Many have speculated as to what the Haymaker means. Is it Chuck Norris or Paul Bunyon knocking out a bear? Or might it represent the Cold War since the bear has Russian on it and the guy looks American? Maybe it's an image of your dad or boyfriend? A lot of dudes look like the guy in the design...

Over the last three years, our Bear Punch design has broken down all boundaries of race, gender and religion. It’s become a favorite amongst the nerdy book readers and it’s been given badass status by bros and MMA lovers alike. We even went as far as shipping the haymaker to Steven Colbert. He was nice enough to write us back a letter (or at least it looked like it was from him…). It said:

“Dear Sharp Shirter, thank you for sending me this bear punch t-shirt. Fortunately, I’m no longer running for public office and I am free to accept gifts.”

We thought that was a pretty sweet moment for the Sharp Shirter camp.
