In poker - chips come and go. So you shouldn’t worry too much about winning or losing. Poker’s really all about how good you look at the table.
These funny poker shirts should help.
Whatever you do - just don’t lose the shirt on your back at the poker table and you’ll be alright.
If you’re a poker player you might appreciate this poker t-shirt that I found on CafePress. If you’re not, well, then I don’t really know what to tell you.
I found this ‘Hold’em Definitions’ T-Shirt on CafePress and thought it was worth a mention.
The t-shirt features a graphic that has a definition for the poker term “Outs.” Defined like this: “The cards left in the deck that will allow me to stick it in your poop chute.” Nice. Roughly translated I think that means their going to stick it in your ass. I don’t know - perhaps I’m wrong.
If you’re looking for a great selection of apparel and products to customize for your business or just for fun, CustomInk is a great place to find what you need. CustomInk is quickly becoming a leader in the online custom apparel design marketplace.
With a diverse product selection that includes everything from pens and koozies to bags and clothing, CustomInk offers a wide variety to its customers. They also have a large selection of brands to choose from including Hanes, Authentic, and Champion.
There are three options for printing on the apparel: digital, screen printing, and embroidery. The minimum orders are 6 pieces for screen printing and 12 for embroidery orders. These are pretty low for minimums when it comes to custom design work.
There is no minimum order for digital printing - so if you’d like to design a shirt for yourself or perhaps as a gift for somebody else, you can order a single unique t-shirt from CustomInk. This might be the perfect time to design that shirt for Grandma with the picture of her grandkids on the front.
CustomInk has a really nice catalog of design ideas that you can choose from. If you’re looking for a t-shirt to represent your sororities rush class or special event, they have some great ideas ready to be customized to your specifications. If you’re looking for a jersey for your softball team but aren’t much of an artist - you can choose a design from their design idea catalog and customize it with the names and numbers of your players as well as your team name.
If you want a little bit more control over your design you can upload your own artwork, or use their ‘design lab’ to create your own unique piece of clothing. In the design lab you can choose from a great selection of fonts to place text on your shirts, or you can even choose from over 10,000 images and pieces of art to use on your design. With such a large database of clip-art you are sure to find exactly what you want whether the shirts are for a company event or a family reunion.
One of the nice things that CustomInk does for its customers is to have a design professional review each order before it is printed. This insures that your order will come out exactly how you want it to and will be of the highest quality.
Unlike sites like CafePress, CustomInk doesn’t offer a way for people to upload designs and sell them in a marketplace, but this is a reason why CustomInk’s custom work quality is so high. There able to focus a lot of their work and energy to producing high quality custom t-shirt work for their customers. They aren’t distracted by other things, and it also allows them to offer things like screen printing and embroidery.
So if you’re looking for a place to create those custom t-shirts for your company event, or simply want to make a cute t-shirt for your kids, then CustomInk is a great place to do this.
Here’s a nice selection of poker t-shirts on CafePress. This first one I think is pretty funny - “Good Luck. I hope you come in second.” Isn’t that what you really mean when you wish somebody good luck that you’re competing against!?
And then here’s one you should buy you’re buddy who loves poker but isn’t very good at it. The “Dead Money” T-Shirt. Doesn’t everybody have one of those friends? Well, if not, maybe you should get this shirt for yourself.
Spreadshirt is quickly becoming a popular custom t-shirt site. Unlike CafePress, Spreadshirt allows you a lot more freedom on where you can print on a t-shirt, as well as allowing printing on the sleeves of the shirts. However, one of the disadvantages of Spreadshirt is that there is no formal marketplace like CafePress’s marketplace, therefore if you have a shop set up on Spreadshirt, you’re largely responsible for bringing traffic to your shop.
On Spreadshirt, you can upload your own designs to print on shirts, or you can use one of their stock images that have been uploaded by other people. If you want to load designs onto the site for others to use, you can, though images are screened before being made available to make sure they’re “cool” enough. You can set your own commission on any designs you upload.
Spreadshirt also offers premium shop services. You can even upgrade to a version of a shop where you can have custom invoices and logos, as well as zero advertising from Spreadshirt in your shop, for $10 a month. But like I said before, the site does little promotion for these shops, so it’s up to the shop owners to promote their own shops.
One of the things that is really neat about designing custom work on Spreadshirt is that if you choose to use one of the stock images from the site, you can add text and edit it in the t-shirt interface making your shirt truly unique. Features like this really outpace CafePress’ options, but promotion will probably make this site a bit more difficult to use for the new t-shirt shop owners.
So for design options I believe that Spreadshirt is better than CafePress, but ease of use goes to CafePress over Spreadshirt.
Speaking of CafePress, here’s another poker t-shirt from my poker t-shirt shop on CafePress. This is my ‘Fish and ATM‘ t-shirt that is perfect for wearing at the poker table when you’re surrounded by fish and people that lose lots and lots of money at the poker table. Might as well let them know what you think of their poker game, eh?
If you’re looking for a way to design your own t-shirts, without a lot of hassle or difficulty, then CafePress is a good place to start.
I’ve been using CafePress for about a year and a half now, and think the service is great. Of course, I also get a check from them each month for the t-shirts that I have sold through my CafePress shop.
Not only can you design 1 item to buy, you can put your design in your own CafePress shop which don’t cost a thing to start. By doing this you are offering your design to whoever wants to buy it. People can find your designs by visiting your shop, or by searching in the CafePress marketplace.
A basic shop is free, but is limited in the number of items that it can carry. Another option is to upgrade your shop to a premium shop - which costs $6.95 a month. I have 2 premium shops on CafePress. I haven’t paid the fee (out of my own pocket) since the first month. Since then I have always made enough in shirt sales to cover it.
You have the ability to control the pricing in your shop as well which is really nice. Each item has a base price. For example, if a white shirt base cost is $13.99, you can mark that price up to whatever you want in your shop. So if you sell the shirt for $19.99, you make $6.00 for each sale of that shirt.
My shops aren’t anything real special, but they do bring in a nice chunk of change each month and I don’t have to do anything to the shops - though I occasionally upload new designs.
If you would rather just design a single product, it’s super easy to do that as well. You can produce as many or as few of a product as you would like. For example - we had a special event that some friends and I put together. I designed a shirt and made one for each person. I wasn’t required to buy a certain amount or anything like that. You get what you want.
So, if for the holidays you want to send Grandma a shirt with a picture of her grandkids, you can do that or if you’ve always wanted a shirt with a picture of your dog on it - check out CafePress.
I have this t-shirt - the “I have words on my shirt” T-shirt in my CafePress Shop. You can get it in this really comfortable organic cotton t shirt or any number of other styles and colors.
Here’s another poker shirt from my poker shirt shop on CafePress. This is a poker variation of the popular I Love (Heart) T-Shirt. And, if you don’t want pink - it comes in other colors as well - lucky you.
Well, this is listed under poker t-shirts, but I guess if you were a triathlete, you could also wear the ‘Good Luck. I Hope You Come In Second’ T-Shirt. Marathoners and scrabble players as well. If I’ve left anybody out that can wear this shirt - please forgive me.
