Curling T-shirts – Share the Love of this unique sport

Leave a reply

Not everyone out there can appreciate such a sophisticated sport as curling. It takes concentration, determination, balance, and patience. Not minding the cold helps out, too. Curling isn’t a sport that gets much media in the south; not many folks in the southern parts of the US have even heard of it, much less follow the progress of its players and teams.

There are lots of you, though, who do. That’s where curling t-shirts come in. Maybe your children play on a curling team at high school. They’re actually pretty good, and are heading to the regional championships. The best way to show your support for the curling team is to wear a custom-designed tee. While it may be too cold to wear out on the ice, it definitely has a place at pre-game pep rallies and after-match celebrations.

Show team unity by getting matching tees for everyone on the team, including coaches, team parents and regular supporters or fans. Appearing, en masse, dressed in matching t-shirts, will sure to communicate unity and a winning attitude to the opposing teams.

When it’s time for training camp, ordering some matching tees will help new players feel more a part of the team they are working with. More experienced team members can gain benefit, too, they’ve got a tee just like the newbies, and they’re all in it together! If possible, having a different shirt for each day of camp will go a long way towards fostering team spirit and unity.

In addition, the shirts can be reused for public appearances when full curling uniforms aren’t required. (Golf tournaments, city tours in places you are competing, etc…) Try wearing your matching tees for website photos–they’ll give your publicity shots continuity and will draw the eye of the even casual surfer to look more closely at your site. Who knows? You may draw a brand-new curling fan to the ranks.

If curling is really big in your town, city, or even at your university or high school, selling matching tees is a great way to raise funds as needed. Fans want to show off who they love, and won’t hesitate to buy a tee that not only proclaims their passions for curling and the ice but which also shows which teams are the best.

For kids, getting matching tees for the whole family is a great way to show your support. Even if they act like they’re embarrassed, they’ll secretly be thrilled that everyone has turned out to watch them at their next match, and aren’t afraid to show their support by wearing matching, custom-designed tees.

So, whether you are a player, a fan, a family member, or anyone else involved in the sport of curling, a curling tee is right for you. You can wear it to a match, pep rally, after-match party, for publicity shots and just around the house. No matter what your level of involvement, a curling tee is the only thing you should wear.

Share the Love or Anti-Love with a Valentine T-Shirt

Leave a reply

Well, here it comes, February 14th. Are you ready? Do you have your outfit planned? Are you going out for a romantic evening, or hanging out with the family? Well, if it’s the latter, you might want to outfit the entire family with a Valentine t-shirt!

There are lots of choices available. The most popular colors are pink, purple, red, white and even light blue. Color choice will depend on who’s going to be wearing the shirt.

Kids especially like to wear fun t-shirts to school; it’s easy to outfit them in a tee of their choice for the big day. Kids will like tees that have cute conversational hearts on them, with sayings such as Be Mine, Cute, or Cool. Other t-shirts the kids might enjoy could have a big red heart on the front, with their favorite kind of dog or cat, saying something like, “I Love My Lab!”

For the grown-ups, tees showing Cupid and star-crossed lovers might be desired. Others might bear the saying, “I still believe in love”, “Love is a Two-Way Street”, or “Be My Valentine”.

Young men (or the older guys, too) might choose Valentine’s Day to propose. For those who want a rather whimsical approach, why not try wearing a tee that pops the question for him? He can ask the girl to meet him in a crowded place like the mall, a club, or at a sporting event. Then, he can weave his way through the crowd to her side. Or, maybe he can get himself up on the JumboTron where the whole world can see his intentions.

There are any number of animals associated with Valentine’s Day. Almost any critter can convey a Valentine’s wish. There’s even a shirt out there with a cactus, a porcupine, and the words “True Love”! Teddy bears and kittens are popular choices, but frogs with hearts in their eyes and smooching monkeys can also be found on the more unusual Valentine’s tees.

Some t-shirts are rather simple and understated. They show a simple heart or two; just enough to show that the wearer feels the love. Even the simple word “Love” is enough to let others know that you enjoy the holiday.

Then there are suggestive tees. These shirts display how attractive the wearer of the shirt finds others. Some examples are:
“You’re so hot you’d make the devil sweat”
“If I could rearrange the alphabet, I’d U next to I” and
“Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?”

Of course, Valentine’s Day, like any other holiday, has its detractors. The cynical, the lonely, the newly single and the folks who have never been in love may all fall into this category. Some folks might choose to express their opinions with:
“Valentines Schmalentines”
“I Never Loved Him Anyway”
“Cupid Rhymes with Stupid”, and there’s always
“I see no reason to celebrate VD”.

No matter your mood or how you feel about February 14th, you can see that there’s a way to express it. Just pull a t-shirt on over your head and let the world know about it!

Make Your Valentine Yours with a Special Valentine’s Day T-Shirt!

Leave a reply

Not sure what to get that special someone on Valentine’s Day? Tired of the usual gifts like chocolate, candy, and flowers? Or maybe your Valentine is actually allergic to chocolate and flowers! But you want to show your affection and love on this special day. What’s a sweetheart to do?

Think about this option: if you design a t-shirt for your Valentine, you can show your love, creativity, and commitment all in the same gift. The time and thought you put into the design of the t-shirt will be crystal clear to your Valentine, right off the bat. Better yet, you can customize the t-shirt to your special someone’s tastes; not only are the size and style of the shirt up to you, but you also have endless supplies of choices to make on the images, text, and layout of the t-shirt.

Many people like to start out with a favorite picture of themselves with the object of their affection. Remind your honey of that trip you took to Hawaii, of your wedding day, or of your first date with a picture included into the t-shirt design. You can add a quote about love, or maybe the lyrics to “your” song—the song you share with your Valentine. Don’t have a song? No problem—any song that reminds you of the way your loved one makes you feel, or expresses your feelings to your loved one, will do just fine. If you’re really looking to impress, you could even write your own poem to put on the t-shirt.

For the younger crowd, another Valentine’s Day t-shirt idea would be to make t-shirts for your class! Imagine how surprised your classmates would be to find t-shirts designed by you in their Valentine’s bags. I don’t know about you, but that sounds better to me than just another mini candy bar! A t-shirt lasts forever and will remind your classmates of that Valentine’s Day in school.

If you’re planning to make t-shirts for your whole class, you should probably just make one design. This way, everyone’s t-shirts will match, and you won’t go crazy trying to come up with a custom design for each person in your class. Valentine’s Day t-shirts for an entire class probably won’t be as affectionate as a t-shirt you’d make for, say, your husband or wife. But there are still plenty of positive messages to express to your friends and classmates. Try finding a good, classic Valentine’s Day image, of a heart, or Cupid, or even just a design with the colors red, white, and pink. If your class has any kind of slogan or mascot, you could add that. Make sure to put the teacher’s name and the year on the t-shirt too. That way everyone will remember when they got their special Valentine’s Day t-shirts!

Whatever you decide to do, make sure you have fun designing your t-shirts. That’s the whole point: to have fun and enjoy giving to the people that are important to you!

Top Ten Reasons to Get Custom Tees for Your School

Leave a reply

Number 10: Field Trips…Ever been to the zoo or the museum during a weekday? Chances are you’ll see a school group or two on a field trip. It’s easy to identify them; they are usually little knots of kids wearing name tags or matching t-shirts. This is one of the top ten reasons that people get custom designed t-shirts for kids.

Number 9: Safety Patrols…Remember the safety patrols? You might have even been one. That bright yellow or orange belt and crossing guard flag were the emblems of school safety. That shiny silver badge showed all the other kids that YOU were in charge of the halls. Back in the day, patrols wore plain white shirts and dark pants. Today, fashion has taken over. Some patrol groups wear school uniforms with their names and job titles embroidered on the chest. But why not custom tees? Patrols could even design their own, and show their pride in their job at the same time.

Number 8: Band Geeks…These guys love to blow their own horn, and why not prove it with a great custom tee as well? Possibilities for these school t-shirts are nearly endless; graphics of the instrument a kids plays, name of the band, the school colors with some music notes, the name of the half time show, the list goes on and on. Band boosters, the parents who help support the band can also have matching custom-designed tees identifying their place in the organization.

Number 7: Club Tees…For all the kids in all the different clubs, having a custom tee is the way to go. It will easily identify who’s who and what’s what with a t-shirt that shows the student’s favorite club on campus.

Number 6: Athletic Tees…OK, while this one may seem obvious, it’s necessary to give it a nod on the top ten list. Playing a sport is all about being part of a team, and what contributes more to that feeling than wearing the same shirt as your quarterback or pitcher? Custom designing a t-shirt for the school’s basketball team, for example, is a good way to draw everyone together.

Number 5: Class Designs…Kids love to draw and paint, and for the more adventurous teachers, kids can draw and paint and then have the artwork printed right on their clothes! Doing a special Christmas design, say, can help the students make a great gift for grandpa.

Number 4: Teachers…Yes, even teachers can wear custom-designed t-shirts. Many schools have “Casual Friday”, and it’s a great opportunity for the teachers to band together and wear tees that show that they are committed to their school. They can be designed with the school seal or mascot and handed out during pre-planning at the beginning of the school year.

Number 3: Graduation…Graduation from high school is filled with special events and happenings. Why not have a t-shirt that commemorates this special time of a student’s school career? Emblazoned with the school song, and perhaps everyone’s name in the senior class, it is a shirt that everyone will treasure.

Number 2: PTA Members…Having the members of the PTA decked out in matching tees is a great idea, especially for PTA-sponsored events like Science Night or the Fall Festival. This makes them easily identifiable to anyone who may need their assistance.

Number 1: Drum Roll, please…….Fund-Raisers! The best reason to have custom-designed t-shirts for schools is so you can sell them for fund-raisers! Each year, students could submit different designs for a contest, and then the winner’s designs can be printed up on a tee. It could then be sold to benefit the school–the patrols, the football team, the library, etc…

Any way you look at it, there are tons of great reasons to get custom-designed t-shirts for your school!

Hang Gliders Flaunt Their Adventures with Custom T-Shirts

Leave a reply

Hang gliding is a unique sport in which participants are strapped into a harness and operate an aircraft, which is not mechanically or electrically powered. These lightweight aircrafts typically consist of a metal frame, fabric wings and a harness for the pilot of the aircraft. These aircraft are powered by the wind and a skilled pilot can navigate wind current to stay in the air for several hours and even perform tricks and increase elevation. However, first time hang gliders will likely only spend a few minutes in the air before coming to a landing which is hopefully uneventful. Understandably a first hang gliding adventure can be a monumental occasion which is why many first time participants mark the occasion with custom hang gliding t-shirts.

Many hang gliders like to design t-shirts that feature the location for their most recent hang gliding adventure. Hang gliders sometimes also create a t-shirt with a simple text message flaunting their accomplishment or may opt for a custom hang gliding t-shirt showing a photo of them in the air. The t-shirts become excellent memento and conversation piece of the occasion after the adventure is completed.

Another option for designing a custom hang gliding t-shirt is to create a t-shirt with an inspirational image or quotation upside down on the t-shirt. This can be an image of a loved one, a scenic location or anything that inspires the individual. An inspirational message may be a name, a quotation, dates or anything else that is meaningful to the hang glider. By placing the image or text upside down it will enable the hang glider to view the image or text while hang gliding. This is significant because it can provide the hang glider with the courage to start the adventure and the will to continue the adventure once they have started.

T-Shirts for the Leprechaun in All of Us – Create a St. Patrick’s Day T-Shirt

Leave a reply

Whether you are Irish, have Irish ancestors, or just love St. Patrick’s Day and all the fun it has to offer, an Irish t-shirt is for you. The possibilities are endless.

Lots of people are into genealogy these days. For those who have Irish roots, try a shirt that has your family name and coat of arms on the front. These coats of arms are of high interest, especially for people who really get into the history of their families.

Another option for Irish shirts is the quintessential “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” tee. Seen mostly at St. Patrick’s Day, they are usually green but can be any color. A shamrock is typically seen at the side of this popular saying.

Some folks like to brag about their heritage. Pregnant women can wear a shirt that says “Irish Blessing”. Another one is “Irish to the Bone”, and can show some green skeletons.
Or, you can get one that simply says “Ireland”. It’s your choice!

Young lads and lassies would like to wear their very own shamrock clothes, and maybe would enjoy a t-shirt covered with “leprechaun tracks”. You can even do this one yourself with some green ink and your thumbprint.

Other kinds of Irish tees might have sayings associated with the green isle. For example, “Slainte” is one, as well as “It’s 5 o’clock Somewhere”…alluding to the widely-held belief that the Irish are a great beer-drinking culture. Guinness t-shirts are especially popular, even around St. Patrick’s Day. If you’re heading out for a St. Patrick’s Day parade, try customizing a t-shirt with a graphic of a frosty pint of green beer!

For the person who wants to get more specific in his or her Irish sayings, they can try any number of blessings (and curses) for their t-shirts:

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be ever at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And the rain fall softly on your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.”

Another blessing:

May you have the hindsight to know where you’ve been,
The foresight to know where you are going,
And the insight to know when you have gone too far.

A final blessing to consider:

May flowers always line you path and sunshine light your day.
May songbirds serenade you every step of the way.
May a rainbow run beside you in a sky that’s always blue,
And may happiness fill your heart each day your whole life through.

And the Curse:

May those that love us, love us,
And those that don’t love us
May god turn their hearts;
If he can’t turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles so
We’ll know them by their limping!

No matter how you want to celebrate being Irish, having Irish ancestors, or the great partying holiday of St. Patrick’s Day, pull on a t-shirt and show that you’re “Proud to Be Irish!”

Celebrate your Love for Beer with a Beer Inspired T-shirt

Leave a reply

A large part of the population enjoys a drink or two at the end of a long day or week at work. Whether meeting friends at the local watering hole or relaxing with a cold one in front of the TV, many folks toss back a beer at some time or another. Since you’re reading this, you probably do, too.

While most bars don’t sell t-shirts, you can get them lots of other places. Lots of people wear t-shirts that advertise to the world what they love; beer drinkers love beer, so why not a beer tee? Try shopping for a t-shirt on-line; it’s the best way to find just the shirt you’re looking for, all from the comfort of your own home. Or better, yet, design your own, unique tee at a custom t-shirt site. Not only can you share your love of your favorite beer, no one else will have a shirt like yours!

Coming in all colors, designs, and sizes, a beer t-shirt is a great way to show off your favorite adult beverage. Say, for example, that you love Guinness. You can wear a t-shirt that’s a lovely shade of dark, dark brown with a pint on the front.

Designing your own custom beer tee is really quite easy. You don’t have to be an artist at all; you only need to have a basic idea of what you want and a little bit of time to look through all the possibilities available to you on the company’s website. You’ll be able to choose from almost any color, style or size. Then, it’s of to the art gallery for you. You can narrow your search through the site’s search engine in order to find just what you’re looking for.

Maybe you don’t have any idea what you’re looking for, but just want a beer tee. Try looking through the t-shirt designs submitted by folks just like you. While you probably don’t want a shirt exactly like someone else’s, you can get inspiration from the ideas of others.

So, sit back and have fun. Create your own custom beer t-shirt. You might even go to the fridge and get a cold one. Cheers!

Have Fun Dressing Your Baby Up in Personalized T-Shirts

Leave a reply

You know you have the cutest baby in the world, and she doesn’t need any help getting attention. But as long she’s wearing diapers and eating strained peaches, she might need a little help expressing herself to the general public. You can help her tell the world what she’s all about with a personalized t-shirt.

Personalized t-shirts are a great way to make a joke, send a message, or just liven up your baby’s wardrobe. They’re fun for Baby to wear, they’re fun for Mom and Dad to design, and they’re fun for the people you meet on the street to see. Personalized t-shirts also make a great baby shower or birthday gift. An enterprising aunt, uncle, or friend can stock a baby’s wardrobe with soft, colorful expressions of his developing personality.

The possibilities for designs are limited only by your imagination. Taking a photo for your birth announcements? Why not let the t-shirt do the work–print your baby’s name, length, weight, and birth date right on his outfit. Help your little one show the world he knows which side his bread his buttered on–dress him in a shirt that says, “I love Mommy and Daddy!” If your baby girl is a real princess, dress her in a pink tee adorned with a golden tiara. If she’s a future Harvard MBA or Supreme Court Justice, put the world on notice. Grandparents can get in on the act as well, creating personalized t-shirts that make public their intention to spoil their grandbabies.

Personalized t-shirts are also a great way to celebrate the all of the special “firsts” in your baby’s life. You can memorialize his first Christmas, his first birthday, his first steps, his first tooth, his first pet, his first haircut, or the arrival of his first sibling with a custom t-shirt. In the years to come, these personalized t-shirts will serve as a poignant reminder of how much your baby grew during his first couple of years.

All of the tots in the sandbox are adorable. But no two are exactly the same. Anyone can see your baby’s distinctive features–curly hair, no hair, freckles, big blue eyes, curious brown eyes, that magical gummy smile. Such a special baby deserves a special, one-of-a-kind wardrobe. You can have fun helping your baby stand out before he can even stand up by designing a t-shirt that captures his unique personality.

Before too long, your wee one will be able to tell you all about her world–what she sees, where she goes, who she likes. She’ll head off to school, and learn to read and write. And in the blink of an eye, your little bundle of joy will be a full-grown teenager, who drives a car, goes on dates, talks on the phone, and doesn’t hesitate to share her opinions with Mom and Dad. But until she can speak for herself, a personalized t-shirt is a great way to help her communicate with the world.

Creating and Wearing T-Shirts to Raise Awareness

Leave a reply

“Walk for Bust!”
“You don’t scare me: I’m a cancer survivor”
“New and Improved: Now Cancer Free”

You’ve seen the catchy slogans dot the street whenever tens of thousands of women march to raise awareness for breast cancer. It’s hard to miss the messages from survivors and supporters. Even if a woman is wearing her shirt while shopping alone at the grocery store, that t-shirt sends a message to all shoppers to do their part to help. That could mean participating in a local event, making a donation or a reminder to all women to do a simple breast check.

The shirts not only raise awareness to people driving and walking by, they unite and empower participants. A transformation takes place when a patient, survivor, or caretaker puts on a t-shirt that says, “Beating Cancer, Priceless” or “Squeeze a boob: Save a life.” Some shirts make us laugh while others are provocative and feisty. They send clear messages about beating cancer, raising awareness and the camaraderie that goes with being a survivor.

The best part is that most of the money raised from the sale of Breast Cancer awareness shirts actually go toward helping patients, research for a cure and prevention education. You can buy shirts from organizations like the American Cancer Society, Relay for Life and Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. You can also sell your own designs to make money for local and family organizations or to send a pool of cash to the big national groups in the name of your friends and family.

There are a lot of resources to buy t-shirts online. It’s typically easy and inexpensive to create and buy t-shirts over the internet. And, you can do the designing and shopping from the comfort of your own home. You can choose from a wide variety of shirt and ink colors, and you can customize shirts for your walking team or family by putting team names on the back. You can also create your own design decked with the face of your survivor. This allows you to get the exact t-shirt you want. And of course, the end result is quite professional, and will be something that you are proud to wear day in and day out.

With most online design sites it’s easy. You pick your t-shirt color, add text, pictures, and names. You can choose from ideas and ready-made art and slogans or use your own. Choose different styles and sleeve lengths. Then, get a quote. In some cases there is a minimum order. But, usually, the more t-shirts you buy, the better the discount. It typically takes about two weeks for your shirts to arrive.

For one group, the t-shirts started as support, turned into a fund raiser and then into an empowering memorial as they continued to raise money for cancer. Here’s what Ellen B. said about their custom t-shirts, “We originally made T-shits as a support to our hero and friend Sara who battled breast cancer twice. After so much interest we upped the order and developed a fund raiser for her and her family. We sold over 100 shirts and provided the family a means to help pay for medical expenses. We wore our shirts during the Relay for Life event. Sara came to cheer us on. We took a team photo and now it’s on this year’s team t-shirts. Sara died this year. But, we honor her and wear her memory as walk this year. We are very proud to have known her and what it means to give support to a family who is in need. The T-shirts were and still are a voice in her honor.”

Spice Up Your Bachelorette Party with Customized T-Shirts

Leave a reply

Make customized t-shirts for the bride and all the bridesmaids! Online you’ll find a treasure trove of ideas.

“Brides night out: Please spank me.”
“Warning: Bachelorette party in progress. Bridal party may be extremely hot.”
“Buy me a shot, I’m tying the knot”

With custom-made t-shirts, everyone will notice the ladies in the bridal party! Count on extra attention from bartenders and drink buyers.

Raise cash for your bride’s drinks with a “Buck a Suck” t-shirt and add your own lollipops. Or, perhaps, “We’re naughty and nice.” And, don’t forget shirts for the bridesmaids, friends and family. Try some of these ideas.

“I’m with the party. Buy me a drink, but don’t expect anything.”
“Bride’s support staff.”
“Bridesmaid. Noun meaning Still Single.”

Make your shirts something to really remember the event with. Customize them with your bride’s picture. Add the date and location like “Michelle’s Bachelorette Party. Liv’s Lounge 2007.”

Does your group of girls have a favorite show or song? How about a phrase you’ve been saying since 11th grade? Still pining for members of Duran Duran? Use it on your shirt.

Try these ideas:
On the front: “Smack it up, flip it, rub it down.” On the back: “Do Me Baby. Laura’s Bachelorette Party. West Palm 2008.”

Use a photo of Rick Springfield from his heyday with “I’m saving myself for Rick Springfield. Barb’s Bach Party. Fisherman’s Warf.” You won’t believe how many drinks you’ll get from guys claiming to be the 80s pop star!

Get “I’m not a nun” plastered across the back of your bride’s shirt in the colors of your Catholic High School’s plaid.

It’s easy to do online, party organizers. Pick a classy tank top or baby doll tee. Pick from hot styles and colors so your bride looks her best. Find one with lace to go with the cheesy veil you’ve all bought for the night.

Then, select artwork that’s pre-designed online or add your own. Maybe a picture of your bride or all the girls from Spring Break. Or your high school or sorority logo. Then, choose fun text. Pick from ideas already online. Or, create your own slogans like “Laura’s Last Night. Vegas 2007.” and “Angie’s No Angel. NYC Bachelorette Party 2007.” Individualize each shirt with bridesmaids’ names.

Be sure to make your shirts a memory and get pictures of the whole party wearing them. Order extra shirts in bigger sizes to give out during your night of partying and for family and friends who couldn’t make it.

A few years from now when you have a girl’s weekend away, you can get the pictures out along with those of all your kids. MaryBeth Durgins friends took her to Atlantic City for a bachelorette party weekend. They stayed at her feisty grandmother’s nearby condo. The girls’ t-shirts said, “Girl’s Night Out. AC 2007.” They had a picture of MaryBeth with a margarita. They made 75 year old Gram her own special shirt. It said, “Gram’s Night Out. Experience Required” and had a picture of her with MaryBeth on the back. It was a huge hit! Now there’s a picture of the whole gang hanging over Gram’s fireplace.
Don’t miss this chance to give your bride a night she’ll remember with her own special t-shirt.

Show your Hometown Pride with a Custom T-Shirt

Leave a reply

Wear your colors! Show off your hometown pride with a customized t-shirt. The shirts are a great way to demonstrate your love for your neighborhood. Use them for special events, as fundraisers and to show off your affection for where you live.

When North Cumberland, Pennsylvania was celebrating its 175th Anniversary, t-shirts dotted the town. The anniversary committee designed a shirt with a sketch of the town’s beloved oak tree. It said, “Deep Roots and Still Growing.” The shirts were sold in all of the downtown shops to raise money for the celebration activities and the library. They were a huge hit at the annual Apple Festival where visitors come from all over the state to sample North Cumberland’s goods. The simple t-shirt brought in thousands of dollars for the town.

Hometown pride t-shirts make great gifts for friends and family, especially those who have moved out of town. They get to celebrate their roots and show off their true colors. They are a wonderful way for kids to take their town with them to college. And, these shirts are becoming quite trendy on campuses across the country.

Use the t-shirts as a way to advertise hometown businesses, charities and upcoming events. The downtown Kepsburg business group creates a new t-shirt for every summer. Each year, there’s a different picture of a town landmark with a list of summer events. They hold a contest for the summer’s slogan. Over the years, t-shirts have had sentimental slogans like “We Remember” with a picture of the old mill before it caught fire and burned to the ground that winter. Other years, have been fun summer themes like “Summer Slidin’” with a picture of the mayor on a park sliding board. A new playground had been put in that spring.

The t-shirts are sold in downtown shops and at all the events. Some neighbors have been collecting them for years! The t-shirts from years passed are considered vintage and are becoming quite hip with teenagers. A favorite with the kids is “Angie Watch 2003.” Angelina Jolie was in town for a week shooting a scene for a movie that year. And, every year, a few dozen “bonus” t-shirts are ordered. On the front, they simply say, “T-shirt XXXX (insert year).” On the back, “Kepsburg’s annual summer T. www.kepsburgdowntown.com.” The “rarities” sell for $25. Teenagers love them!

Use the t-shirts as a fundraiser. It could be for a new fire truck, to save the old theater or for a special event. Sell the t-shirts at area stores, the town hall, at events and your website. You can expect to raise about $5 a shirt. By using the website, people who’ve moved away can easily buy t-shirts, too, and show off their hometown pride wherever they live.

Customized t-shirts are easy to order online. Pick from pre-designed ideas or design your own. Pick sizes, styles and colors. Add photos, graphics or artwork and then text and names. Be sure to include your town’s website somewhere on the shirt. The more shirts you order, the bigger discount you can usually expect. It takes a couple weeks for your shirts to arrive.

Youth Groups – Create a custom t-shirt for your youth group

Leave a reply

Church members are already close to begin with. By sharing their spiritual time together, they feel a strengthened bond of friendship. If possible, however, the youth groups of a church are even closer than the ordinary congregation. The young people often grow up together in the environment of the church; they attend Bible studies, community outreach programs, and special retreats together. The group they form is usually strong and continues to grow through good times together.

The events that youth groups attend are wide ranging and varied. However, the one constant thing throughout their time is that they are always attending together. That’s why a custom t-shirt representing the youth group is such a cool idea. It can reflect the church they attend as well as the specific mission of the youth group. Small or large, the youth group will really enjoy having custom t-shirts made for them. It’s a form of expression; it allows them to display part of who they are. It’s also a form of identity and connection. If they attend a large gathering, it makes sense to have visual connectors that can help them stick together in crowds. Most importantly, though, it’s fun way to help them remember the times they have had together.

• Design–Since the shirt will belong to the group, a consensus should be reached on the display image. Custom t-shirt companies have many pre-drawn designs to choose from and can even alter the images they have to suit your preferences. On the other hand, to achieve total uniqueness, the youth group might want to come up with their own design. They could collaborate and really put some thought into what the t-shirt will mean to them. By involving the entire youth group, the custom t-shirt will be an incredible memory and mean that much more to them.
• Cost–Another perk about deciding to have custom t-shirts made for the youth group is that it’s a relatively inexpensive investment. Of course, the more elaborate the design and the larger the order, the price will go up accordingly. But overall, the price is very reasonable. You buy a minimum amount of shirts when you place your order and usually have no problem ordering the correct amount for all involved. Most of the custom t-shirt business is conducted over the internet. You place the order online and then the merchandise is shipped right to your door. It’s easy and efficient.
• Style–The custom t-shirts come in a variety of makes and models. The fits of the shirts must appeal to everyone interested. There are traditional t-shirts, form fitting t-shirts, baby doll, long sleeved, three quarter length sleeves etc. A variety of fits can be selected so that every youth can have access to a shirt that really grabs their interest.

All in all, youth groups should be able to take advantage of the custom t-shirts. They are a great way to commemorate time spent together, and a good way to have more fun together.

Whether it’s your day or you’re the party planner, custom t-shirts are a great way to celebrate.

Start with your little guy or girl’s first party. Customize a shirt with their picture and a cartoon bubble that says, “I’m 1!” Be sure to get extras for mom, dad, and grandparents. The cartoon bubble could say, “Where’s my cake?”

Customized t-shirts are a great way to celebrate any age. Start now and you and your family can have a collection by the time you turn 80! Use the birthday boy or girl’s photo and then find the perfect slogan to mark their age.

When they turn 16, try, “It’s my Sweet 16, Where’s my car?”
And just a few years later, “It’s my 21st birthday, buy me a drink!”
There are thousands of clever ideas online that you can use as inspiration and add your own unique touch to.

Use a picture of your birthday girl in a car with “1981 Classic”
“I demand a recount” with the birthday boy’s face.
On the front: “It took me 40 years to look this good”. On the back: “Marie’s Big 4-0. Gullifty’s Bar.”

Here are a few more ideas to run with.
“Fabulously 70.”
“I’m 50 and still accepting presents”
“How the f*%$ did I get to be 60”
“I’m the birthday boy”

Customized t-shirts also make festive party favors for everyone. Try “I’m with the old fart,” “I’m with the birthday girl,” or “Grandma of the bday boy.”

Does the birthday boy or girl have a favorite character? You can make a t-shirt with everyone from Sponge Bob to Austin Powers to Elvis. Maybe you have a favorite song, theme or phrase your group has been saying for ages. Use it to create a one of a kind t-shirt for your birthday celebration.

Everyone knew about Rose’s love for Frank Sinatra. When she walked into her surprise 50th birthday party, “My Way” was playing and she was handed a t-shirt. Under her picture, it said, “Doing it my way for 50 years!”

It’s easy to order your custom t-shirts online. Pick some artwork designed by the pros online or add your own pictures. Then, pick the text and add special touches like names and dates. Pick sizes, shirt styles and colors and get a quote. You can even see proofs so you can make changes online before you place your order. Plan ahead a bit. Customized t-shirts typically take about two weeks to arrive. Sometimes there is a minimum order, so be sure to get enough for the whole party.

One mom started customized bday shirts for her son at his first birthday. Now, that he’s
10, she’s making the old shirts into a quilt. It’s a time capsule of trends from the last 10 years!

When feisty Kate turned 90, her family ordered t-shirts for the whole retirement community when the time came for her birthday celebration. “Getting better with age. Kate’s 90th bday bash.” Residents wear their shirts with pride.

Get customized t-shirts for the bachelor party. All the guys can go out in style with no mistaking about what you’re celebrating. With everyone wearing their colors, there is sure to be plenty of attention from bartenders and the ladies!

Craft a custom t-shirt to remember the bachelor party. When you shop online you’ll find plenty of catchy slogans.

  • ”Last fling before the ring.”
  • ”Buy me a shot, before I tie the knot.” Greg Gordon scored free drinks for he and his buddies all night at a New York City bar with this one.
  • And, there’s plenty for the groom’s buddies.
  • “Grooms wingman”
  • ”Best man on so many levels”

Your choice. You can embarrass your groom or stir up some free drinks and other “last night out” freebies with a shirt like this: “Bachelor: last day single. 1. Give me a hug 2. Buy me a shot 3. Spank Me 4. Give me a kiss. 5. All of the above.”

You can also create your own just for your group of friends. Got a favorite team? Show? Or phrase you guys made up on the baseball field in 10th grade? Then design your own shirt. Put a picture of your bachelor on the back. Customize each shirt with nicknames and your party location. Try something like this. The back has a black and white picture of Ken with a martini. It says, “Ken’s Big Gamble. Vegas 2007.” On the front, each guy has his nickname embroidered. Or, get baseball jerseys that say “Team Smith” across the back shoulders, if you’re starting your party at the game.

It’s becoming more and more popular to organize your party with a website, if your group of friends is spread out around the country. If you’ve got a website, be sure to put it on the shirts. That way other party goers will know where to go to look for uploaded party pictures.

With online resources, it only takes a few minutes to put together your bachelor party t-shirt designs. Choose from all styles like popular retro and vintage shirts or sports style shirts and even the ever-popular bowling stripes. You pick the artwork, graphics or photos then add text and names. Pick colors and styles. You can actually see a mock-up of the shirt while you design it. That makes it simple to see what you like and make changes before you order the shirts. And, there’s real live people to call if you need help getting a design together. Typically you’ll find quick turnaround in case you order at the last minute.

The t-shirts are great for marking your group on your big night out. They are also great memories. When Danny Conlon’s buddies took him out the weekend before his wedding, they chose their favorite college bar along the shore. The shirts had a sketch of Danny with a beer mug. It said, “Danny’s Done! Fitzgeralds Bar. September 9th.” The guys bought enough shirts so all the bartenders could wear one too. They took a photo of everyone in their Bachelor Party t-shirts and now it hangs above the bar.
When you’re making plans for his last night out, don’t forget to order your customized t-shirts and make a night of laughs and memories to last a lifetime.

Or for more elaborate shirts, add a graphic such as sports player, a ball, hockey stick, or racket. For a fun shirt, make it a silly graphic like a racket smashed over someone’s head, a football stuck in a helmet, or a golf ball in an alligator’s mouth.

There are also teams that have nothing to do with sports. There are custom t-shirts for those types of teams as well. For Scrabble players, try Scrabble tiles with the team name. Checker players can be witty with “king me”. There are so many teams that it’s hard to name all of them in one article, but there is a custom t-shirt for everyone.

Why Create Custom Firefighter T-Shirts

Leave a reply

Do you have a loved one who is a firefighter? If so, then you know how much we as a community owe the men and women who put themselves on the line to keep their towns and cities safe. Whether your loved one is a volunteer or a full-time employee of the fire department, you can let them know how appreciative you are by making them a custom-made t-shirt, designed by you, highlighting the service they give to the community.

You could go a couple different directions with the t-shirt. You could just design a very straightforward, simple shirt that honors the firefighter wearing it. This shirt could have the person’s name on it, and the town and department number, and perhaps a quote expressing thanks or gratitude. You could also have a quote about courage or service, or even just a personal quote like, “Dad, we’re proud of you!” Along with the text, you could have a picture of the person, maybe with the whole department. Or you could include a picture of the fire department or the fire engine, or even a graphic that is not specific to your town, but that will let people know right away that the person wearing this shirt is a firefighter. This image could be anything from a fire hat to a truck to a dalmatian.

You could also, if your firefighter has a sense of humor, be a little more creative and make up a slogan to put on the t-shirt. Think of something that would get the same point across, but in a humorous way. Maybe something like, “This man gets up at four in the morning to rescue your kitten Mimi from a tree. Respect him.” Or, “This man keeps you and your kittens safe from harm. And he looks good in a uniform.” You could also list the years of service, and maybe include a more serious quote or statement of thanks to make sure everyone knows your feelings of pride and gratitude.

You could make t-shirts for the fire department even if you don’t know anyone on the force. Maybe your house was saved from damage by the fire department. Maybe your son wants to be a fireman when he grows up. If you want to show support for the fire department, you could design a t-shirt and give one to each of the firefighters there. Try putting the names of each person on the back of the t-shirt, like a sports jersey. This personalized effect will be exciting to everyone that gets a shirt. The firefighters do their job because they want to, but that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t like recognition every now and then. Whether you are thanking your husband, wife, dad, mom, teacher, or just the friendly firefighter you see on the way to work everyday, consider making a custom t-shirt to show how much you care. It’s a great way to bring the community together and show your support for a very important group of people.

Support the Heroes in Blue with T-Shirts

If you have a loved one who is a policeman or woman, chances are you are very proud of them. They risk their lives to protect the citizens of their towns and cities. If you would like to show your appreciation for these valuable people, what better way to do it than with a custom-designed t-shirt that they can wear proudly when not on duty?

If making a t-shirt for your policeman or woman, you can personalize as much as you want to. Put his or her name on the back of the t-shirt, or on the front, perhaps on an arc, like on a sports jersey. You can accompany this name with an image and a funny slogan about your loved one. The image could be many things, ranging from a picture of the person to a recognizable symbol of the police force, like a pair of handcuffs, a police cap, or a police car with the lights on.

Perhaps you’d also like to make t-shirts for the whole police department. Reasons for doing this could be wide-ranging: maybe the police department did you or your family a huge service recently, or perhaps your children are learning about the police in school and want to show their respect and appreciation. Making t-shirts for the whole department could be quite fun, too. You can still personalize the shirts, with each person’s name on the back, and perhaps their picture on the front. Then you can come up with a slogan to encapsulate the whole department. It could be funny or just sincerely appreciative, like, “Thanks for all you do!” or “We couldn’t live without you!”

In the sad event that your community has lost a police officer, you can make memorial t-shirts, which the whole community could wear. Making that large amount of t-shirts wouldn’t be too expensive, and the community would likely appreciate a silent way to pay their respect and show their appreciation.

Getting your children involved in designing the t-shirts with you will be a great way to help them learn about the police and what their function in society is. Your children can brainstorm about what their ideas of police are, and why they are important in the community. This idea holds true whether you are making t-shirts for a close loved one, one particular officer that your family is familiar with, or an entire department. If you decide to make funny t-shirts, make sure that they are still respectful to the police force. Instilling a sense of gratitude and respect in your children early will probably help them later on!

Though the policemen and women won’t be able to wear their t-shirts while on duty, they can wear them proudly at home and at work functions. If you’re making the t-shirts for yourself, in honor of the policemen and women in your life, you can wear them whenever you like and give a shout out to the police department and its hard work.
