Soft, absorbent, and brutally well-timed. Tear Towels are unofficial novelty rally towels in your city’s colors — built for celebrating, sulking, and mailing straight to the loudest fan you know.
Plush, absorbent, genuinely usable. It handles sweat, spilled nachos, and a fourth-quarter collapse equally well.
Nothing lands like a towel arriving the Tuesday after a loss. Zero words required. The color does the talking.
All 32 pro football markets, organized by conference and division. Find your city in about four seconds.
Next-day dispatch on orders in before X:00 PM. Aiming at a specific game? Order about two weeks out.
My mother pulled for Dallas from the 1970s on. She cried when they lost. Sometimes she cried when they won.
She kept a towel for it. Every time Dallas scored it went up over her head and waved — from her chair, in a living room in Arizona, with nobody watching but us.
A rival city up north had already made a waved towel famous. She never cared whose idea it was first. In that room, the gesture was hers.
In all those years she had never seen a game in person, and by the time we could take her she could not travel. Then Dallas came to Phoenix, where we live, and my brother and I finally got her into a stadium.
She was in her late sixties. It was the first live football game of her life.
Decades of Sundays in that chair. One afternoon in the stands. She waved the entire time.
Tear Towels started there. No logo, no license — just a woman in a chair who needed something in her hands when it mattered. Thirty-two cities, because every city has one of her.
Thirty-two towels, one for every city that has ever ruined a perfectly good Sunday. Soft enough to actually use. Pointed enough to give away.
Everybody has one: the coworker who will not stop talking, the brother-in-law with the group-chat takes, the neighbor with the flag on the truck. You do not need a comeback. You need a package with their colors on it, arriving the morning after.
Everything about the towel, the shipping, and the legal fine print.
Each towel is a soft, absorbent rally-style towel measuring approximately 28" x 16". It is genuinely usable — wipe a seat, dry your hands, wave it in the fourth quarter, or catch a few tears when the season goes sideways. Exact fabric weight and dimensions are listed on each product page.
Orders placed before X:00 PM local time are dispatched the next business day. Standard delivery typically lands in 7–10 business days, and shipping is included in the price — there is no separate delivery charge at checkout. Holiday and playoff weeks are our busiest. If the towel is aimed at a specific game, order roughly two weeks ahead.
No. Tear Towels are unofficial novelty gag gifts sold independently. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or licensed by the National Football League, NFL Properties LLC, or any professional football team. All team names, marks, and related designs referenced anywhere are the property of their respective owners.
Yes, and it is the whole point. At checkout you can ship straight to the recipient and add a short gift message. Many customers send one to a friend, sibling, coworker, or in-law in a rival city — ideally timed for the week after a rough loss.
Unused towels in original packaging can be returned within XX days for a full refund or exchange. If the item arrives damaged or the wrong city ships, send us a photo and we will replace it at no cost. Gift recipients can exchange without needing the original order number.
All 32 pro football markets are represented, grouped by conference and division so you can find your city fast. Cities with two franchises are listed separately and identified by color pairing so you always send the right one.
Thirty-two cities. One very specific emotion. Grab a towel before the next round of heartbreak makes it a necessity.
