spilled coffee, and still somehow made it through the day. The rat captures that school-morning chaos perfectly: wide eyes, messy fur, backpack on, running fast, and already late.
Perfect gift for students, school friends, teachers with a sense of humor, back-to-school shoppers, school bus riders, chaotic classmates, college students, and anyone whose personal brand is “almost on time.”
The artwork keeps our chaotic storybook rat DNA: scruffy grey fur, oversized ears, pink nose, long tail, panicked expression, reckless movement, and lovable disaster energy. Not a cute mascot — a relatable little school rat trying very hard to survive the morning.
Great for everyday wear, school days, casual outfits, back-to-school season, study sessions, teacher outfits, and funny student looks.

It's made for the 6am gym crowd. The humor is self-directed rather than aimed at anyone, which is why it works both as something you buy for yourself and as a gift.
What sizes does the Funny Rat Shirt come in?
Sizes XS–5XL. Every design in the collection runs the full range rather than stopping at XL, so there's no separate plus-size selection to hunt through.
What is it made from?
A premium unisex tee in Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, DTG printed so the artwork sits in the fabric rather than on top of it. Available in black or white.
How much is the Funny Rat Shirt?
From £17.50, depending on size. It's printed to order, and shipping is calculated at checkout based on your delivery address.
Is the artwork original?
Yes — every character starts as a hand-drawn sketch by ArtDesignByNora, in a vintage ink and watercolor style. Nothing in the shop uses templates, stock graphics or clip art.
