Default T-Shirt Preference?

Starting a new business venture that will include a line of custom designed t-shirts including some that will be limited editions.

I always see a prominence of black t-shirts among the biker community and started this poll to in fact see if that is the preferred color or is it only because that is mostly what the MoCo and others offer.

To the unofficial forum police I say yes, I am working on becoming a forum sponsor and will be one before I offer anything for sale on this site.

Primo, good luck with your business.
I tried making a little side job about 12 years ago selling my own design shirts, it was harder than I thought. One of my best friends does it still for side cash.

I will say the darker colors are better sellers. When my friend prints I tag along and I found that AAA Stlye brand shirt are the best. Durable and comfortable. Especially the bigger sizes.

When you get started PM me I would love to check it out
Again good luck bro!

My standard uniform when I'm off work is blue jeans, and a short sleeved black t-shirt.

I like black but the heavy dye a lot of them use makes black shirts kinda itchy for me.

Good luck! I wear all colors, except red. Just a personal thing I guess.

I think more important than the colors is the material. I personally don't like the heavier cotton t-shirts...they seem stiff and don't fit well. I prefer the lighter, softer material...they're more comfortable and fit much better. As far as colors go, black of course and any other colors as long as they're not too bright....kind of that worn out look I think would sell. Girls on the other hand might like brighter colors. Good luck to you!
