I’ve had many people ask me about my Team No Babies hoodie, and while I was never really trying to keep it a secret, I did want to a) keep everything more or less uniform, and b) receive credit for the idea. So, here’s the deal: I am now an affiliate of Neighborhoodies. If you’d like your very own Team hoodie, I simply ask that you follow the link from my page – that’s it. How your hoodie looks is completely up to you. You choose the colour, style, font, and graphics (if any at all) – it’s all your decision. I only ask two things: that you use the link below, and that if someone asks you where you got that incredible hoodie, you direct them to teamnobabies.com (which currently points to my blog but will soon point to this post).
Now, team up!
Team No Babies
Children are not for you. Your nightmares revolve around diaper bags and being called mommy by small, sticky creatures. You don’t necessarily hate children; you just don’t want them to come out of you. It’s okay. We get it. We’re just like you. More power to the mothers of the world, but we’ll be over here enjoying our theoretical power suits and disposable income.
Team Yes Babies
Babies! Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but babies are definitely in your future. You may be in the planning stages or perhaps already expecting – but one thing is for certain: you want babies, you will have babies, and you couldn’t be more excited. The deep sense of personal satisfaction that your body can create and bring forth life gives you butterflies. Sleepless nights and diaper rash? BRING THEM ON!
Team Maybe Babies
You’re sitting on the fence, and that’s just fine. Babies might be in your future – but then again, so might a good turkey sandwich. Maybe you’ve given it a lot of thought, or maybe you just plain don’t know – either way, Team Maybe Babies is for the undecided and unsure. We love our hesitant sisters!
Team No More Babies
You’ve been there. You have the t-shirt and at least one child to prove it. You’re quitting while you’re ahead. You gave at the office. Whatever your reasons, you’ve done your part for the guaranteed existence of mankind and you’ve earned your rest and possibly a hoodie. You took one (or more) for the team, and we salute you for it!
NEW! Team Babies By Proxy
Through no fault of your own, you have babies! They were sort of a package deal – you love your Significant Other, therefore, you love his or her children. You’re a Step – mom or dad; that’s up to you – and you’re in that fuzzy gray area of “yes, these are mine, but I didn’t MAKE them”. Love them or hate them (hopefully love), you’ve got someone’s kids and they’re as good as yours (whether it’s full time or just on weekends). You deserve a Team too, even if this isn’t where you saw yourself when you were 7. Suit up and join the fun!
My personal Team No Babies hoodie is the following:
- Style: Sugarhill
- Customization: Pressed (as opposed to stitched)
- Font Style: Original
- Text Position: Front Center
- Graphics: NO (circle with the line through it)
- Graphic Size: Huge
- Location: Back Center
While the graphic on the back is up to you, this is sort of what I envisioned for the various teams:
I blanked on the last one – there are so many graphics to choose from that I couldn’t decide what best embodied the whole “I’m done” philosophy. Choose your own! Embrace your right to choose and wear it both loud AND proud!

If my rather large baby didn’t take up most of my monies, I’d be getting one of the NO MORE! hoodies – and I love the martini graphic! Yeeaahh!
I’m currently debating whether or not to get the “No More” shirt – at least in a biological sense. I have a two-year-old girl, and though she’s a fairly “easy” child, I know I don’t have the energy or resources for another one for at least a few more years. And by that time I’ll be about 44 and either a.) menopausal, or b.) at higher risk of conceiving a child with Down Syndrome, in which case I’d be faced with the choice of either aborting (which I don’t necessarily oppose in principle, but which would be difficult to take on in the case of a deliberate pregnancy) or raising a Down Syndrome child (which I know is not a picnic; my aunt and uncle have been there). I’m still open to adoption, but knowing how difficult it is to adopt I may just be choosing the “No More” shirt!
I think I’ll be choosing the “Team No More Babies” shirt for sure now. I’m actually perimenopausal at the moment, and frankly, I don’t really have any desire for another biological child even in the event I could have one. And I’m open to adoption in theory, but realistically I know my chances of adopting are practically nil, for a number of reasons. Perhaps the only way I’d have another “baby” in my life is if something happened to my brother and his wife and I took in the kids. But even then I’d be their aunt, not their mom. So I’ll choose Team No More Babies.
