I am looking at starting a new venture and I need some feedback. I have an idea on how this will end, but I want to ask anyway. So, what is your favorite color on hot rod t-shirts?
Any color that goes with grease… or weld burns… or grinding grit rust… gray is best. But then again, I’m colorblind so I’m not really the best person to comment
Don't really care much anymore, but the design matters. As does the placement. I've refused Btt50's shirts because of these, same for Roth-stuff & the like. Even Studebaker shirts... Since I'm from where it gets cold off-n-on a couple times a year, I want it on the front. +, on the back helps me sweat like a pig in the car/truck seats - not nearly as much fun as it's purported to be... Marcus...
I like the traditional white for hot rod stuff, followed closely by a light gray. The vibrant colours should be in the artwork. Black works too, but I see black as more the colour of the drag racing set. Of course, it all depends on whether it is a shirt for working on the car or a shirt for dressing up and going to an event.
Drag racers, goths, and grots like me who can't walk five paces without spilling something on my shirt Cheers, Harv
Black. But I'm picky about the pocket, gotta have a pocket on my T shirts for my reading gl***es. Decades ago, it was for smokes.
Gray. Followed by white. It seems so many tee shirt places default to black, but I'm from Texas and have no desire to wear a black shirt and get cooked by the sun.
You forgot earth colors. I still have a 30 year old Terra-Cotta color T shirt with print i bought at Four Corners when the Navajo natives were selling from little makeshift tin sheds. Still a decent well worn T shirt as is the other one i bought which was grey with print.
Yep. Last time I was at the Winternationals at Willowbank in 2024 (major drag racing event in Australia) I pointed it out to my daughter. She was with me and wearing her customary black drag racing t shirt, along with almost everybody else that was there. I teased her about wearing the "uniform" and being one of the many sheep waiting in long lines to get in through the gates.......... I think her reply was a short two word response.
Black and only black. I won't buy any other color, even if they have one of my cars on them. I ruin any other color as I am a dirt magnet.....
I know it is not the question you asked, but are you considering long sleeve? Are they give aways, or are you selling them? Logos and graphics still have a pretty good contrast on grey, and they don’t look dingy right away like white does. I wear the long sleeve concert type shirts three seasons of the year.
Black , if you're putting a logo or something on it - it shows up well and black helps the more rotund a**** us look less so . so im told
**L normally, but if it’s for dress up, then **XL! Loose and baggy pants, then they think you’ve been dieting…
Black now days,if I put one on,for playing in the garage< dose not show **** I get on it. For a lot of years,white was the go too,when I did art on them,or were a keepsake with add* print from event I got it from. All the old car club shirts,I airbrushed painted for clubs,are long gone or in rag bags likely,,,.
