13 Things You Didn't Know About T-shirts

T-shirts with funny sayings, images, and logos are a great way to show the world who you are. There’s just something about a t-shirt that screams cool. Maybe it’s because they’re so simple and casual; or maybe it’s because t-shirts have been an iconic symbol of youth subcultures since the 1950s.

They can be worn almost anywhere – from the grocery store to school – and they come in so many different styles, colors and graphics that there’s something for everyone. T-shirts  are also very versatile and can be easily updated with new graphics or sayings to keep them current. Here are 10 things you probably didn’t know about t-shirts:

T-shirts can also be used as a marketing tool for artists and musicians

T-shirts are a great way to promote your band or music. You can make t-shirts with your band name and logo on them and wear them to your shows. People will see the t-shirts and associate your band with the logo on the t-shirt.

If you’re an artist, you can make t-shirts with your art or a picture of you doing your art on them and wear them when you’re out in public. People will see your t-shirts and associate your art with them.

T-shirts are often worn as an advertising medium by businesses

Businesses will often pay to have their logos printed on t-shirts and give them away as an advertisement. People who wear the t-shirts will associate the logo with the t-shirt. If the t-shirt is worn often, then people will begin associating the logo with that person wearing the shirt.

These t-shirts are often given out at company events and conferences, or are given away to build customer loyalty. People will associate the logo on the t-shirt with the company that gave it out.

The first T-shirt was produced by Adidas

Adidas is a German brand that has been producing sports gear since the 1930s. The first Adidas t-shirt was produced in the 1950s. These t-shirts were designed for tennis players and had a tennis racket logo on them. Since then, Adidas has used t-shirts for a variety of sports, including soccer and basketball. They’ve also produced t-shirts with logos for musicians and pop culture icons.

Women’s t-shirts are getting more and more risque

Over the past few years, we’ve seen t-shirts with bold, revealing slogans and images become increasingly popular among women. Many of these t-shirts are edgy and risqué. While these t-shirts started out being made for women, they have since infiltrated men’s t-shirt shops.

While these t-shirts may be fun and trendy, they also have the potential to offend people. Be careful when purchasing edgy slogans on t-shirts, and make sure you’re not offending anyone.

T-shirts were initially worn only by men

While modern t-shirts have been around since the 1920s, they were originally worn only by men. There are conflicting stories about the reason behind this, with one saying that it was because women’s bodies are curvy and wouldn’t fit inside the boxy shape of a t-shirt, and the other saying that it was because t-shirts were originally used as undershirts and women didn’t have enough laundry to wash them. Regardless of the reason, women’s t-shirts weren’t produced until the 1970s.

The first t-shirt was produced in the 1920s.

The very first t-shirt was produced by the Union Underwear Company in Massachusetts in the 1920s. The owner of the company had come up with the idea of making a t-shirt and selling it as an undershirt. While the t-shirts were a hit with people, they were not popular among underwear manufacturers and were banned from being sold at department stores.

T-shirts were not made again until the 1930s, when they were produced exclusively for people working in the navy. Since then, they have become a popular casual item that anyone can wear.

T-shirts are an affordable way to show your style

T-shirts are a great way to show your personality and your style without breaking the bank. You can find t-shirts with fun, retro slogans on them for under $10, and designer t-shirts (like those from Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren) can be purchased for under $50.

Because t-shirts are such a casual item, you can afford to buy several of them to change up your style. You can also create custom t-shirts with your own designs and slogans on them to make them more personal.

T-Shirts Can Be Very Sentimental

T-shirts are some of our most sentimental clothing items. They’re out-and-out wearable keepsakes that we’ve worn and loved for years. If you’re the sentimental type, you might even want to consider preserving your favourite t-shirts when they are too worn to wear any more.

T-shirts are very durable garments, but they do wear out over time, especially if they are cotton. But it doesn’t matter if they are not in mint condition, they still have sentimental value! If you want to preserve a favourite t-shirt, you can preserve it by freezing it. This will make it brittle so you can easily tear it into pieces that can be put in a bag or jar. Or you can just keep it the way it is and just keep it in a plastic bag to prevent it from getting dirty.

T-shirt Came From Undergarments?

The t-shirt we know and love today probably originated from the union suit, which was worn by men and women as underwear in the late 19th century. In 1913, an American inventor named Jacob Davis came up with a new design that he applied for a patent under the name “t-shirt”. Davis’s t-shirt was a two-piece garment, made of navy-blue cotton, with a “T” shaped covering for the chest. In order to protect his invention, Davis applied for a patent for his “t-shirt” in 1914.

Although the patent was granted, the garment didn’t become as popular as we know it today until the 1920s and 30s. The t-shirt was such a staple of everyday clothing that it was even used as the standard uniform for soldiers during the First World War and Second World War.

International T-shirt Day

International T-shirt day is celebrated on the first Friday of August every year. It is one of the many “unofficial holidays” that have been created by online communities. T-shirts are a casual form of clothing that people can wear virtually anywhere, so they are a great choice to wear on this special day. Since the day is unofficially recognized, there is no one event that is celebrated on this day.

People who celebrate this day can wear t-shirts with anything written on them, or they can wear the type of t-shirt that they would wear on any other day. With t-shirts being so ubiquitous, it’s no surprise that they’ve become part of so many different subcultures. Whether you’re a sports fan, an aspiring rock star, or just want to show your love for something, there’s a t-shirt for you.

Most Expensive T-shirt

The most expensive t-shirt sold for $1,919,921 in an online auction in October 2018. The t-shirt, which was autographed by sports stars like Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, and Ted Williams, was sold by an anonymous collector at auction. This t-shirt is not only the most expensive t-shirt ever sold, but it’s also one of the most expensive garments ever sold.

The t-shirt was sold as part of a sports memorabilia auction by Julien’s Auctions and was purchased by Ripley’s Believe it or Not. This auction also featured the jersey that was worn by Michael Jordan when he scored his first basket for the Chicago Bulls, the baseball cap that was worn by Babe Ruth during his last public appearance, and the game-worn jersey signed by Wayne Gretzky after his last game with the Edmonton Oilers.

Best Materials for T-shirt

For those of us that like to customize our t-shirts, there are a couple of factors that we need to consider. First, you’ll want to consider the type of fabric. The two main options are cotton and blend fabrics. Cotton fabrics are soft, comfortable and breathable, which makes them great for warm weather.

Unlike cotton fabrics, blend fabrics are machine washable, which makes them great for busy people. Blend fabrics are made from a combination of fibers, like polyester, viscose, or a combination of cotton and polyester. Like cotton fabrics, they are soft, comfortable and breathable. But they are also machine washable and wrinkle-free.
