T Shirt Printing History

T-shirt printing

The printed T-shirt is undoubtedly one of the foremost positive mediums for self expression and advertising. This form of fashionable clothing decoration started in the 1950`s with a company called `Tropix Togs` and their founder Sam Kantor in Miami. This was the company that owned the original license for Walt Disney characters.

In the 1960`s the `ringer` t-shirt, which has a jersey shirt fabric of one colour and a contrasting colour used on the ribbing for the collar and sleeve bands, emerged and became a fashion essential for youth and rock and rollers. In the 1960`s with the emergence of hippy culture and free thinking, people began to tie dye and screen print T-shirts. Advances in printing and dyeing facilitated greater variety and self expression. In the late 1960`s Robert Tree, Richard Ellman, Bill Kelly and Stanley Mouse launched the `Monster Company` in Mill Valley California. They developed fine art designs, emblems and motifs specifically for T-shirts.

Screen printed T-shirts have been a major form of marketing and advertising for major consumer products such as Mickey Mouse and Coca Cola since the 1970`s. Since the 1990`s it has become common practice for companies of all sizes to produce T-shirts with their corporate logos or messages as part of their overall advertising campaigns. The effectiveness of such techniques has indisputable results.

Events such as hen and stag parties have precipitated some of the most recent advances in T-shirt design and personalization, aided by companies offering cheap, simple and fast printing online. The beginning of the twenty first century has witnessed the renewed popularity of T-shirts with slogans and designs with a strong tendency towards humour, irony and particularly fashion. The T-shirt almost stands alone as the one item of clothing without restrictions prescribed by age or gender, making it the most effective means of marketing and advertising for any company.

Since the late 1980`s and especially the 1990`s, T-shirts with unmistakable designer name emblems have become popular as a means for consumers to express their taste for designer names in an economical way.

The influence of movies, music and fashion however, remain the staples of modern T-shirt design. With the advent of androgyny and unlimited self expression, the T-shirt is the one fashion item destined to never become extinct.

Savvy companies such as Hurley Clothing, as well as incorporating aforementioned music, movie and popular culture characters; create fashionable, attractive designs which include their own brand logo. An unequivocally clever method of perpetuating their own company and its name.
