1. T-Shirt Print
Trends for 2019
Get ahead of the game! We consult our crystal ball to bring
you our predications for which t-shirt designs may be
trending in the coming year - by Tim Sobey, director of
Shirtbox.com

2. 1. POLITICS
In the UK, could Jeremy Corbyn get into Downing Street?
Maybe Donald Trump will be assassinated?
Will Putin take over the world?
Whatever happens, the new year may
well continue to bring some stark
changes on the political landscape, and
as politicians are indeed fair game, then this
could well be a big player on the custom T-shirt
design scene in 2019.

3. 2. SPORTS
With so many great sporting events in 2018, this was a no-brainer.
The Winter Olympics, The Super Bowl, The
Masters and The Commonwealth games
just to name a few.
Then there's all the usual suspects, The
FA Cup, The Six Nations, The European
Championships, Wimbledon, The Formula
One Season - They're all popular subjects as
well.
Some rising events could also see some great shirt ideas – The Gay Games,
the Invictus Games and one of my personal favourites, the World Women's
Volleyball Championships were all massively
popular events in 2018. Which sporting event t-shirts do you think we'll be
seeing in 2019?

4. 3. WAR/PEACE
Is large scale war brewing? Are we on the brink of WWIII?
Will Trump, Putin or May press that red
button?
Could this mean the return of popular
symbols like the CND or other such
campaigns, maybe looking at the other
side of it and we will see lots more
pro-war slogans? (I certainly hope not!)

5. 4. VEGANISM
As the global Vegan movement really starts to gather momentum, we're
definitely seeing more Vegan
and Vegetarianism T-Shirt
designs becoming popular
And don’t forget those taking
the mick out of them!

6. 5. POP CULTURE
With some pretty awesome films released in 2018,
the t-shirts were, of course, flooding along pretty
quickly.
The new Han Solo film, Jurassic World
Fallen Kingdom, Deadpool 2 and the
Predator, to name but a few.
Let the parodies continue in 2019!

7. 6. LEGALISE IT!
With so much changing on the global stage regarding Cannabis,
the subject is turning less and less taboo with
every week that passes.
I have absolutely no idea how many
different weed t shirt designs there are in
circulation right now, but it's a lot. And
you can bet your bottom dollar, there'll
be a whole lot more along next year!

8. 7. YEARS/PLACES OF BIRTH
This has really been a popular one this year.
For whatever reason, people really have a
connection with the year and place that
they were born. Birthday T-shirts with
the year you were born in, or a place
name that you're from, or both, will
continue to develop in 2019, who knows
where it will end!

9. 8. LGBT+
Again, a decreasingly taboo subject across the world.
As more and more people come out of their
various closets, so do the t-shirts!
Gay Pride sells tshirts and is likely to sell
even more in 2019...

10. 9. ANIMALS
People with pets love to show them off on a t-shirt.
But what will be the cool pet of 2019?
The Labradoodle?
Alpacas?
Snakes?
Giraffes?
Who knows, but you can be darn sure
they'll be appearing on at least a few t-shirt
designs for sure!

11. 10. HUMOUR
Where will the world's sense of humour be at next year, one can only guess!
Who will be this year's butt of the
joke?
I can name a few politicians in the
UK on a somewhat unsteady ground for
starters!

12. 11. HOODIES!
Printed hoodies seem to be becoming more and more popular all the time and
we predict this trend will continue into 2019.
Don't forget all our designs are
available not just on t-shirts, but on
hoodies, sweats and other
products too...

13. 12. YOU DECIDE!
In the very near future, we'll be offering you the ability to create your own t-shirt
using our fantastic new online t-shirt creation tool or modify one of our many
designs. We all want to be truly unique, so we'll be giving you the chance!
In the meantime though, please comment below with the design ideas you'd
most like to see in the future - If there's any I really like, we'll create it, stick it on
a t-shirt and mug and send it out to you free of charge :)
