The sonic and yoshi ones are decent, but the rest are pretty lame.

You made these? That's cool, but I'd say put a little bit more personality in it. All you really did was take box covers or snapshots from the game. Check out some other game shirts and see how yours compares. I would never where a white shirt with a BIG ugly square front and center on it, and that's how most of them are. Good luck.

You definitly need to change a lot of those shirts. Just sticking a big photo on the front and back usually comes out looking and feeling very cheap-looking and generally awful. You need to put some design into them and give them some interesting and original flair, and definitly avoid just plastering 2 massive transfers onto a shirt.

Plus your prices seem waaay too cheap for any type of decent quality printing.

EDIT:

Also, taking copyrighted material, slapping it on a TShirt and then selling it for profit is almost certainly illegal, especially if you haven't added any of your own creativity to it.

Those almost have to be iron-ons. If they are, it surprises me that black is offered as a shirt color.

That would, at least, explain the relatively large price difference between "front only" and "front and back" shirts.

There are backing films that can be used for dark fabric, although I think those require an actual heat press and not just an iron.

The worst part isn't so much the copyright infringement (plenty of novelty shirt places get away with that every day), it's that every single one of his box art shirts has the Official Nintendo Seal of Quality on it. You know, Nintendo? The company that threatened to sue the author of a Neo-Geo Pocket emulator because the name had "Pokemon" in it as part of an obvious joke?

I like the one with the Sonic the Hedgehog 1 logo.

I thought the 'Blow Me' one was pretty funny, but they are all pretty poorly made.

Really man, you gotta try harder. The designs are bland and the one liner ones need some serious typography help.

Also, think about posting an image of a person already wearing the shirt to give us an idea of how "cool" it would be.

I definately recommend reading some designing basics books and brush up on photoshop cause it looks like no real effort went into this. Just seems like a quick "get rich" scheme.
