A t-shirt blog that we are a big fan of here at You Design It needs your help.  Andy, at Hide Your Arms, is offering a great deal on Threadless gift certificates.  He has some $25 gets certificates to Threadless and he is selling them for $17 each.  The guy needs a new computer, and quite frankly, we want him to make his goal.  We don’t want to imagine the t-shirt blogosphere without Hide Your Arms. .

He is raising money to get a new laptop, because his current one is on its last leg.  It is nice when someone is raising money and they are offering a heck of a deal, because too many times people just ask for handouts.  This would be a great buy even if there wasn’t a good reason behind it.  Good luck Andy, we hope this helps!

We are proud to announce the launch our new t-shirt videos aggregate site You Design It TV. We recently put the finishing touches on the site and thought there was no better place to make the announcement than the official You Design It blog.

The site will be updated often with embedded videos from video sites such as YouTube, Vimeo, Blip and more. They will cover a wide array of topics that are all t-shirt related. We hope you can learn, laugh, or be inspired by the videos we are hand-selecting from the web for posting on the site. Please let us know if there are any videos of yours that you would like for us to feature on You Design It TV. We will be more than happy to do so.

Signs are pointing in the direction that the worst is behind us in terms of the poor economy! We have a long way to go but we’re glad everything is moving in the right direction. Even so, we’ll still be known for cheap custom t-shirts because you shouldn’t have to pay a lot to get high quality. Please let us know how You Design It can help you out with your next t-shirt project.

We recently printed a job for a division of the United States Armed Forces in Afghanistan. The t-shirts were dropped off at the USPS with an APO address on a Wednesday and made it to our customer on the following Monday. That is faster than some domestic shipping times. We were especially happy when our customer called that morning to tell us they were “astounded” with the job we did. They were very happy with the quality of our work and blown away by the speed.

I have to admit, it never gets old hearing this kind of feedback! 

We have been extremely busy improving the user experience at You Design It in every possible way. We looking at every possible way to make You Design It the most pleasurable way to design t-shirts and purchase custom products on the web. Please stay tuned to our updates as we continue to work hard behind the scenes!

With the temperature already dropping and winter just around the corner we thought now was an ideal time for us to turn our attention toward hoodies!  You design it has a great selection of hoodies which are, of course, full customizable.

With hoodies on the brain we also decided that now was a great time to find the three coolest designs.  However, as soon as we went in search of these great designs we were overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of top-notch options.  With that in mind we decided to further break down our selections into colorful prints and black & White/simple prints (look for our colorful prints selection in an upcoming blog!).  So now it is our pleasure to bring you three of the coolest, black & white hoodie designs:

Quiksilver Pullover Hoodie

This terrific looking print features a skull surrounded by flowers and supported by feathered bird’s wings.  The artwork is terrific and really does appear to ‘fly’ off the hoodie.

Obey ‘Money Seal’ Zip Hoodie

It’s hard not to love this stylish hoodie.  This is one of the best all over prints we’ve seen recently either on a hoodie or a T-Shirt.  You have to admire the intricacy and creativity of the design.

Evisu Genes Heritage Hoodie

This one is definitely the winner of our little top black and white hoodie designs.  Another terrific all over print with an eye catching, albeit very busy design, and then to top it all off some sharp looking embroidery to really make the whole thing pop.  Awesome!
