Hey guys, I have seen a litany of one side print shirts lately, not just wrestling, but band merch and generic print t's as well. Does this bother any one else? Also, what happened to fan designed shirt competitions like back in the day?
I love my 2 sided shirts, as they feel more complete, and creative, as well as make the price point feel ok. Seems to me that so many are running front side prints only and I am paying the same (I know they make a bit more, albeit not much more, money for this), but the asthetic and ability to connect with passerbys seem lost.
For example, I will say WWE doesn't skimp as much on 2 sided designs, which is cool, but I know people will say, much like AEW, sometimes the designs are too basic or not creative, which is a problem in itself. On PWT, tons seem to be front print only, even say the old WWF Headbangers shirt, which used to be 2 sided.
Not to forget this part, I really liked when they gave people a shot to be creative and get to the masses with their art. Quality and quantity.
I hope I am not the lone old man yelling at the clouds, as another wfig user said the other day, and this is at least an interesting convo for yall..
Much respect to you all.
VPV

I like 2 sided concert shirts better. As long as the band is receiving profits from it.
As for WWE shirts, the last one I bought was over 20 years ago. The Cactus Jack wanted poster logo. But what pissed me off was the huge WWF logo on the back of the shirt by the neck. I wore it a few times & then stuffed it in the dresser drawer of no return.

With my concert shirts I definitely want a logo on front and tour dates on back. The webstore ones seem to mostly be the 1 siders for some reason. They just don't seem as good to me. And oddly, I always wanted the WWF logo on the back, preferably small under a back words graphic, but I was cool either way. Was the size of the logo the issue? I did see most are small logos on the neck area now. |

The size & font were the problem. Just ugly. |

To me things only on the front of shirts make them seem more bootleg. I am a fan of both sides of the shirt.

I hate having anything printed on the back of a shirt. Makes me feel like something is stuck to my back.

Definitely prefer two sided. Though sometimes the back design beats the design on the front.

I'm on the verge of designing my own t-shirts, but I will say. I love both front and back designs. I just think that a lot of today's t-shirts look too identical in terms of composition.

I never liked how the Big Dogs shirts had the graphics on the back of the shirt. You know the ones with the parodies on them

My brother-in-law does this for a living. It may look easy, but when you do a lot of colors it gets time consuming. |

I know screen print vs digital print is a thing, and both are super hard, but I will say, when I was looking to get shirts made, the more colors on one shirt you are willing/able to make puts people in a unique spot in the industry. So many vendors don't do full color, like photo realistic, but it is definitiely wanted by some creators, and super rare to find. |

I prefer them just on the front. I’m not really into just the small logo by the pocket type though.

When it comes to wrestling shirts, it depends. I don't mind 2 sided logo's on some, but some look awful. It can just be too much, but they have done some really good ones. I always prefer just the front to have the logo/design, but I think it's the fact most Wrestling shirts are black with white logo's that when the print is on the back as well it just looks a mess, especially with some of the god awful logo's they use.

I prefer one sided. Probably because I get a lot of my shirts from Redbubble which only allow printing on one side. The only two sided shirts I have are from concerts that have the tour dates on the back.

Great responses everyone. Valid points by all. I wonder if regional preferences play a part for some? ex: Here in Texas it is hot, so we wear few jackets and 2 sided kind of tells our likes to all sides, but a colder climate might have less use for a back print because of a jacket?

Definitely prefer two sided. Though sometimes the back design beats the design on the front. I recently bought this shirt and it is absolutely the back design that sold me on it. I prefer double sided shirts but in colder months it's not ideal because no-one will ever see the back when I have a hoodie on.  |

That Simpsons shirt is awesome,Milhouse HBK is great but needs Ralph and that thing would be perfect.Now I love to see one of them with current WWE and AEW rosters.
