The Pope Being A Sox Fan Still Beats Being A Cardinal Shirt – When the Pope’s Team Beats the Cardinals
With the historic election of Chicago native Robert Francis Prevost as Pope Leo XIV on May 8, 2025—the first American ever to assume the papacy—this shirt bridges a moment of global significance with a humorous nod to baseball rivalries deeply entrenched in American identity.

Playing on the dual meaning of “Cardinal”—a title held by senior Catholic Church officials and a beloved MLB team from St. Louis—the design cheekily suggests that even in his new role as the head of the Catholic Church, Pope Leo XIV’s Chicago baseball allegiance holds strong. For fans of the White Sox, the message is clear and hilarious: it’s still better to be a Sox fan than a Cardinal, no matter what robe you wear.
This The Pope Being A Sox Fan Still Beats Being A Cardinal Shirt is more than just a pun—it’s a cultural statement. It’s perfect for anyone who appreciates sharp humor, baseball, or an unforgettable moment in religious history.
