Description

Meet the mascot. He's been expecting you.

Sunglasses on. Rocks glass in hand. Absolutely zero regrets about any of it. This raccoon didn't stumble into the bad example business — he built it, refined it, and has been running it with remarkable consistency ever since. He's not sorry. You're not either. That's why you two get along so well.

Somebody has to set the bad example. He volunteered. So did you.

Perfect For

The bourbon lover who wears the title with pride and a perfectly poured rocks glass.

You're not a bad influence — you're an experience. You're the reason the night gets interesting, the reason the group chat is never boring, and the reason there are stories people still tell three years later. You didn't ask to be the bad example. You were just born with the gift.

For whiskey nights, backyard hangs, bar crawls, birthday parties, camping trips, and anyone who has ever been called a bad influence and immediately took it as a compliment.

Someone has to do it. You and the raccoon have it handled.

Design Highlights

  • The BBA mascot raccoon — sunglasses on, rocks glass in hand, completely unbothered and entirely in charge
  • Massive distressed block typography filling every inch of the design
  • "SOMEONE HAS TO" arched header setting up the punchline perfectly
  • "SET THE BAD EXAMPLE" delivered in the biggest, boldest letters on the shirt
  • Raccoon perfectly centered — owning the composition and the lifestyle
  • Heavy distressed texture throughout — lived in, no apologies

• Use non-chlorine bleach only when needed. Avoid fabric softeners.
• Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to help preserve the garment’s quality.
• If ironing is required, turn the garment inside-out and use a cool setting. Do not iron directly over printed areas.
• Do not dry clean.

Print Method

Every product is produced using advanced Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing technology and professional-grade equipment. This process allows us to achieve sharp details, vibrant colors, and complex artwork that traditional printing methods often can't replicate. The result is a durable, high-quality finish designed to look great wear after wear.
