Which is sorta the poor man's screenprint. I get my design separated into whatever colors I'm using and cut each layer from overhead projector film. A little spray adhesive on the back and a mini roller with some screenprinting ink, and there ya go. You also reserve the right to wear your own band shirts...haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members poolshark Posted December 18, 2012 Members Share Posted December 18, 2012 This is good info. My two piece is getting its logo designed and, now seeing this thread, at least partially considering shirts. My four piece is made of 3/4 broke college students, so shirt money is tough to come by. C'est la vie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice variety of designs and shirt colors is also solid advice. I've got far too many black tees, so many that I'll rarely buy one if it's black unless the design is astounding. I truly hate the heavyweight cotton tees as well. Go American Apparel or a similar brand, seems a few less expensive options are popping up now days. Those tri-blend tees are the best tho, I always buy those {censored}s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck getting your local band to print/stock/sell that. we usually go with youth large, tends to satisfy both small ladies and tiny dudes, though i'm not sure how many we've sold to dudes, but ladies are often really stoked that they have them. sometimes i think people buy our t-shirts more because they are so excited that we have their size than because they actually liked us much.

I know girls who've done this. It was likely a combo of cool shirt design/color and available size fueling that sale. Money in the bank! As for the big dudes, I've seen many a sign at merch tables stating "2XL, 3XL SOLD OUT. Sorry". Def take those burly man sizes on the road for max profitability. Get plenty of mediums too so I can snag one dudes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where the coolness ended. The front of the shirt is an off-center ripoff of an album cover. He used a logo which we all said looked stupid and asked him to stop using months earlier. Then he took pictures of each of us playing at various gigs and had them thrown randomly on the back; you can't really tell it's us, because we are monochrome white silhouettes on black fabric, but just the idea of wearing a T shirt with my image on it smacks of pretentious douchebag. I've never worn it for anything but working out at my private gym. If its clean I'll dig it out of the drawer and take a pic for you - it's HORRIBLE!
