Even worse when the design is that plasticky kind of decal rather than the one that becomes more part of the fabric
Basically makes the shirt unusable in summer
These are known as Direct to Film or DTF (lol). They are quite literally a printed plastic sheet that’s melted to the shirt. Easiest way to check for this is to crease the shirt on the design. Screenprinted will reveal the shirt color underneath where DTF will be a solid sheet.
I hate those
Those use to be pretty popular when I was growing up, I hated them. So much so that I barely buy t-shirts these days unless its a free shirt from some company
Nah it’s cool
Absolutely disagree. If I’m wearing a graphic t, I’d much rather the graphic be on the back. Graphic on the front feels trashy, ala 3 Wolf Moon.

I’d rather have it in the back because sometimes the print feels stiff and uncomfortable and sometimes boobies stretch out the image.
My issue with the back is I have long hair so my hair will cover the design! But the front my tits will make that image…real real stretchy.
Stupid human bodies!!
They’re always on and under my boobs too?? Like it would be one thing if it was on my chest but there’s a big open area of nothing with a design only on or under my boobs? I think they’re just not made with women in mind 90% of the time even when it’s sold in women’s sizes
100%. we live in a man’s world.
Yeah. Shows your belly
Makes me feel like a fucking billboard when on the front for some reason
I feel the opposite. I feel like a billboard when it’s on the back.
If the design is on the front, I can’t tell if people are looking at the design or staring at my tits. And I kinda need to know who I should punch and who I shouldn’t x)
Fair enough
I’ve always found this awkward because I stare at tits but they assume I’m reading their shirt
Hell ya! Cause you didn’t spend that much money on an uncomfortable bra to have those tatas ignored!
THANK YOU!
And here I am just wanting the small thing on the front and nothing on the back. So hard to find that aren’t athletic shirts.
Pro tip: you know companies get branded shirts right? There are other companies that print/embroider them. And those companies do samples of blank shirts. Look for your local custom print shop 😉
90% of my wardrobe consists of company swag shirts and shirts from charities I work with. I just want nicer shirts from good brands without huge logos and graphics. All of the shirts I have now are that shitty Gildan brand which is cheap and inconsistent.
Mine are on the inside sometimes 😞
Long sleeves, design on the front, design on the back, design on the sleeves.
Long sleeves on the front, short sleeves on the back
I bet you’re a metal fan that likes a certain drippy moon on their merch.
Nah my favorite panel shirt is a Cryptopsy shirt. Which band has the drippy moon?
Leviathan! 😆
Oh!! Haha no I’m not a fan.
Can I add that dumb new trend where the logo is on the back upper left, making it seem you wore your shirt backwards like a dumbass?
I hate those. They always put the tags on the front now, too.
Just yesterday someone I work with had a t-shirt with a small, centered inscription just below the neckline. I didn’t catch myself in time and asked if the shirt was inside out, because it really looked like the logo/information you’d see inside under the neck on the back.
Don’t bash yourself, it helped remind them of what impression they give, going around like that.
Just wear it the other way around…
Then it touches the front of your neck! 💀😭🪦🤮
can’t have it all ;)
I like to wear aloha shirts. For a while there was a strange fad to make them with the fabric inside out so the colors were muted. Designers, amirite?
UGH, I have some of those and almost everyone says, “Hey did you know your shirt is inside out?”
Oh really? How did I button it?!
Inside-out fabrics: the dadaism of fashion.
graphic t-shirts are clotheslop
Bold of you to say that on lemmy of all places
Like all other clothing, they have their place.
But I too agree that graphic tees shouldn’t be someone’s main clothing the way that too often it is.
Any other things I’m doing that harm absolutely no one that I shouldn’t be doing?
Probably.

Local band shirts are the only clothing I want to spend my money on. Nothing beats repping for homies you share stages with. Everything else is purely weather-necessary, usually thrifted or made myself.
I like a good band tshirt or local art graphic tshirt under a nice flannel short aleeve.
||that might be my whole wardrobe||
Pacific northwest 'eh?
Not American thankfully. Ontario, Canada
