The print on Franky's shirt reads something like " **I☀HT** ". I Googled about
it and nothing came up. Also, I have checked the One Piece Wikia page and it
doesn't have any details about the logo. What does it mean and does it have
any significance?

What does the print on Franky's shirt mean?


Some comments on [a chapter review in
Japanese](https://web.archive.org/web/20170804185837/https://onepiece-
log.com/blog-entry-230.html) suggest that the sun is a reference to the rising
sun, so "AM", as in "in the morning"/"Ante Meridian". It then becomes "I AM
HT". HT would be the acronym of 変態 (HenTai) or pervert.

So that would mean the T-shirt is actually subtly saying **" I am a
pervert"**.

The most relevant abbreviation of "HT" I found was "Hull Maintenance
Technician", which is a US Navy occupational rating.

Though now that I think about it, the "I AM HenTai" makes more sense for
Franky after all.

It’s a symbolization of the Haki that’s going to be coming out in the new
chapters. I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be a new type most likely starting with
the letter T.

There is also another theory that became pretty common online in the light of
recent events in the manga that should be mentioned for sake of completion.

spoilers ahead: do not read if you haven't seen the full Wano arc

Obviously I don't know how realistic this is.  
On one side many fans see Oda as someone who loves to foreshadows mayor plots
elements VERY ahead of time: Shanks uses _haki_ in the first issue of the
manga, Eneru probably used a form of haki too (and his "kami" form was
probably an awakened fruit)... Yet other fans also claim that most of these
are postumous-retcons crafted to give bigger significance to older plot
elements. And other groups even go as far to claim that Oda is quite toxic and
would go as far as rewrite his own plot and trashing entire characters if
someone "dared" to make a correct theory on future plot elements (usually
Carrot/Yamato and the Zodiac crew members theory is mentioned in such claims).

To put it shortly: **I am not sure at all that the claims in the spoiler can
be considered true at all**. Probably it is an intricate case of
[pareidolia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia) \- an attempt to give
some reasoning to something that probably was just a random joke.
