5 Great Homecoming Shirt Sayings For a Fond Farewell

Posted on November 19, 2015April 30, 2025 by MCC

Homecoming’s a pretty special time of year for everyone involved. After all, you’ve got a bunch of students returning (possibly for the last time) to a place they gave several years – maybe even almost half a decade – of their lives to. Whether they loved their school or hated it, it’s going to be emotional, and more than a little nostalgic.

This year, why not give your alumni a little something to remember the school by? Something like a T shirt. It doesn’t have to be anything complicated, mind you – just toss a catchy little saying onto the front, and you’re pretty much golden.

We’ll even get you started with a few awesome ideas before you dive into the Design Studio to make some shirts for yourself:

Rafiki’s Wisdom

Rafiki meditating: The past can hurt, but you can either run from it or learn from it

by Monique Cutajar

Depending on who you’re making it for, this shirt should bring with it a pretty big hit of nostalgia (of course, we’re of the opinion that EVERYONE needs to watch The Lion King at least once). What’s most important, however, are the words on the shirt – words of wisdom that your alumni can live by as they set out into the world.

“The past can hurt. But you can either run from it or learn from it.”

A Lion Chased Me Up A Tree

Picture of lion: "A lion chased me up a tree, and I greatly enjoyed the view from the top." - Confucius

by Smilin’ Eyes Treasures

“A lion chased me up a tree. I greatly enjoyed the view from the top.” – Confucius

Let’s continue down the road of imparting wisdom, shall we? The message of this quote’s a pretty simple one, but it’s no less valuable for it. It’s all about facing life’s challenges and rolling with the punches it throws – and still coming out smiling on the other side.

After all, without adversity, no ever really grows.

Imagination vs Knowledge

Quote: "Imagination is more important than knowledge." - Albert Einstein

by Tom Hill

More wise words that you shouldn’t soon forget. It really doesn’t matter how much you know or how much you learn at school if you don’t have the drive or creativity to apply that knowledge, does it?

Don’t Grow Up! It’s A Trap!

Text: "Don't grow up! It's a trap!"

by Jasmine Berry

Alright. That’s enough being heavy for now. Let’s move on to a bit of comedy. Of course, those of you who actually HAVE grown up will know that what’s printed on this shirt is…not actually a joke.

Kiss My Class Goodbye

2015: Kiss my class goodbye!!! Letters "C" and "L" in "class" covered by a kiss

by Dream Tee Box

Pretty decent play on words, isn’t it?

Anyway, there’s a few sayings to get everybody started. Now feel free to create your own design in our studio, or take a look at our products if you’re interested in printing on something other than a t-shirt.



Get started with custom t-shirts.
