40/40 CLUB SHIRT

Forty home runs. Forty stolen bases. One season no Chicago Cub had ever produced before.

The 40/40 CLUB SHIRT turns Pete Crow-Armstrong’s historic 2026 breakthrough into a graphic that explains the achievement without needing a long slogan. One PCA illustration is built around the swing that produced 40-plus home runs; another shows the speed and aggression behind 40-plus stolen bases. Giant 40 / 40 numbers hold both sides together.

On September 24 at Wrigley Field, Crow-Armstrong officially became the first player in Cubs history — and only the seventh player in Major League history — to enter the 40/40 Club. MLB.com

Storytelling

PCA had already completed the difficult half weeks earlier.

On September 6 in Miami, Crow-Armstrong launched his 40th home run of the season. That made him only the 10th Cubs player ever to reach 40 homers and the first left-handed Chicago hitter to do it since Hall of Famer Billy Williams hit 42 in 1970. He was also the first Cub to reach 40 since Derrek Lee in 2005. MLB.com

The stolen-base side took longer.

By September 24, PCA entered the Cubs’ home game against Miami sitting at 45 home runs and 39 stolen bases. He walked to begin the bottom of the first inning. With Seiya Suzuki at the plate, Crow-Armstrong took off immediately and beat the play at second.

Steal No. 40.

History.

The crowd at Wrigley understood the number instantly. Crow-Armstrong had just joined José Canseco, Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Alfonso Soriano, Ronald Acuña Jr. and Shohei Ohtani in one of baseball’s most exclusive power-speed clubs. Ohtani eventually pushed the concept even further with the first 50/50 season, but 40/40 remains one of the clearest statistical symbols of a player who can dominate a game with both his bat and his legs. MLB.com

The timing made the achievement even better.

Chicago beat the Marlins 2-1 that afternoon and clinched its second consecutive postseason appearance on the same day PCA reached 40 steals. The individual milestone and the team celebration became part of the same Wrigley Field memory. KSL

And Crow-Armstrong did not stop at the round numbers. He finished the regular season with 45 home runs, 41 stolen bases, 119 runs, 107 RBIs and a .942 OPS across 161 games. MLB.com

That is why the design works best as 40/40, not simply “PCA 2026.” Those two numbers summarize the rare combination that defined the season.

Product Description

The 40/40 CLUB SHIRT – Pete Crow-Armstrong Cubs Power & Speed Tee celebrates PCA through two completely different baseball actions.

The upper illustration represents power: Crow-Armstrong rotates through a hard swing as the huge first “40” establishes the home-run achievement.

The lower figure represents speed. PCA stretches out in a low sliding pose, visually connecting the second 40 to stolen bases.

Rather than describing him with generic words like “five-tool player,” the artwork shows exactly why the milestone matters. One player supplied both sides.

Visual Interpretation

The design sits on a royal-blue Cubs-style shirt base with red, white and navy artwork.

A huge 40 fills the upper-left portion of the graphic, accompanied by a small vertical HR label. The number uses red, white and blue treatments with textured shading that gives it a modern sports-poster feel.

Another oversized 40 sits beneath it with a vertical SB marker, creating an immediate visual equation: 40 HR, 40 SB.

Crow-Armstrong’s main batting illustration overlaps the numbers, wearing a pinstriped baseball uniform, dark helmet and red batting gloves. His body twists aggressively through the swing.

A second, smaller PCA figure slides underneath the main image, representing the speed half of the milestone.

At the bottom, PETE CROW-ARMSTRONG appears in spaced white lettering between small red stars.
