What to put on a FREE shirt
A FREE shirt has three lines: the top word, the name, and an optional second line under it. Here's what people put on theirs.
The top word
FREE is the classic, and it's set by default. You can change it to anything up to 14 characters (letters, spaces, apostrophes, hyphens, periods and &). Some that work:
- FREE MY, for FREE MY DAWG, FREE MY HOMIE, FREE MY BROTHER, FREE MY SON
- FREE DA, for FREE DA GUYS or FREE DA BOYS
- FREE THE, for FREE THE GUYS
- BRING HOME, for BRING HOME JUNIOR
The name
Use the name everybody calls them, not the one on the paperwork. Big Dre reads better from across the street than Andre Lamont Williams. Nicknames, initials and titles all work: Tony B, JR, Pops, Mama, Unc. Up to 28 characters, and long names are measured letter by letter so they fit across the chest.
Second lines
Up to 32 characters: letters, numbers, spaces, apostrophes and . , & # ! ? -
- UNTIL HE COMES HOME
- UNTIL SHE COMES HOME
- STAY STRONG
- LOVE YOU FOREVER
- HOME SOON
- HOLD YA HEAD
- WE GOT YOU
- EST. 1998, the year they were born
- HOME 2027, the release year if you know it
- #FREEDRE, the hashtag people are already posting
Picking a photo
The photo is optional and prints between the top word and the name. A few things make it print well:
- One face, looking at the camera, in good light. Visit-room photos and old pictures both work.
- Use the original, not a screenshot of a screenshot. If the photo is too small, the builder tells you it may print soft.
- Tick "remove background" for a clean cutout. Black and white or the one-colour stencil can rescue a blurry or dark photo.
- Portrait for a face, square for a head and shoulders, wide for two or three people together.
Only upload photos you have the right to use. We check every photo, and won't print violence, gore, hate or sexual content.
The lettering
Four styles: Stencil (our house look), Old English, Marker and Block. The builder shows each one with your words, so try them all.
Black or white
On a black shirt the lettering prints white. On a white shirt it prints black. Switch the colour in the builder and the preview changes with it, so try both.
