The best and effective way of promoting your band is through your own Band T-shirt. Wearing your own shirt and being proud of it is the best way to go. You can design your t-shirt as simple or as complex as you want, as long as it’s unique and represents your band the best.
You may start on creating your band’s own t-shirt by deciding on what your shirt should look like. Decide on colors and images to put on your shirt. You can print your t-shirts either in front, back or on the sleeves. You can do anything possible with your band shirt, just make it sure it’s unique and eye catching. But remember not to over do your shirt design so that it won’t be an eye sore. Create something that you will be proud to wear and show off, something that would best represent your bands attitude and groove. You can also put your band’s logo in your t-shirt design, or even the picture of your entire band. Or you can go for the more popular vintage band shirt look, to please the younger crowd.
The most common color of the t-shirt use in printing your design on is black and white. Since the designs have two or more colors and image, it will look great on a plain neutral t-shirt. But if you prefer other t-shirt color, like maroon, yellow or blue, you should use minimal colors on your design; if possible using one color is enough. This is to prevent your shirt on looking like a mess.
Band T-shirts are very versatile and it can help you greatly in your bands promotions. You can wear this during your gigs or you can even use this in a band camp. Of course since the main purpose of having band shirt is to promote your band, you should initially give it to people free of charge. What’s great about this is that you can use it to raise some funds. If your band, lets say, has gained enough attention and fame, you may start selling your shirts. You can sell your band shirt and gain a little profit and use it for your band expenses. Or you can divide the profit within your band members. You can also sell your band shirt and use the profits for a good cause, like helping other people or giving free music lesson for the less fortunate kids. There are lots of things you can do with profits.
