What to Wear on April Fools Day

Leave a reply

April Fools Day, also known as All Fool’s Day in some countries, isn’t exactly a holiday, but it is celebrated every year all over the world. In the U.S. April 1st is prime time for practical jokes and hoaxes. Our friends, family members, and co-workers usually bear the brunt of our “celebrations,” but with the advent of the internet, virtual strangers can put one over on millions of people before they realize they’ve been had.

People have pulled thousands of pranks over the years, but only the most astounding usually land a spot on the “best of” lists. The internet is full of hoaxes and practical jokes that have stood the test of time for 50 years or more.

A good way to memorialize the best of these is to create a custom T-shirt. It’s a great conversation starter, and at least you’ll have something new to wear this April 1. Here are some great hoaxes to commemorate with a custom T-shirt:

* Spaghetti trees: In 1957 a BBC show famously claimed that Swiss scientists had successfully eradicated the “spaghetti weevil.” As a result, spaghetti trees were flourishing across the land. The BBC fielded hundreds of phone calls from viewers who wanted to obtain their own spaghetti trees.

* Left-handed Whoppers: In 1998 Burger King ran an ad in USA Today announcing a new Whopper for left-handed people. The difference? The toppings were engineered to drip out of the right side. Thousands of people ordered the new burgers, or requested the “old,” right-handed version.

* Smell-O-Vision: In 1965, the BBC announced it was going to try out a new technology that transmitted odor over the airwaves to its viewers. Thousands called in to say the study was a success. The BBC.com conducted an online version of the hoax in 2007–again duping thousands of people.

* The Great Iceberg: In 1978 an Australian adventurer and businessman promised to tow an iceberg from Antarctica to Sydney Harbor. He said he planned to carve the block of ice into small cubes and sell them to the public for 10 cents each. The barge pulled into the harbor, pulling the iceberg. However, once it started to rain, the prank was revealed–it was just a mountain of firefighting foam and shaving cream.

Creating a custom T-shirt remembering these well-known hoaxes takes only your creativity and your wallet. It’s easy enough to design your own “spaghetti tree” or “spaghetti weevil”–easier still to hire a designer to do it for you. Same goes for the “left-handed Whopper.”

Just the words “Smell-O-Vision” on your T-shirt is sure to generate a comment or two, while “The Great Iceberg” hoax will probably result in more shrugs than anything. However, that will be the most unique, eclectic shirt in your closet–no one will have anything that remotely resembles it.

Although April Fool’s Day is one of the few holidays that isn’t celebrated with gatherings, food, and dancing, it’s still an opportunity to show your creativity and passion for pranks.

Battle of the Sexes on a T-Shirt – Girl Power!

Leave a reply

“Men are from Mars, women are from Venus”
“Girls rule, boys drool.”
“Girls go to college to get more knowledge, boys go to Jupiter to get more stupid-er.”

Yes ladies, when it comes to the no-holds-barred battle of the sexes, there’s no end to the inventiveness we gals will employ to let those boys know just where they stand! Sometimes you just need to shout out, “I am woman! Hear me roar!” It’s important for women and girls to acknowledge the strength and power that comes along with their femininity. Wearing empowering T-shirts can be a great way to remind yourself, as well as the rest of the world, that just because you’re looking great in your adorable new pink tee, doesn’t mean you can’t kick butt too!

There is an endless variety of female-empowering T-shirts that can be made, expressing just about any sentiment or message you can think of. T-shirts are a great way to bring uniformity and a shared sense of girl-power to any gal group, be it in school, sports, friends, or family.

Hey sorority sisters, why not show off your pride with matching house tees? Greek letters, or an empowering motto on the front will show those fraternities who’s boss! A cute design, graduation years, even silly nicknames can be printed on the back, giving everyone an opportunity to share in the fun. You can wear your shirts to sports games, fundraising events, and even class! Wherever you go, your shirt will let everyone know who you are and what you stand for.

Other girl-powered groups can deck themselves out in their favorite colors while sending their message of pride, strength, and determination to the world! Female sports teams would do well to highlight their strengths on the clothes they wear! What better way to tell the town that the varsity softball team is fearless. A well designed and empowering t-shirt will promote a team while inspiring its wearer!

Don’t belong to a sorority or team? No problem! You don’t have to be in a sorority to have powerful sisters! Why not get your friends or family members together to design an inspiring shirt you would all be proud to wear. Perhaps you will choose a famous quote or image, or maybe you will design something completely unique.

You could even use your t-shirts to poke fun at sibling rivalry. On one mom’s birthday, her adult daughters sported custom tees that gave everyone a chuckle. Mom wore one that said, “I’m their mom.” Each daughter wore a shirt with the same message, “Don’t tell my sisters – I’m mom’s favorite.”

It’s not just about what the shirt says, but also how it is worn. Remember to wear your design with confidence, knowing you and you alone created it. We must not only tell the world who we are with what we wear, we must also show them who we are by how we act. Sorority sisters, be kind to one another, athletes, be good sports and friends, always be true. Us girls have to stick together and what better way than by believing in ourselves, supporting one another and being proud of who we are!

Equestrians Are Born to Ride! (and wear t-shirts)

Leave a reply

I’ve never been very good on a horse. I love them, don’t get me wrong. “Pony” was definitely on my Christmas list for several years when I was growing up. A “townie”, I didn’t have many opportunities to go horseback riding, although a few friends had horses.

I can remember one such visit where I got to ride my friend’s sweet pony. She saddled him for me, and, mounting up on her daddy’s horse, we headed off into the woods. Sometime later, the horse started to canter. My pony wanted to keep up, so he started off. That’s when we discovered that my friend hadn’t tightened the saddle quite enough; suddenly I was riding sideways; parallel to the dirt road racing by way too close to my face. Somehow, I managed NOT to fall off, and we adjusted the saddle and rode on. Soon, we stopped at a nearby pond to water the horses, only to discover that 10 year olds with weak hands should NOT be relied upon to adequately tighten saddles. Let’s just say that I slid right down that pony’s neck into the water.

While I can’t really recall any close encounters with a horse going terribly well, I do still have a fondness for the beasts, and greatly admire anyone who can successfully ride. For those of us who choose not to indulge in this extremely popular pastime, we can still be involved in the lifestyle. Whether by attending horse shows, rodeos, exhibitions, or just helping out at a friend’s stable, we can share our love.

There’s another way we can share our feelings, and that’s by wearing equestrian tees! You can get any number of designs printed on your t-shirt; from art to comedy, there’s something out there for everyone.

Perhaps you most admire the beauty of a horse’s physique. Who would blame you? They’re muscular, powerful, beautiful and serene. A healthy horse is indeed a work of art in and of himself. Why not have a beautiful portrait of a horse on your tee? It shows everyone how much you love these graceful animals and is also a good conversation starter, say at a company picnic or your spouse’s family reunion.

Maybe you’re more into to funny side of life. There are any number of amusing sayings, cartoons and so on that you can have put on your shirt to proclaim to the world your passion for all things equestrian.

If attending horse events such as rodeos or shows is more your style, you can go with event tees; these babies have the event time, date, location, etc.¦ printed right on them, usually with the slogan of the event. “Rodeo 2008” and “Lafayette Invitational Ride” are some examples. Maybe you follow certain barrel-racing stars, wear a tee with your favorite rider or favorite horse on it and you’ll be sure to let everyone know what matters most to you.

If you belong to an equestrian club that participates in community functions such as parades, ordering some custom-designed equestrian tees for your group is an easy and inexpensive way to identify yourselves. You can go as simple or as elaborate as you wish–the only limit is your own imagination.

Raise Awareness of Autism with an Autism Support T-Shirt

Leave a reply

Designing your own t-shirt is a fun and creative way to express yourself. The whole process—from coming up with the ideas, to ordering the t-shirt, to receiving it in the mail, to wearing it proudly the next day—is a great way to have fun.

But custom t-shirts can be more than just a way to have fun. They are also a good way to express a strong belief or to raise awareness of issues that you care about. If you have information about your issue, or even just an intriguing phrase or image on your t-shirt, then perhaps people will stop and ask you about the issue. You can send that person away with just a little bit more knowledge about a topic that is important to you.

One example of an important issue that you might want to bring up is autism. Autism is a lifelong neurobiological disorder. It is relatively common: 1 in 150 people have it. There are many levels of severity to the disorder. Autism impairs a person’s ability to communicate with others. It sometimes leads to compulsive behavior, like extreme need for strict routine and repetitive habits. In most cases it makes it harder for the person to relate to those around him or her. Autism is more common in boys than girls, but it doesn’t discriminate racially or socially.

It is important for people to be aware of autism because it more than likely is touching their lives in some way, even if they don’t know it. They may have classmates, coworkers, or relatives who are autistic and maybe struggling to function in the fast-paced world that doesn’t understand or know about their disorder.

If you have a loved one who has been diagnosed with autism, you are in a great position to raise awareness in the general public about the disorder. In many cases, it is easy for people to misunderstand autism and label people that have it as less intelligent or even rude. It would be a lot easier on everyone if teachers, classmates, and friends could understand autism as a disorder that can be dealt with. For example, teachers have to deal with multiple types of personalities every day. If they were educated about autism, teachers could better adjust their teaching and communication techniques to suit their autistic students and even help integrate them into the class as a whole.

So, if autism is an important issue to you, you should speak up about it. You could have a strong phrase about autism on the front of your shirt, maybe with a statistic. This could serve as a teaser, making whoever is walking by a reason to ask you about autism. Then, on the back, you could have some more detailed information, including a website and maybe some more important and surprising facts about autism. Try to make it so that whoever walks by you will not be able to pass you without learning something new about autism. If you can change one person’s view, or make one person more curious, then your t-shirt has done its job.

Ideas for Family Vacation T-Shirts – Create your own

1 Reply

You might not be “there” yet, but you can travel in style with custom family vacation t-shirts! Get ready for your vacation with shirts for your whole group. They are great for families and friends. Name your theme: Spring Break, Red Hatters, the boys annual hunting trip, the beach and ski trips. Whatever your vacation there’s a shirt.

It’s easy to craft a custom shirt with just a few mouse clicks. Try some of these ideas.

“Branson Or Bust. The Baker Brothers Family Trip. 2007” The brothers, who are all over 60, used a childhood picture of the four of them!

The front: “The Housers’ World Tour. 2006” On the back, the family listed all their destinations on their European summer trip just like a concert t-shirt.

If you need inspiration check out online libraries for phrases, artwork and ideas. Or use your own designs. Customize the shirts with your group’s destination and names. Pick colors and styles and you’re traveling in style!

Think family friendly with, “Are we there yet? Smith family road trip 2007.” “My other car is a monorail” complete with Mickey Mouse ears. “Brandon Family Beach Bums. Avalon, NJ. Summer 2007.”

Or, get silly with these. “I’m what happened in Vegas. Red Hatters 2007.” “What time is the 3 o’clock parade? Smiths do Disney 2008.” “My other car is a dune buggy. Spring Break 2008.”

Capitalize on the Griswold’s Classic European vacation. “Hey kids, Look there’s Big Ben, and there’s Parliament. There’s Big Ben, and there’s Parliament. The Riders’ European Tour 2008.”

And, for those family members not so into the t-shirt idea how about “I’m with them. Vale 2006.”

You can individualize each shirt with family members’ names and nicknames. Put them across the back shoulders like a team jersey or have names embroidered at the front pocket area.

Customized tees are more than just for laughs and memories. They are great for finding the whole gang on the boardwalk, an amusement park, and the airport. The Conicks choose a bright color every year with traveling in mind.

Make it fun to create the shirts! Have a contest or gather ideas from the whole family. When everyone’s sporting their matching shirts, it makes for memorable pictures.When the Taylors plan their trip they set up a website to organize ideas, directions and itineraries. While at the beach, they take a family photo in their t-shirts every year. At the end of summer, everyone posts their pictures on the website. Last year, they even put the site address on their shirts!

T-shirts make good souvenirs to remember your trip. When Zane Colley was just five years old, he started asking people to sign his shirt with a Sharpie pen. Now, at 18, he’s kept up the tradition. He’s got notes from everyone from his great uncle Alex to the cutie he met on the boardwalk.

Don’t wait to order! Design your custom t-shirts when you’re planning your vacation. It’s easy to design and order online. Expect it to talk only a few days for your shirts to arrive.

Make a memory everyone will enjoy!

Hunting for Easter T-Shirts

Leave a reply

Spring is many people’s favorite times of the year. Birds are chirping, bees are buzzing, and flowers are blooming. And nothing says springtime better than Easter!

If you are like most people, Easter is one of the two times you go to church each year. And what do churches have at this time? EGG HUNTS! All kids love to hunt for Easter Eggs, and some adults do, too. When organizing an egg hunt, volunteers are needed to dye eggs (or stuff them if plastic eggs are being used), assemble baskets, donate prizes, and hide eggs. Ordering matching t-shirts for the Egg Hunt volunteers is a great way to foster a sense of unity for the team. Buying custom-made Easter tees and handing them out to church members to wear a few weeks prior to the big Egg Hunt is another great reason to wear the Easter T-shirt. A cute graphic of Easter Eggs or the Easter Bunny can be used, along with the time, date, and location of the church’s Easter Egg Hunt. In addition, Easter Egg Hunt prizes can be commemorative shirts of the event; these prizes can be awarded for the most number of eggs found, the least number found, or for finding the golden egg. Some churches place tokens inside their plastic eggs, for which the kids can then trade in for small toys and games. Why not a shirt thrown in?

Of course, not everyone goes off to church for their Easter celebration. Lots of people simply get together with their families or friends (or both) to have a nice meal and their own Egg Hunt. Shirts can be ordered for the same reasons listed above, or they can get more creative and be individualized for each person. Some ideas include
– two brightly decorated Easter Eggs with “Check Out These Eggs” around them
– a picture of a candy rabbit that says “Chocolate Easter Bunny…Bite Me”
– a number of Easter eggs arranged in a wreath, with each family member or friend’s name on an egg
– a bunny juggling eggs and saying “Did you just say you forgot to boil these?”
There are lots and lots of ideas to add to the fun of this great holiday.

There are lots of people who have religious reasons for celebrating Easter. Traditionally believed as the day Jesus rose from the grave, it is one of the most important holidays for Christians. Wearing a t-shirt to spread the good news of the resurrection is a great way for believers to share the miracle. Examples of these types are:
– A graphic of Jesus with his arms open wide with “He Is Risen” below him
– A cross with an Easter lily
– A crown of thorns, 4 nails, and “Jesus is Risen”

These are all examples of different types of custom t-shirts that you can get made for Easter. While some people might think of this holiday of a serious occasion, there are others who look at it as a time for fun. If you are one of the latter, then one of these t-shirt ideas may be for you.

Hop on over and make a t-shirt for Easter!

Leave a reply

If you’re like most Christian families, then Easter is very important day of the year. Easter Sunday is a day for the family to reflect together and give thanks. As your children grow older, they will appreciate the deeper meaning while remembering the fun surrounding the day.

And we all know—especially those of us with children—that Easter time is also a time of celebration and excitement. What little kid doesn’t wake up on Easter morning, excited to see where the Easter bunny left those eggs, and maybe where he left some sweet treats too! Other events surround the Easter holiday, like egg dyeing and basket making. There is also the classic visit to the Easter bunny, who will give your kids some treats and maybe a picture to take home. These things make the holiday special for children who are too young to understand the religious significance of the day.

So there are two ways to go if you are thinking of designing custom t-shirts for you and your family to wear at Easter time. If you really want to focus on the religious holiday and take the day as time to spend with family and, perhaps, your church group, you could think of t-shirts that pay warm respects to the holiday. Maybe you could include your favorite quote from the Bible, or images from the life of Jesus. You could also include your own statements about what the holiday means, and what you believe is important to communicate on that special day.

The other option offers still more possibilities for creativity. If you want to make t-shirts for you and your kids to wear to the big egg hunt, or to go get your picture taken with the Easter bunny, then you should go with more colorful schemes and perhaps more eye-catching design. The traditional colors of Easter decorations are pastel—light pinks, blues, greens, yellows, and purples. Going along with this, you could include images of animals—the bunny, of course, plus all the other baby animals that tend to be associated with Easter. As far as text goes, you could choose anything from a quote from your favorite Easter song, like “Here Comes Peter Cottontail.” You could even design your own find-the-object picture, for people to find the Easter eggs on your t-shirt!

It is each family’s choice what to focus on at Easter time. The t-shirts you design can help you and your children create designs that encapsulate an aspect of what Easter means to you. Designing the t-shirts together could even be a great way to teach your children about Easter by opening up a dialogue with them. You can ask them what Easter means to them, and then share with them what Easter means to you. No matter what you choose to do with your Easter Sunday, making t-shirts with your family can be an easy and fun way to share the meaning of Easter together.

Bocce Ball is Awesome and I Have a T-Shirt to Prove It

Leave a reply

While Bocce ball is one of the lesser-known sports in the United States, it is a sport played all over Europe. The bocce ball sport requires great skill as well as a bit of luck. If you play bocce ball, you know just how much fun it is.

Others may not know how fun bocce ball is though. By creating custom t-shirts that display your love of the sport, you can begin a conversation about bocce ball and introduce the game to others.

Your custom bocce ball t-shirt can include just a simple phrase about your love of the sport, or you can be more elusive with just a graphic or a witty saying. Many shirts have the colors of the player’s country and several bocce balls. The shirts can indicate which surface you prefer to play on such as a beach or where you learned to play.

If you have a specific team that you play with, create a custom shirt for all the players. These shirts can be used to identify who is on your team, or to tell others who you are. If you have a team name obviously that is important to put on the shirt. A fun saying that describes your team would make the shirts even more personal. Graphics can be added to the custom bocce ball t-shirts to make them colorful and professional.

If you enjoy watching bocce ball, you can create your own shirt as well about your favorite team or player. If you don’t have a specific team or player you prefer, making a bocce ball shirt that shows your excitement of the sport can still be fun.

Shirts can be simple with “I love Bocce” or “Bocce Ball is awesome” or witty with “It takes balls to play Bocce.” The sayings can be without graphics, or you can include images or bocce balls on the shirt. If you like, the balls can be in colors of your favorite country to really personalize the shirt.

Family members can also wear shirts to support their bocce playing loved ones. Kids can wear shirts indicating a desire to grow up to play the sport, spouses can have shirts supporting their loves with “I love my bocce player” and mom’s and dad’s can have shirts that tell everyone they have a child that plays bocce.

While bocce is normally a sport played by older men, it is vastly becoming more common among the younger generations. Thus the reason shirts that say “I skip school to play bocce” exist. While promoting truancy is not the best example, it would be great for the young players to have shirts they can wear to show they love to play the sport.

Custom bocce ball t-shirts can really be fun to design, especially with the help of other players. Teams can enjoy trying to create a team shirt that shows off the personality of each player, while family members can proudly display their love for the team with their own custom shirts.

Increase Blood Donor Awareness with T-Shirts

Leave a reply

While most of your t-shirt designs will probably be for fun, every once in a while an issue will come up that is very important to you. It may be personal or work-related, or just a cause that means a lot to you. What better way to raise awareness than by literally wearing the issue on your chest? Designing a t-shirt about the issue you care about is a great way to use your imagination and draw attention to something you believe is important for people to know about. But be prepared: if your t-shirt succeeds, you may have to answer questions on the street!

Blood donation is an important and ongoing issue. In times of crisis or national emergency, blood donation numbers usually go way up. People are willing to help when help is needed. What a lot of people don’t realize, however, is that help is always needed, even during calmer days. It is a great idea to donate blood regularly—to make a habit of it. Many people may not think that they can make a difference, but you may want to enlighten them and tell them that they definitely can.

One area of knowledge that could help raise the number of blood donors is eligibility. You could make a t-shirt detailing where and when people can go donate blood. Very often people use ignorance as an excuse to sit back and not do anything proactive to affect the world around them. Your custom t-shirt is a chance to inform people of their options. What types of blood are the rarest and most needed? How do people find out their own blood type? Are there any conditions that might prevent people from being able to donate blood—like sickness, menstruation, pregnancy, or certain medications? If so, how long should a person wait, for example, after being sick or being on antibiotics to donate blood?

Other questions you could answer on your t-shirt: where are the nearest locations for donating blood? How much time will donating blood take out of the day? Are there side effects, and if so, what are they? Does it cost money to donate blood? How often can you donate blood? What happens to blood after it is collected? What is it used for during times of peace and non-crisis?

With information like this on your t-shirt, you can attract the attention of people walking past you, or coworkers and friends. Most of the information about blood donation is easy to understand—it’s just that a lot of people haven’t been educated about it. Some simple facts in people’s minds might make the difference between them never donating blood at all, and possibly beginning a lifelong routine of donating blood regularly. Your t-shirt could include anything from a slogan prompting people to ask you about blood donation to a list of statistics or helpful facts. This could at least open up a dialogue with interested people about the issue of blood donation. At most, you might save a life.

BMX Riders do Tricks for BMX Style T-Shirts

Leave a reply

BMX stands for bicycle motocross and consists of races which take place on a dirt track. The dirt track typically has a number of hills, bumps and dips enabling the racers to launch into the air while traveling at high speeds. It also typically has a number of turns which really makes the race interesting. In addition to track races there are also BMX freestyle events where participants perform tricks and are awarded points for categories such as style, difficulty and originality. However, more than just being a sport BMX is also a lifestyle. It is this lifestyle element which draws many of the fans of the sport to create custom BMX t-shirts to show their support for their favorite riders.

A popular option for custom BMX t-shirts is to create a t-shirt which offers your favorite racer encouragement. Whether you are going to see a friend or a family member compete, he is likely to be encouraged when he sees a large group in the audience wearing matching t-shirts designed just for him. Custom t-shirts with a catchy phrase encouraging the rider to go fast, beat the competitors or even just be safe is likely to be appreciated by your favorite BMX rider.

What better way to show your support for your favorite BMX rider than to have his picture emblazoned across your t-shirt. Creating custom BMX t-shirts with this type of picture is very easy. The picture can be screen printed or embroidered onto the t-shirt. You also have a number of different options for the type of picture you select. You may choose a close up of the BMX rider’s face, a full length shot of the BMX rider or even a picture of the BMX rider on his bike. Regardless of the picture you select, as long as it is easily identifiable, the BMX rider you are supporting will surely appreciate the gesture.

Custom BMX t-shirts which feature a personal message for a particular BMX rider are also very popular. This may include an inside joke or a question for a particular BMX rider. Whether you are creating a custom BMX t-shirt for yourself or for a large group, this type of message t-shirt can be very effective for getting the BMX rider’s attention. If he is a friend or family member, he will surely appreciate the gesture. However, if you are simply a fan of the BMX rider, your custom BMX t-shirt may attract the rider’s attention and compel him to seek you out after the race.

BMX fans that are supporting a freestyle BMX rider have other options available to them. They may wish to have custom BMX t-shirts created with the name of a particular move on the t-shirt. The move may be one which is a trademark of the BMX rider or it may be a move which he is attempting for the first time. This type of custom BMX t-shirt not only shows your support for a particular BMX rider but can also offer him a great deal of moral support. This is especially true if the BMX rider is attempting a new trick for the first time in competition.

Bring Badminton Lovers Together with a T-Shirt

Leave a reply

Badminton is the fastest racquet sport in the world. It requires more strength, agility, and quick reflexes than many sports. Those that play or watch this great sport know the challenges it offers.

Why not celebrate your love of this terrific sport. If you are a badminton coach consider creating custom team t-shirts, they are a great way to show your pride. The t-shirts can be designed specifically for your team so they will be unique to your group. For smaller groups, the shirts can be personalized with the name of each player on the back just like a jersey. Names can also be put onto the front of the t-shirt with the back used for the name, logo, and slogan of your team.

If you need a fundraiser, sell your team t-shirts. Badminton parents would be willing to buy a shirt that they can wear to each game. The wearer will get to show pride and support for your organization without having to think of a unique idea. Shirts can be sold not just to parents, but to the local community as well to gain even more exposure for your team and raise a larger amount of funds.

As a parent of a badminton player, you have the option of creating a custom t-shirt to wear to all of your child’s games, practices, or just around town. The shirt can be an excellent way to show support for your player. Having your child’s name and even picture if you are daring, since many teens would find it humiliating, can be fun to wear. The shirt can also include things such as the team’s name, game locations and times, or even statistics if you have any. After each game, you can then add the score next to it so people can see the outcome of each game.

Maybe you don’t actually play the sport or know anyone personally that does. You can still create a shirt showing your love of the game. Just a simple shirt with “I love Badminton” may be enough for you. If you desire a more advanced design, there are plenty of ideas for those as well.

Badminton shirts are fun to create. If the team you cheer on has a color, use that color on your shirt. Your shirt can be a simple white with the text and graphic in color, or the shirt can be the team color with the graphic and text in white, black, or contrasting color for added appeal. With a graphic added and some color, your custom shirt will stand out in the crowd.

Whether your shirt is supporting one particular player, team, or the sport in general your shirt will show your pride and love of the sport. Go have some fun designing your custom badminton t-shirt. The best part of designing your own is how unique it will be. So have fun with it. Wear your pride for all to see and enjoy those games.

It’s so easy to create your own t-shirt combinations that are perfectly customized for your family. Take pictures of dad and son.

When Zane Bennage turned 5, his grandparents bought he and his dad special matching shirts for dad’s favorite sports team. This football season, the father-son team has matching personalized Pittsburgh Steeler t-shirts.

Some families are buying matching t-shirts for family photos. You can put your family crest or favorite activity or everyone’s names right on the shirt. They make great holiday cards.

For mothers and daughters, the options for matching shirts are only as endless as your imagination. Try “My Mom Rocks” for mom and “My Kid Rocks” for daughter. Or, for mom and baby, “Does this diaper make my butt look fat?” and “Does this baby make my butt look big?”

You can keep your t-shirts simple with a design you like and add your names. T-shirts with giant, sparkly flowers and retro band shirts are both trendy right now.

If you don’t find something you like online, at the store or in a catalog, design your own. It’s a great father-son or mother-daughter project to draw or craft something special and unique to your relationship.

Ty Brown and his son, Mark, started with a simple graphic design program on their computer. They used their favorite motorcycle logo and worked their last name into it. Thanks to simple online t-shirt design companies, they uploaded the design and were ordering shirts in no time. Ty’s wife, Jen and their daughter May took a different approach. They went to the fabric store and really started from scratch. 6 year old May picked out accessories to embellish the purple shirts she selected. Once they had buttons, felt and sparkly rhinestones, the two were ready to get to work. Jen cut out big flower pieces from the felt. Then, May helped add the buttons to the flower centers and rhinestones around the edges. Jen used a simple fabric marker to write their names on their shirts.

When everyone’s shirts were done, the Browns had a friend take a picture and their customized t-shirt creations were featured in their annual Christmas card.

Mother-daughter and father-son t-shirts are great for family vacations, too. Get an “I Love NYC” or “Rehobeth Beach” shirt. The boys get one color and put their names on the back in a sports jersey style. The girls can choose another color and have their names embroidered on the front.

Don’t forget holidays and special events. For one group of family friends, all the mothers and daughters get matching shirts for their “girls’ day out.” The trips started as back to school shopping trips to the local shoe store when the kids were young. One year, they decided to head to the large King of Prussia mall for a weekend long visit. They decided to get customized t-shirts to mark the occasion and to help quickly spot each other in the mall. Now, that there are grandchildren to take back to school shopping, it’s become a tradition to get mother-daughter-granddaughter shirts for each family.

Share your Christian Faith with T-Shirts

Leave a reply

Millions of people profess to be Christians, but at the same time, the Christian faith is a personal one, and people choose to express that faith in different ways.

Some followers of Christ wear crosses around their necks and bracelets on their wrists. Others attach “Jesus Loves You” stickers or the Ichthus symbol to their car bumpers.

A sizeable segment, however, choose to share their beliefs with those around them by wearing custom T-shirts emblazoned with a Christian message.

Wearing Christian T-shirts lets people know who you worship, and by extension, what you stand for.

Some T-shirts state their beliefs boldly.

Some shirts proclaim JESUS FREAK. Underneath is a “Christian Fish,” or ichthus. It reads “Going against the flow. All day. Every day.”

Another shirt features a large, scary-looking crown of thorns on its gray T-shirt. The message reads “Fit for a King.”

Others use a more subtle touch.

You could make a shirt that features a grumpy face on the front, with a smiling, happy one on the back. Underneath reads: “… if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 2 Cor 5:17

The point? Once we have Jesus in our heart, God assures us that our past sins do not count against us. The design urges us to live as a new creation, leaving behind the old self and living renewed in Christ.

How about this one? A simple rendering of a man in a rowboat fishing for a man in the water clearly illustrates the verse: “Come follow Me, Jesus said, and I will make you fishers of men.” Mark 1:17

Moms, how about a brown shirt that reads: “ So glad I’m a Christian Mom” in bright pink letters. Underneath it reads: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13.
Dads, what about an outdoorsman design on a forest green T-shirt aiming to reach hunters searching for a purpose in life. It reads: What are you hunting for? “As the deer panteth for the water, so my soul thirsteth for thee.” Psalm 42:6
Or for tweens, a green shirt pinkly-proclaims “Princess” but in small letters it reads “My Father is the King of Kings!” A shirt like this is a great way to stand firm against the vulgar and demeaning statements we see on many other shirts.

Even toddlers can get in on the t-shirt fun with a shirt featuring an inspired sketch of kids looking up at the cross reads: “This little light of mine/I’m gonna let it shine.”

Whether you wear a Christian T-shirt for its look, feel or message, there’s a host of T-shirt designs and styles to suit Christians of every age and culture. Just remember that people who see you wear a “godly” shirt will expect you to act like to you follow the teachings of Christ. If you don’t, you might as well be wearing a plain, white T.

Go Green with Your Own T-Shirts Designed for St. Patrick’s Day!

Leave a reply

I don’t know about you, but I’m from Chicago, and in Chicago St. Patrick’s Day is one of the biggest parties of the year. People all over the city have parties from morning till night. There are two major parades that run through different parts of the city. If the holiday St. Patrick’s Day falls on a weekday, then the city celebrates both the weekend before and the weekend after the actual holiday, plus all the days in between. It’s a little bit like Mardi Gras for the cold weather crowd.

With all the green and gold going around all over the city, it’s hard to really stand out in a crowd of St. Patrick’s Day revelers. What better way to liven up the celebration than with a t-shirt you design yourself just for the occasion? Then you’ll have something truly unique and memorable that you can keep for years to come…and wear on every St. Patrick’s Day, if you want!

A lot of people get big groups of friends together to go celebrate on St. Patrick’s Day. Making matching St. Patrick’s Day t-shirts would be a great way to get geared up for the day and then to keep track of each other on the actual day. One of my roommates from college made t-shirts every year with her friends. They would come up with a design and a clever slogan. For St. Patrick’s Day, you can imagine many images and slogans that would be great. You could go from fact-based, nostalgic slogans like “South Side Parade 2008,” to limericks you write yourself for your t-shirts.

Images that come to my mind when I think of St. Patrick’s Day are things like clovers (with four leaves, of course!), leprechauns, pots of gold, and, of course, beer. If these are the types of images that come to your mind, you’re off and running. Be creative and make a collage of your favorite St. Patrick’s Day images. Or you could use pictures of you and your friends and family on past St. Patrick’s Days. Put those pictures on the front or back of the t-shirt and then add text—like “Happy St. Patty’s Day,” or “Erin Go Bragh!” or “Luck O’ the Irish!” Coming back to the idea of the limerick, you could try your hand at writing those funny, songlike poems that people associate with the Irish holiday.

With your matching t-shirts, you and your friends can do three things. First, you can make a statement on a day when the crowds are huge, loud, and friendly. Second, you can assure that you can always spot each other in the crowds when you need to—make those t-shirts bright and recognizable! Third, you can make your own souvenir of a day you’ll never forget, spent with friends and family. The fun of St. Patrick’s Day can be made even bigger if you plan ahead of time and treat yourself and your fellow partiers with special t-shirts you designed yourself.

Support the Democrats with a T-Shirt

Leave a reply

As the Presidential election draws near, the talk is turning more and more to who will get the Democratic Party nomination. Will it be Hillary or Obama? Do you know? Do you have an opinion? Share it with the world! Support your political party with a Democrat t-shirt and let everyone know exactly what you think of President Bush. You can do all of this right on your t-shirt!

One fun shirt you can try is a graphic of a donkey kicking an elephant in the rear. No need to explain that one.

Another shirt that is sure to be popular in the upcoming election goes something like,
“01-20-09…Bush’s last day” This is sure to let everyone know that you can’t wait for him to leave the Oval Office.

Another Bush basher tee shows his face in a circle, with these words around the outside: “Not Smarter than a Fifth Grader”. This one definitely reflects the opinion a lot of people have of him these days, and pretty much anything that’s anti-Bush can be said to support the Democrats. For those who feel very strongly that Bush is a complete idiot, try putting one of his many mispronunciations along with his picture on the t-shirt. Definitely a pro-Democrat, anti-Republican t-shirt if there ever was one.

Let’s say, however, that you are looking for a more positive way to show your support for the Democrat Party. If you love Hillary, try a shirt that shows her looking good, and says “Lookin’ Great for 2008!”. If Barack Obama is your man, why not a wear a tee with his winning smile and the words, “Oh Mama! Obama!”.

If you really want to influence others, you can try pointing out the good things that the Democratic Party stands for. They are coming in on a platform of change and reform; a t-shirt that says “It’s Broke, Let’s Fix It; Vote Democrat” is one way you might convince others to go Democrat. At the very least, you will inspire some discussion on the topic.

Other t-shirts are emblazoned with the projects that the democrats want to complete should they take over the White House in 2008. “Going Green” is one slogan that instantly brings to mind the quest to save the environment. Improvements across the nation for healthcare are also on the agenda. Put your support for this cause on your shirt, and get people thinking about it. You may not only spark some conversation about the issue, but you may also convince voters who are otherwise on the fence to go democrat at the polls.

While the Republicans seem to be saying that they are the only ones with moral values, as a Democrat you can refute this. “Democrats have Moral Values Too” or “We Are America” can convey to others that you are not only a Democrat, but are invested in the nation’s government and want to effect a change.

No matter where you stand in your political beliefs, you can share them with a great Democrat t-shirt.

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!
