Team Spirit and Milestone Tees: Cougar Nation, LSU Tigers, Forty Fine and I Am Retired
Updated: Oct 22
Some shirts are bought for a team and some for a birthday or a retirement party. Both kinds are gifts that need to arrive on time and fit right. Nu'Jants lists four of them: Cougar Nation in navy and gold, an LSU Tigers Est. 1860 tee, a Forty Fine birthday tee and an I Am Retired I Don't Have To tee. The pages vary a lot in how much they say, so this post is honest about both what is there and what is not.
Cougar Nation in navy and gold
The Cougar Nation Tee in navy and gold shows prices starting from $29.00. The page title calls it a navy and gold school spirit shirt, and the listing says it comes in 12 style options and is made on a Bella and Canvas blank. The option list covers many garments, including sweatpants styles and different tops, so open the page and choose the item you want. The page does not describe the design in words, so the product photo is the best guide.
LSU Tigers Est. 1860
The LSU Tigers Est. 1860 shirt shows prices starting from $50.00. The page lists only the name, the price and a choice of options. It does not describe the fabric, the print or the fit, and it does not say whether the item is licensed. If those details matter, especially for a gift to a die-hard fan, ask through the contact page post before you order.
Forty Fine
The Forty Fine Tee in black ink shows prices starting from $20.00. The page title calls it a turning 40 birthday shirt. The options include garments such as an ash grey crewneck sweatshirt, in sizes up to 4X. Like the LSU listing, the page gives no description beyond the name, so the photo and the option list are your guide. It is an easy birthday present for someone turning 40 who has a sense of humor about it.
I Am Retired I Don't Have To Tee
The Funny Shirt, I Am Retired I Don't Have To Tee shows prices starting from $22.95. This page is detailed. It lists a garment-dyed, washed-in softness for a lived-in feel, a heavier 6.1 ounce fabric, 100% ring-spun cotton, a relaxed fit with set-in sleeves, a vintage look from the dyeing process, double-needle stitching with twill-taped neck and shoulders, a tag-free feel and OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes. The care note is machine wash cold, tumble dry low and iron inside out. It is pitched as a gift for a retirement party, and it fits true to size per the guide.
Sizing
The retired tee page shows a size guide with a small at a 36 to 38 inch chest and a 27 inch length, a medium at 38 to 40 and 28, a large at 40 to 42 and 29, an extra large at 42 to 44 and 30, and a 2XL at 44 to 46 and 31. For the other three, use each page's option list, since the pages do not publish their own charts.
Choosing by occasion
Retirement party or a last day at work: the retired tee, which has the clearest fabric and care information.
40th birthday: Forty Fine.
College or alumni fan: Cougar Nation or LSU, after you confirm the details you need.
Group gift: the retired tee is the safest, since the page spells out the fabric.
A note on team merchandise
Team names and logos are often protected. The pages do not state whether these designs are licensed products, and Nu'Jants lists them as its own items. If you are buying for a fan who cares about official gear, ask before you order. For a general game day outfit, the Eagles NFC Champions shirt and the Tailgate Barbarian beanies are also in the catalog.
Paying for it
Shipping at Nu'Jants is a flat $5.99 on every order, and Afterpay, Klarna and Affirm are available at checkout if you would rather pay in 4. A share of every Nu'Jants sale also goes to the American Red Cross.
