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.
