What is a Good Size for a Logo on a Shirt?

If you're printing a logo on the front of t-shirts, the ideal size is about 11" x 12.5" for adult men, 9" to 11" for adult women, and 9" to 10.5" for youth shirts. This is the most common area to print a graphic, so use these measurements for the best look.

Who Invented the T-Shirt?

The t-shirt was first worn by the U.S. Navy in 1913. Like other military fashion, plain white tees eventually became fashionable for civilians. T-shirts went on to be advertised in Sears's famous catalog, and were eventually worn by celebrities like James Dean, Marlon Brando, and Elvis Presley.
