Popular T-Shirt Styles
When it's all said and done...a t-shirt is still the most popular promotional item. A t-shirt is the most common way to promote your brand, image, slogan, or company name.

There are many t-shirt options for your marketing needs; before placing your next t-shirt order let's consider a few common styles in the promotional marketing industry.
The Performance Shirt
Best used for the active individual because of its moisture-wicking quality. If your customer-base is very active or the event you are sponsoring or promoting will induce sweating, a Performance Shirt will be ideal. These shirts are made of polyester and will quickly dry moisture and sweat. Additionally, the Performance Shirt tends to be wrinkle resistant and will keep its color longer. After repeated use by active individuals the Performance Shirt will last the test of time and your company brand will stay relevant in the eyes of your customers.
The Eco-Friendly Shirt
Believe it or not, a shirt can be made with a variety of recycled fabrics and materials. Most Eco-Friendly shirts are made with organic 
cotton, which means the cotton is grown without the use of chemicals or pesticides. The option to wear a shirt that is environmentally responsible can impress your more selective customers and certainly goes a long way in an environmentally-conscious society. Eco-Friendly shirts are available in many styles, offering your customers many options for a successful and safe promotional product.
The 50/50 Shirt
The benefits of polyester and the comfort of cotton combine to create the 50/50 shirt. As we learned about the Performance Shirt, polyester is best for high levels of activity and moisture-wicking. Cotton adds the comfort, giving the shirt a worn and soft feel. It's like getting the best of both in one shirt! The other perk of a 50/50 shirt is that it won't have significant shrinking after washing. The 50/50 Shirt is a popular style for promotional giveaways as it light and has a relaxed fit; definitely a style to consider to appeal to your customers.
