Behind the artwork

About this design

Sometimes you don’t need a whole speech. Our Love Hurts design says it loud in big, confident type, and it lands two ways at once: classic relationship humor and that familiar sports-fan sting when a tough loss hits. With the Philly football vibe supported by our product tags and descriptions, this one’s for anyone who wears their feelings on their sleeve, and keeps showing up anyway.

Made for: Philadelphia football fans, sports lovers, and anyone who enjoys a blunt, funny heartbreak statement.

Questions about this design

What does the “LOVE, HURTS” message mean?
It’s a simple, punchy line that fits both romance and sports. It’s for those moments when caring a lot is the whole point, even when it stings. Around Philly, it also nails that tough, loyal fan energy.
Is this artwork more about heartbreak or football?
Both, and that’s the fun of it. The words work as classic heartbreak humor, but our Philly and football tags back up the game-day reading too. Wear it however it fits your week.
How do I choose a size for Love Hurts apparel?
On each product page, tap the Size Chart button next to the size options. That button opens the chart chosen for that exact style. If you’re between sizes, we generally recommend sizing up.
When will my order ship and arrive?
We print your item after you place the order, and that doesn’t add a special waiting period. Most orders ship the same day or next business day. Most orders usually arrive in about 3 to 4 business days after shipment.

The fastest exchange is often placing a new order and returning the original within the policy window.
How should I wash and care for this item?
Keep the love strong: machine wash cold and inside out with like colors. Use only non-chlorine bleach when needed, tumble dry on medium, and do not iron or dry clean. With normal use and proper care, the garment and print are designed to provide years of enjoyment.

We print every order after it’s placed using professional heat-press equipment and plastisol transfers. Your item is printed, packed, and shipped in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, just outside Philadelphia. Artwork size and placement match the digital mockup, and colors are shown as closely as possible, but screens and garment shades can shift slightly.
