About Us

Clint 'n Kate

Scared Panda is a Chicago t-shirt shop whose mission is to translate the love for Chicago that so many people have into support for nonprofits who have an impact in the city. We have made a pledge to give 10% of each t-shirt sale to a local nonprofit.

Each shirt has a unique story behind it, so not only are you getting an awesome looking t-shirt to sport and helping a local organization, but you can also take pride in knowing that there is some meaning behind the design. Another added bonus: we print only 75 of each t-shirt so chances are, you won’t see many people wearing the same shirt as you.

Our Chicago
We started Scared Panda to get involved with local artists and to show off local perspectives of Chicago. Our unique perspective has been of the Tamale Guys. The Tamale Guys are men who go from bar to bar and sell tamales and as they walk into a bar, everyone cheers. There are two tamale guys – one carries a red cooler and one carries a blue – we have been loyal fans of the red cooler for years (we even created an app to track him on Twitter) and his delicious tamales are the inspiration for Scared Panda’s first t-shirt, Tamale! Tamale!.

Have an idea for a shirt? Drop us a line and let us know – we’d love to work with you! scaredpandashop@gmail.com.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sincerely,

Clint & Kate
