is this cool?: spreadshirt.com at Urban Monarch

is this cool?: spreadshirt.com

I’m trying to decide.

As you can see Spreadshirt is a site that lets you create custom tee-shirts, kind of like Cafe Press, but without all the set up hassles. I think it could be improved by allowing choice of tee shirt brand (they say American Apparel is an option, but I haven’t seen one tee shirt offering it). Also, more preset graphics would be cool, although a creative type could probably upload something sweet themselves.

Overall, ‘eh’.

What do you think?

I don’t know. Most of the things I see you guys writing about are a bit more sauve and manly. That just seems… well, it’s hard to put my finger on it, but it doesn’t fit with what I’ve seen from this blog.

I’m afraid I’ll have to agree, this qualifies as uncool in my book (colors, message…)

Thank you all for commenting! I even received an email from my girlfriend on this. The truth is though, I was just referring to the site (spreadshirt.com) NOT the example shirt pictured as of right now, we have no plans for a Urban Monarch tee shirt, I just put that together using their site to show off what it’s capable of. Seriously though, I think it’s mad cool that our readers would come out against something they don’t feel is “UM worthy” you guys, and girls, rawk, as always.

It’s tough to want any t-shirt for $20 - specially the inkjet printed fade after half dozen washes type of shirts from spreadshirt / cafe press type places.

It’s a fun technology, but the quality doesn’t justify the cost.

If you do decide to do T-shirts, there are plenty of real screen print shops that will give you a great price for great work. I’d be happy to refer you to a guy I use here In Detroit.
