Personalized Bowling Shirts

The envy of all bowlers everywhere are personalized bowling shirts.  Each shirt takes on the identity of its owner and expresses that personality in a unique way.  Adding a personal touch to this iconic shirt adds a special spark to your weekly bowling night.  Most bowlers have their name on their shirt, but these shirts can go way beyond the small moniker on the front of the chest.  These can include unique designs, personal slogans or catch phrases, art work or even photos.  One of a kind color schemes can be woven into the design as well.

One of the keys to making great personalized bowling shirts is taking the time to come up with a unique and expressive design.  Some of the design elements include the type of shirt, color scheme, name, team name, sponsor’s information, and the unique message or image your bowler would like to express. The type of shirt can be the classic collared button down shirt, the tee shirt or the polo shirt.  The color scheme must be chosen to mesh with the art work that will be applied later as well as the sponsor’s logo and the overall color of the shirt.  Be sure to leave space for all of the elements to be easily seen.

Personalized bowling shirts should express the unique personality of the wearer.  Each person wants to express themselves in a positive way in an environment that is important to them. The bowling enthusiast takes his or her game very seriously and wants to make a strong visual impression.  It is important that you spend time planning what the shirt will look like. But first you need to explore what aspects of the wearer are most important and most unique.  You might include references to other hobbies they may be passionate about like fishing or hunting.  Perhaps the color scheme of their favorite pro team will add the element most people associate with them.

You may want to gather information from more than just the wearer. It could yield some interesting information to get the perspective of people that are close to the subject wearer.  They may have strong connections with the person that the person does not recognize themselves.  Many times people are associated with certain phrases, logos, or products.  You have to be careful not to infringe on copyrights when you print the shirt. This is especially true if you are charging a fee for making the shirt.

Once you having gathered enough information to make the personalized bowling shirts you need to begin designing the lay out for the shirt itself.  List all the items that will appear on the shirt including the name, team name, sponsor’s information, and the personal art work, images, or phrasing for the bowler.  With this list in mind, you need to choose a color scheme that will accommodate each piece. These have to be integrated so that a portion of the shirt isn’t a mismatch.  Be careful of the spacing as well so each element is clear and makes an impact.
