The art of
the custom t-shirt

The custom t-shirt has been around for some time, but not until the 90’s and 2000’s did it really take off. If you ever seen Grease or the Outsiders, you see the greasers wearing their leather jacket with their slicked back hair and white t-shirt underneath. That white t-shirt is in fact a custom t-shirt. Just because it has no logo on it, did not mean it wasn’t classified as a custom t-shirt.

The custom t-shirt as we know it today is known to have some kind of statement or well known name or logo on it. The Design-Your-Own-Custom T-Shirt really took the game to a whole different level. Men and Women all over jumped online to create their favorite slogan or logo, and felt a sense of pride since it was literally their custom t-shirt.

Some of the famous custom t-shirt designs are: “Im with Stupid”, “Jesus is my Homeboy”, “Make 7-Up Yours”, “Where’s the Beef”, “Hug it Out”, and much much more.  

Custom T-shirts were also used in political campaigns as a walking advertisement for a presidential candidate. Eventually bands started marketing themselves through Custom T-shirts, followed by movies, television, and then eventually Custom T-shirts took over the garment industry. 

The real cash cow in regards to custom t-shirts is the humorous t-shirt. If you walk around a boardwalk in the summer-time and there are t-shirt shops, you will be sure to see hundreds of custom t-shirts with humorous taglines and sayings.
