By The Merch Editorial Team

Overview

Bad Friends isn't just a podcast - it's a vibe. And for those of us who can't get enough of Bobby Lee and Andrew Santino's chaotic energy, wearing the show's merch is a way to carry that energy everywhere. Whether you're after a hoodie that screams "Thiccc Boy" or a tee that quietly references "Cockroach," the official Bad Friends merch collection has you covered. But with new drops, sizing quirks, and a ton of designs to choose from, it helps to have a guide. This is exactly that - a no-fluff look at the best hoodies, T-shirts, and tips for scoring the right gear.

Details

Hoodies: Cozy Meets Iconic

The Bad Friends hoodie is a staple. Most are mid-weight fleece, perfect for layering in 2026's unpredictable weather. Designs range from bold front prints of the podcast logo to subtler back art featuring the duo's cartoon faces. A fan-favorite is the "America's Favorite Bad Friend" hoodie - it's simple, but anyone in the know will nod. Sizing runs slightly small, so if you like a baggy fit, go up one size. The hoodies are preshrunk, but washing inside out keeps the print fresh for years.

T-Shirts: Everyday Essentials

If hoodies are for cozy days, T-shirts are for everyday wear. The collection includes classic crewnecks in black, white, and the show's signature neon green. My go-to is the "Cockroach" tee - it's a subtle nod to Andrew's infamous cockroach story, and the fabric is a heavyweight cotton that doesn't warp after washing. For something louder, the "Thiccc Boy" tee (a Bobby Lee classic) features a bold graphic that always gets a laugh. Prices hover around $35, making them a solid entry point for new fans.

Tips for Buying Bad Friends Merch

1. Follow the drops: The the official Bad Friends store often releases limited editions tied to podcast episodes or milestones. Turn on notifications for the store's social media - they usually give 24-hour heads-ups. 2. Size up for hoodies: Most buyers agree that hoodies run a bit snug. If you're between sizes, go larger. The oversized look also matches the laid-back Bad Friends aesthetic. 3. Watch for restocks: Popular items like the "Bad Friends Live" hoodie sell out in hours. The store restocks, but it can take weeks. Sign up for email alerts to snag one. 4. Pre-wash tees: The 100% cotton tees shrink slightly. Wash in cold and hang dry to keep your size consistent. 5. Bundle for savings: Occasionally, the site offers bundle deals - a tee and a hoodie for a reduced price. Keep an eye out during holidays or special events.
