Sports T-Shirts

T-shirts are a staple of our everyday wardrobe—probably because of


how incredibly versatile they are. They can work as a blank canvas for
artwork in a way other clothing can’t, and that means the possibilities for
t-shirt design are endless.
From businesses to basketball teams to bands to bachelorette parties,
an awesome shirt can make a huge statement. Whatever message
your t-shirt might be sending, you’ll need a design style to match if you
want to be heard. To get you started, we’ve rounded up 50 t-shirt
designs that will get you noticed.
if you’re hosting a conference, you’ve already got an audience that’s
invested enough to buy a ticket, so a t-shirt purchase should be a no-
brainer. But beyond sales, an event shirt is a great way to create
memorabilia that participants can look back on (and connect their
experience your brand).
T-shirts for sports and fitness
Nobody—not the coaches, not the commentators, not even the players
themselves—is as passionate about sports as the fans. Just ask these
people. When you’re trying to sell a t-shirt, a total and complete
obsessive fandom is definitely a good thing. So, cater to it.

While sports enthusiasts might be willing pledge their allegiance with a


t-shirt, that doesn’t mean you get to slack off by lazily slapping the
team’s logo on it. Try reimagining your logo, like the vintage approach
taken with the San Francisco Baseball design. If you are a retailer, take
advantage of equipment and other common imagery for a creative
illustration that will appeal to the entire community around a particular
sport.
For fitness programs, participants are striving against the most
challenging adversaries of all—their own body, genetics and plain
willpower. So consider a t-shirt design that emphasizes the kind of
strength and solidarity they will need to see the kind of results that they
want.

T-shirts for schools and universities


Short of making a necklace out of your diploma, school apparel is the
best way for students and alumni to express pride in their education.
You’ve worked hard for it, so why not show it off?
School pride and hometown pride often go hand-in-hand, and your
design can pay homage to both with a clever illustration like California
High School’s. And if you really want your students to take your wise
words home with them, consider a t-shirt that dresses up your message
with a custom typeface.
For younger kids, you’ve got a lot more creative leeway (and a lot more
work to do to show them that school is more fun than the latest video
game). Harrison Schmitt Elementary School, for example, turns their
students into space explorers, and—who knows—someday they just
might be.
