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
They also create weak points along their edge since it needs to bend more to make up for the stiffness of the plastic part. It'll start coming apart there before the neck frays.
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
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
Hell ya! Cause you didn't spend that much money on an uncomfortable bra to have those tatas ignored!
I think its really cool to have a big beautiful design on the back. I have a vety broad back tho so i might be biased but i think its clean to have the front be uncluttered.
If I had to guess, this avoids the classic case of staring at someone a little too long to read their shirt. The shirt design isn’t so much for the wearer, it’s a billboard to others. Also, printing on the front has much more noticeable texture than printing on the back which would make the surface a bit uncomfortable across the entire front as opposed to the back where you’ll hardly notice the feel.
Even the best screen printing techniques have at least a bit of feel to them.
I hate it when its the other way around. I feel like a fancy design on the back and minimalist one on the front has more flair. But this is clearly subjective
Omg same. And I often wear a button down over a t-shirt, which is mildly annoying with that configuration
THANK YOU!
Mine are on the inside sometimes 😞
I hate when that happens. Gotta be a manufacturing error. It happens to me all the time with spoons as well, I'm eating with one normally, and then suddenly it turns inside out and can't grab any soup!
Enshittification has gone too far.
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.
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.
graphic t-shirts are clotheslop
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.
I like a good band tshirt or local art graphic tshirt under a nice flannel short aleeve.
||that might be my whole wardrobe||

Me too!

We'll disagree here
I might be exaggerating a bit but I do hate how limited men's fashion is, especially when you exclude second layers. You can't wear a nice cardigan when it's 30+ degrees out so you're stuck with just a basic t-shirt or collared shirt!
Be the change you want to see
Then wear non basic t-shirts or literally anything else. Different cuts can make a great difference in how a shirt looks, especially when you put accessoires in the equation.
Half of my daily wardrobe is band merch and conference swag. The former I don’t mind showing off because I like those bands, and the latter I don’t mind being a free billboard for because only people in my career field would recognize them anyway. I also only pick the vendor shirts that actually have good/quirky designs and not just their name and logo.
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.
For the past 4 months I’ve been exclusively wearing cat shirts.
i primarily use them for a hair wrap
Bold of you to say that on lemmy of all places
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! 💀😭🪦🤮
