About this design

A Spilling Tea Since 1773 shirt, mug, and hoodie celebrating the December 16, 1773 Boston Tea Party in Boston Harbor, printed to order.

The Spilling Tea Since December 16, 1773 design depicts a wooden tea crate dated 1773 splashing into harbor waves, paired with SPILLING TEA, SINCE DECEMBER 16, 1773, and BOSTON HARBOR. Playing on the modern slang phrase "spilling tea" alongside the night American colonists dumped 342 chests of East India Company tea into Boston Harbor to protest taxation without representation, the artwork turns a pivotal moment of the American Revolution into a sharp historical pun.

This design is a favorite among history teachers, students, tea and coffee drinkers, and anyone who enjoys clever founding-era humor. It works equally well for Fourth of July parties, the December 16 anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, 2026 commemorative events, and everyday classroom or office wear, especially on a morning mug or tumbler.

We print the artwork to order in high-contrast ink tailored to light, dark, and red backgrounds on lightweight cotton tees, garment-dyed heavyweight tees, pullover hoodies, long-sleeve shirts, tank tops, ceramic mugs, stainless steel tumblers, vinyl stickers, and magnets.
