Usually for t-shirts, it being screen printed is a sign of quality.
Is there a chance you're thinking about DTG (direct to garment) shirts. Those are the prints that break apart in the wash. When you see scam tshirt websites with 1000 different designs, those are DTG.
Screen printing ink last way, way long than DTG. I used to run DTG machines so I have seen first hand the deterioration happen over extended periods of time.
Sorry for being a screen printing evangelist, haha. I love tshirts and have worked in the industry a very long time.
I only buy screen printed shirts, if I can help it.
My favorite options right now for Michigan stuff that is screen printed is 47 brand and The Mitten State.
I just got this (and the matching tshirt) I really like stuff from this company, and they have really nice shirts. I have a handful of designs from them, all screen printed.
I do want to advocate for screen printing though. When done properly, the design should last years and years. If you're buying tshirts, I would absolutely make sure they are screen printed.
If you've bought a shirt online in the last 5 years, and the design really starts to break off the shirt quickly in the Dryer, then the shirt is most likely DTG (direct to garment). If you ever get a shirt and it smells a bit like vinegar, that is DTG.
DTG is cool, and allows people to have 'on-demand' designs and websites- but it is why you see so much untrustworthy shitty t-shirt sites everywhere.
If you're paying $30 a shirt it should last more than a few washes.
You all witnessed the power of incompletion jesus! He commanded Charlie Weis to call several pass plays instead of running the ball at the end of the game last year, allowing Tate to get the ball in his hands again... and well you know the rest.
I appreciate the feedback, but unfortunately, the design has a couple things that make this unprintable-- the block M and words "Go blue" respectively. Honestly I made this last year two days before the game without any intention to sell it. Instead, it was created for the noble art of being a douche to ND fans.
I definitely would love to make available to you guys, but I do sometimes make designs for the UGP store, so i'd rather not place any liability on them. Licensing is a total bitch. My computer is full of designs that I thought would make great shirts but were in some sort of violation in one way or another. Like this-

Apologies to the posters above with the toilet posts... but if it is worth anything I started this at nine before I saw your posts.
I have seen some gross things on the interweb, but the research photos for this design was hardly stomach-able.
