Baby Bodysuit — "Chafe Your Dreams" Running Club Infant Onesie

CHAFE YOUR DREAMS — now available for the smallest member of the running club.

For babies born into families who know that running is less “chase your dreams” and more chafe your dreams.

🏃‍➡️🚼This funny running baby bodysuit takes the original Deadpan & Paper Chafe Your Dreams Running Club design and shrinks it down for the next generation of questionable athletic decision-making.

Designed with a distressed retro running-club look inspired by vintage race graphics, this makes a funny runner baby shower gift, newborn present for running parents, marathon-family gift, or matching outfit for the parent already wearing the original Chafe Your Dreams tee.

PAIR IT WITH THE ORIGINAL

The adult Chafe Your Dreams Running Club tee is available separately in the Deadpan & Paper shop, making the two a particularly ridiculous—and excellent—matching parent-and-baby set. Find it here: https://deadpanandpaper.etsy.com/listing/4548045351

Perfect for:

• runner moms and runner dads

• running-club families

• marathon and race-day families

• baby shower gifts for runners

• newborn gifts for athletic parents

• matching parent-and-baby outfits

• babies who have absolutely no idea what a 5K is yet

THE DESIGN

The artwork combines a distressed vintage-style runner illustration, retro racing stripes, and original CHAFE YOUR DREAMS RUNNING CLUB typography for the look of a running club that probably existed in 1972 and absolutely should not have.

The result is a retro running baby outfit that feels much more like an old thrift-store athletic graphic than typical baby apparel.

🎁👶A VERY SPECIFIC BABY GIFT

This one is especially good for the person shopping for:

a runner baby shower gift,

a baby gift for marathon runners,

a runner mom or runner dad gift,

a funny athletic baby outfit,

a newborn gift for runners,

or a matching running-family outfit.

In other words: if the baby's parents willingly wake up before sunrise to run several miles, you've found your gift.

MADE TO ORDER
