A t-shirt with a simple design, striped in two colors
A T-shirt is a garment that is used to cover the trunk . It can be an inner or outer garment , depending on the model .
General characteristics
Generally, a T-shirt lacks a collar or pockets and does not have buttons (although some may have two or three buttons to enlarge the opening through which the head passes). The most common ones have short sleeves , but there are also long-sleeved t-shirts.
Known as t-shirts , t-shirts , polos or flannels depending on the region and type of garment, t-shirts usually extend to the waist . In any case, some women's t-shirts leave the navel exposed and others reach almost to the knees .
In the case of t-shirts that are part of underwear , they are used as a coat and do not have prints or drawings. T-shirts for outdoor use, on the other hand, display different images and can even be used to spread political proclamations or manifestos .
Among the most popular t-shirts can be those with characters from comic strips or cartoons ( caricatures ). Models with photographs of personalities such as athletes or musicians are also widely used.
Sports T-shirts
Sports shirts , meanwhile, are used by soccer players, basketball players and other athletes. It is common for team supporters to wear the same shirts as professional athletes.
Take the case of football . Real Madrid players, for example, wear a white shirt, while Barcelona FC 's shirt is blue and maroon. Manchester United 's shirt, meanwhile, is red.
Just as in the case of music, the idea of wearing a shirt of our favorite team is to promote it and express our admiration . Of course, it can also be used as a provocative resource, if we show it off in an environment belonging to the rival team, something that can lead to fights of varying severity.
Custom designs
Although t-shirts with designs tailored to the consumer have existed for decades, in street stalls and commercial stores, thanks to the massification of the Internet and the convenience that home delivery services provide us, this option has become especially popular since late from the 90s.
Today there are several possibilities, both for the person who wants to order a personalized design for a t-shirt, and for those who simply want to buy a rare one that cannot be found in conventional stores. As with almost all areas of the market, there are a large number of companies that offer this service, so the first step is to investigate to find the one that satisfies the greatest number of our expectations.

For the final consumer, the limit is set by his own pocket and the options offered by the store he has chosen: the material of the shirt, the color, the presence or absence of sleeves and their length, the shape of the neck, the quantity and print quality, etc. In addition, not only can you choose designs created by the sellers, but it is also possible to send them your own image, be it a photograph or a drawing, so that the final product is truly unique.
For those who want to promote their brand , this market is very useful and requires much less effort than it would have taken before the Internet. We do not need to order t-shirts with our logo to display in a physical store, but rather create a virtual one, design the different models that we want to offer to our followers and simply promote them through our social networks, so that they are just printed and sent when the users buy the t-shirts. In other words, it is a service that works on demand .
