As Liz from PopCultureTees.com – the creator of the brand new t-shirt forum TeeDesignTalk.com told me the other day – “one forum (no names mentioned :p) out there is definitely the big boy of the industry – but I’ve always considered them more of an industry forum than a designer forum. When I was working in the screen printing industry, they were my first stop for technical questions…. not so much for design questions. They are definitely grumpy! I think that with all the people who are participating in sites like emptees and threadless there’s a whole new set of people who are interested in t-shirts, but coming from an entirely different direction. They’re the people who are design cool stuff, not t-shirts for schools and churches.”

I couldn’t agree more with Liz and hopefully you are also in agreement, we need to step up the evolution in the world of t-shirts and reflect the massive developments in our industry, it’s true that since the emergence of sites like Threadless.com there has been a noticeable key change in the attitude and culture of both designers and consumers of the beloved tee. read more

Friend of Buy Tees and fellow t-shirt reviewer Gino Orlandi of the fab t-shirt blog ColorOverload.com has just opened his t-shirt forum at http://www.coloroverload.com/t-shirt-forum/.

It’s always good to see people like Gino helping to rally the community together, designers, fans, bloggers, and every other passer-by who’s been pulled in by our fascinating little corner of the fashion world. It’s already building up quite nicely with a gamut of different posts covering every t-shirt related subject under the sun.

The latest trends, new t-shirt designers, labels and stores, the next trend, technical advice, and even a few charitable plugs in there. It’s a relief to finally see a decent alternative to T-shirtForums.com – not my favourite t-shirt related forum although currently the largest and most established. I used to find it useful, but seeing as parts of it have been left so neglected over the years (one update in the news section in three years), it’s seems like the perfect time to challenge their stranglehold over the industry.

I wish Gino all the best with this new and somewhat ambitious addition to his excellent t-shirt blog, and hope to see all of you down there posting as if your life depended on it :p
