A Guide to Daily T-Shirt Sites on the Internet

One of the greatest things about the t-shirt industry’s growth in recent years is the fact that it means you’ll never have to be caught wearing the same tee as anyone else you know. And if you really want to ensure that you’ve got the most unique shirts around, you’ll definitely want to check out the T-Shirt of the Day trend. Here are all the shirt a day sites you need to know about:


Shirt.Woot is the industry giant, sometimes selling as many as 3000 copies of one design in just 24 hours. Since this tee selling came about as an expansion of a technology website, nerd and geek friendly humor is the norm here. While each shirt is only sold at $10 for one day, scrolling down the front page to the Raid Our Closet link will reveal the recent bestsellers, each available at $15 for a limited time. And if themes intrigue you, keep your eyes peeled during the weekend, when the top three winners of each of their themed shirt design contests are rolled out.


TeeFury might be called the more artistic-leaning of the genre, typically featuring more illustrative or experimental works than much of the competition. While that is often the focus, though, humor and pop culture also have their day in the sun. One unique aspect of TeeFury is that a larger percentage of site members are artists themselves, which has led to large-scale t-shirt design collaborations that often feature the work of 50+ people. All shirts are sold for $9.


Design By Humans is a non-typical shirt of the day site, qualifying in the genre by offering new designs at a heavily reduced price for the first 24 hours. DBH’s trademarks are high quality and high art, so you’ll be see a lot of incredible illustration and interesting printing techniques (including embroidery and metallic foils) here. Weekdays only.

Uneetee is an interesting case, as they used to sell one design a day. The current model used is a bit more flexible, typically offering one new design each week at a reduced price ($12) and each day offering another from the catalog, called the Insaneetee, for $10. This gives deal hunters the unique option of trying to time buys just right, so as to pick up two designs at lower than usual prices.

Teextile is fairly new to the game, but is already making a name for themselves with two interesting features. One is a willingness to print huge and all-over designs, something most sites avoid to keep costs down. The other is that all printed tees are first voted on by the community, so by actively participating you can influence the artistic direction of the site. New designs are offered each weekday at $12, and are available for the rest of the week at $15.

RIPT is the new kid on the block, with a name playing on the idea that each design will “Rest in Peace” after the 24 hours are up. So far the site has been defined by a willingness to take chances, which means they print work that is very varied (recently featuring an abstract blobby creature back-to-back with a highly detailed warrior illustration. These tees are just $10 each.

Shirt A Day tends towards one-liners and slogans, but they’ve also got a neat trick up their short sleeves- namely, that you can choose what color and clothing item you’d like the design printed on. In another neat twist, the price of your shirt drops as more people buy.
*end of the list*
That’s a lot of sites to keep track of, but luckily a couple of aggregator sites are willing to do some of the work for you. Check out TeeMagnet for a visual guide to the day’s available shirts, or ShirtsOnSale for reviews. Neither site has a complete list, but both will put you on the right track to daily shirt success.
