How to pick the right one

Three quick filters. First, imagine the host reading it aloud, because a trivia name has to land the second it is announced, not after an explanation. Second, match it to the room, since a pun that kills at the pub can get you a look at the company night. Third, pick something you will still want to be called in week ten, because a good trivia name becomes your table's identity all season. When in doubt, a short clean pun beats a long crude one, and it works on a shirt too.

Put the name on a shirt

Nothing says "we take this very seriously and not seriously at all" like matching shirts at the quiz table. We print original funny designs in Canada, printed on soft tees and hoodies from S to 3XL, and delivered from within the country with zero customs fees and no border wait. Browse the funny graphic tee collection for a night-out shirt, or put your actual team name on one with the personalize it page, printed and shipped inside Canada.
