Our Crossword Constructor Long Sleeve Shirt highlights crosswords that go beyond intellect and into aesthetics, proving that form and function can coexist. On the front, black and white grids amble downward across the chest of the shirt. On the back, we pay homage to the brilliant constructors who crafted these puzzles, listing their name and their featured puzzle’s publication date.

Grid gurus will delight in our Crossword Constructor capsule — a series of products that revel in the black and white beauty of the classic crossword design. These pieces celebrate the constructors who push the boundaries of what a puzzle can be, creating pieces of art from the negative space between the clues. Available on a tote bag and long sleeve shirt, this design is for the aesthete with a solving streak.

The Crossword Constructor Long Sleeve Shirt celebrates several noteworthy puzzles published in The New York Times, including those by David Levinson Wilk, Bruce Haight, Zhouqin Burnikel, Joe Krozel, William I. Johnston, Kameron Austin Collins, Patrick Merrell and Paula Gamache. This 100% cotton shirt is made in the USA by Royal Apparel, an eco-friendly company based in the New York area.
