    Impossible to tell because your link leads here: https://www.spreadshirt.co.uk/

    Not quite. The correct link is: https://sweetsweetshirt.spreadshirt.co.uk

    To start with - who are you trying to sell the t-shirts to (hint: the correct answer isn't "anyone who'll buy them")? What age? Where located? Why them? What makes your t-shirts gotta-haves?

    What do your customers think about your shirts? What are their favorites? Do they tell their friends?

    Dear Simon,

    You asked "Are My T-shirts Any Good?" and my answer is no,
    they're not. As Jay points out above, you MUST know who your
    buyers are and you don't know then it's your task to find out.

    Simply putting random designs together to see what sticks isn't
    doing you any good.

    At the moment your designs are all over the shop: your fractured
    graphics do none of the essential heavy lifting that an enterprise like this needs. And the sooner you ditch the vaguely Google-style shirt the better for you. If Google spot this "variation" on their brand, their legal department be all over you like a cheap suit.

    For an example of a t-shirt business that's gone from strength to strength you'd do well to look at the productions from the Life Is Good people https://www.lifeisgood.com (but again, do NOT copy their work, even in homage: find a look that's YOURS and yours alone. Likewise for https://www.howies.co.uk.

    So, find a look that's exclusively yours and one that appeals to your ideal buyer. Then test shirts in small batches, pull the weaker siblings and promote the strongest sellers. Rinse and repeat.

    I hope this helps and I really do wish you the best of luck.

    Jay's questions are the operative ones. Unless we are your specific target audience, how would we know if the designs are any good?

    I have spent a lot of time recently looking for the best t shirt printing deals I could find. There are some great suggestions. It all depends what angle you are coming from for example www.adlogo.co.uk supply a fantastic range of corporate equipment complete with logo.
