Northern Monkeys: The Waiting Game – By On The Terrace
Captured in the quiet, anticipatory moments before kick-off, this latest addition to the Northern Monkeys range is a masterclass in terrace nostalgia. Designed by On The Terrace, the graphic features a lone primate perched on a concrete wall outside a rain-slicked stadium, checking his watch as matchday approaches. Clad in a classic navy parka, a blue-and-white bar scarf, and iconic terrace trainers, it’s a scene every football fan knows by heart.
Premium DTG Print Technology
We’ve paired this high-detail artwork with industry-leading Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing to ensure your gear survives every away day and celebration.
-
No Cracking: Because the ink is fused directly into the cotton fibers, the design remains flexible and won't crack or split when the fabric stretches.
-
No Peeling: Forget thick, plastic-like transfers that lift over time. This print is permanent and feels like a natural part of the shirt.
-
High-Definition Detail: From the texture of the brickwork to the subtle reflections on the wet pavement, DTG captures every artistic nuance with incredible clarity.

The Spirit of the Terrace
This isn't just a t-shirt; it's a tribute to the subculture. Whether you're waiting for your mates outside the turnstiles or heading to the pub, this tee offers the perfect blend of casual style and long-lasting quality.
This lightweight cotton tee carries a quiet, urban story — a lone figure sitting on a rooftop, earbuds in, city brick and dusk behind them. The image sits centered on a soft black shirt, lending a low-key, contemplative vibe that layers effortlessly under a jacket or stands alone with jeans. It’s made to be lived in: breathable, smooth fabric with a classic crew neckline and clean, tear-away label so nothing distracts from the moment the design evokes. Wear it when you want music, memory, or a late-night walk to feel part of the scene.

Collapsible content
What materials are used for the t-shirt?
Our t-shirts are made from 100% premium combed and ring-spun cotton for a soft, comfortable feel that's durable and breathable. The fabric weight is approximately 4.2 oz/yd² (142 g/m²), making it lightweight yet sturdy for all-day wear. It's pre-shrunk to minimize shrinkage after washing.
How is the t-shirt printed?
This t-shirt is printed using Direct-to-Garment (DTG) technology, which applies eco-friendly, water-based inks directly onto the fabric. DTG ensures vibrant, high-resolution colors that feel soft to the touch (no thick, plasticky feel like screen printing). The print is designed to last through multiple washes without cracking or fading when cared for properly.
What colors and sizes are available?
The "This Is Not a Drill" design is available in four classic colors: White, Light Blue, Sand (beige), and Heather Gray. Sizes range from S to 3XL for a unisex fit. We recommend checking our size chart for measurements—chest width and length—to find your perfect fit.
Is this t-shirt true to size?
Yes, it features a standard unisex fit that's true to size for most people. If you prefer a looser fit, size up; for a more fitted look, stick to your usual size. Our size chart includes body length, chest width, and sleeve length to help you decide. If you're between sizes, we suggest going with the larger one for comfort.
