Transform the Timeless Black T-Shirt into Your Most Profitable Statement Piece
There's no denying it: the black t-shirt is the ultimate staple in the apparel world. In fact, a survey conducted in 2021 revealed that 60.9% of respondents preferred black tees over other colors!
It's a timeless style that never goes out of style, and for one good reason–it's versatility is unmatched. But how can you take that classic "tabula rasa" and make it uniquely yours?
As your partners in the apparel decorating biz, we've got some ideas!
Make it Minimal, Yet Bold
One of the simplest yet impactful ways to transform a black t-shirt is with a single word or phrase design. Think of iconic campaigns like "Got Milk?" – short, memorable, and powerful. With the right word or phrase, you can turn any basic tee into a conversation starter.
Get the look: This tee, printed in white puff, actually reads "Nice to Meet You" in Braille! For a bold, white that contrasts beautifully with a black tee, try 15¢ Varsity transfers.
Add Texture with Black Puff
Want to turn your design into a multidimensional experience? Our black puff transfers are the
perfect way to add a tactile component to your designs. The puff will add depth and a hint of mystery too! Whether you're going for a subtle or dramatic touch, black puff will elevate your black tees from simple to sensational.

Do More With a Basic
So while the black tee is the most commonly used in the apparel industry, we're encouraging you to put your unique spin on this classic staple. Our favorite part? Wearing it once, twice, or even 613 times!
