Ardsley XXL Athletics Shirt – A Classic Tee with a Tech Legacy

This design rose to fame after Jesse Eisenberg, portraying Mark Zuckerberg, wore it in The Social Network. In the film, Zuckerberg is seen coding in Palo Alto while wearing the Ardsley tee. These scenes capture the early days of Facebook’s creation, making the shirt instantly iconic among fans of tech and film.

But the story doesn’t stop there. The shirt isn’t just a movie prop—it holds real-life significance. “Ardsley” refers to Ardsley High School in New York, where Mark Zuckerberg studied before transferring to Phillips Exeter Academy. The shirt grounds the film in truth, creating a deeper connection for viewers.

Even more interesting, the actual shirt worn in the movie was later purchased by Zuckerberg himself. During an interview on The Colin and Samir Show, he proudly held it up and joked, “This is his shirt. Well, I guess this is my shirt now.” That moment brought the story full circle and turned this simple design into a collector’s dream.

Beyond its cultural meaning, the shirt stands out for its quality. Made from a soft cotton-polyester blend, it’s lightweight, breathable, and perfect for daily wear. The durable print keeps its bold look even after multiple washes. Whether paired with jeans or layered under a hoodie, this piece fits into any casual wardrobe.

We offer the design on several products, including standard unisex tees, premium shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies. That way, fans can choose the style that suits them best.
