Are T-shirts with a message, such as attitude tees, one line jokes, shock value rude tees, are they a fad?

Or do you think they are here to stay but will likely evolve?

here to stay... and most certainly will evolve.

Words, slogans, etc. printed on t-shirts have been around for as long as printing on t-shirts. It's definitely not going anywhere. Some slogans are certainly faddish (e.g. most movie references), while others persist (e.g. some political slogans).

The majority of design work, if not pretty much all of it, has a shelf life. It runs in somewhat predictable cycles and, with exceptions, mostly sticks to precedent. Things rarely just stop dead one day, there's normally a drop off over time - the evolution and devolution is easy enough to watch and chart.

Since this is what I am all about I sure hope it is here to stay.

no worries man, the american public is probably the most expressive group of people in the world! and slogan tees are the epitome of self expression. as long as your slogans are unique, and strike a responsive chord with your target audience, you should do fine for years to come!

If it's a fad, it's lasted over 10 years

I think it's here to stay.

As long as there are teenagers then message shirts will sell like hotcakes.

As Solmu said, what you put onto the t-shirt may be a fad, and in fact that can help sell a lot of t-shirts. When that fad dies, there's always a new one. I don't think t-shirt art will ever die off.

I bet it goes back to scribbling on temple walls back in the times of the Pharoahs. Someone's always going to get a kick out of it. We're just scribbling on t-shirts now.

Too funny about the Pharoahs....current version may be public stickering.

If you print it, they will come - and buy it.


I've done very well lately with some Dick Cheney Tees that I put out a day after the news hit. I find that there are always sayings that will sell, but you must stay up on current events or you are losing out on a lot of sales.

That's not true at all They will only come if your advertise and market your site.

You won't get shoppers out of thin air

I sent a news reporter your way recently after he requested some information on the Dick Cheney tees trend. Hope something came of it.
