Knowing Franky it wouldn't surprise me if he wore a t-shirt to convey that message. Please note that HenTai can also be interpreted as a 'shapeshifter' which he is, being a cyborg and all..

 Some argue that the image is an hint to the real name of the Gum Gum fruit and its nature. If you read the letters in an N pattern you get Hito. N would be the initials of Nika, and the sun a reference to his title as the &quot;Sun God&quot;.</p>

SPArcheon - on strike
<p>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.</p>

<p>The print on Franky's shirt reads something like "<strong>I☀HT</strong>". 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?</p>

I'm pretty sure that it's supposed to be a sun.  Like those shirts that say "I <3 NY".  So "I (sun) {something}" - "HoT", maybe?

I'm not sure, but I found this IoHT is acronym for Institute of Human Thermodynamics, [see here.](http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/IoHT) Or maybe not, I don't know :D

This could potentially be a sneak reference to Jack Sun, The general manager of HT-Tools

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?

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.
