Plague Doctor Shirt There Are 2 Types Of People Avoid Both

Plague Doctor Print That Sets the Tone Before Anyone Says a Word

This plague doctor shirt puts that hooked mask and wide hat right in the center of the chest, done up in deep purple and gold, with the words “there are 2 types of people” curling above it and “avoid both of them” settling below. It’s a strange little joke, and that’s exactly why it works. Some people are going to read it, laugh once, and get it immediately. Others are going to squint at the bird-faced figure holding a skull and wonder what they just walked past. Either way, the shirt has already made its point without anyone asking us to explain it.

Avoid Both Of Them

We like that the line doesn’t try too hard to be clever. It reads like something a friend would say under their breath at a party, half joke and half warning, and it fits the plague doctor art because that character has always carried a little bit of dark humor with it. Pair that with the skull tucked in his hands and the whole thing feels less like a costume reference and more like a personality on a shirt.

The Skull In His Hands

There’s a small detail worth pointing out, the skull he’s cradling gives the design a second layer to notice after the first glance. We designed it so the eye catches the mask and the hat first, then drifts down to the skull, so the shirt keeps giving you something even after the initial read. It’s the kind of print that holds up to a second look, which matters if you’re the type who actually studies a graphic before deciding you like it.

We made this one for people who wear their humor a little dry, the type who’d rather let a shirt say the thing instead of saying it out loud themselves. It works thrown on for a night out with friends who already know your sense of humor, or just worn around the house on a day you want something that feels a little more you than a plain tee. As part of our graphic styles at TeeMam, this design leans into that same instinct we build a lot of our pieces around, art with a bit of edge and a line that sticks with someone after they’ve read it once. Wear it with people who’ll actually get the joke and it does most of the talking for you. If the combination of dark humor and detailed art sounds like something you’d reach for often, this one’s worth adding to what you already wear.
