It Was Going Out — The “Got in the Way” Tee

It was going out.
Until you got in the way.

Every pickleball player has done it.

The ball is sailing long. Your partner knows it. You know it. Everyone on the court knows it.

And then...

THWACK.

You stick a paddle in the way anyway. 

The It Was Going Out Pickleball T-shirt turns one of pickleball’s most painfully relatable moments into a full-blown impact scene—with a pickleball looking like it just blasted straight through the back of your shirt.

And yes, it only comes in Heather Grey. That’s on purpose.

We designed this one specifically for Heather Grey so the torn fabric blends into the shirt itself, making the ball look even more like it’s actually bursting through the material. Other colours looked good.

Heather Grey made the joke work.

Finished with the understated white CW | COURT WIT mark on the front, it’s equal parts pickleball, bad decision-making and Court Wit.

Because sometimes the smartest shot you can make... is no shot at all.

PLAY SMART. WEAR WIT.

THE SHIRT BEHIND THE WIT

A great design deserves a shirt you'll actually want to wear.

We chose our tri-blend tee because it hits the sweet spot between soft, lightweight and ready to move — whether you're heading to the courts, grabbing a post-game drink, or ignoring everyone who told you that four hours of pickleball was enough.

Made from 50% polyester, 25% cotton and 25% rayon, the fabric combines the softness and comfort of cotton, the lightweight durability and moisture-management properties of polyester, and the smooth drape of rayon.

Translation?

It feels really damn good.

FIT

Our tees feature a flattering unisex fit suitable for both men and women.

This style fits slightly smaller than some traditional unisex tees. If you're between sizes or prefer a more relaxed fit, we recommend sizing up.

Available sizes: S · M · L · XL

COLOUR

Our designs are offered on carefully selected colours from our blank collection. Available colours may vary by design because — shocking revelation — not every graphic looks equally good on every shirt.

We'd rather offer the combinations that look great than 20 colours just because we can.

Please note that actual garment colours may vary slightly from what you see on your screen due to lighting, photography and differences between displays.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR WIT

Your shirt will last longer if you show it a little love.

• Wash inside out
• Cold water
• Gentle cycle
• Avoid bleach
• For best results, lay flat or hang to dry
• If using a dryer, tumble dry on low
• Do not iron directly over the printed design

Basically: treat it better than your paddle after an 11–2 loss.

DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY PLAY

Court Wit isn't interested in slapping pickleball sayings onto random shirts.

We choose garments for comfort, movement and wearability, then pair them with designs made for people who actually understand the game.
