4. A picture paints a thousand words

Gone are the days of brochures and flyers. With the advent of social media, people have become intolerant of lengthy text; instead, they have become voracious consumers of images. Eye-catching images are suddenly evocative, and one-word statements are suddenly appealing and full of impact.

5. It confronts without being confrontational

Let’s face it – we are faced with various societal issues today. Not many people however, are comfortable to talk about them. Let your shirt be your way of participating in the dialogue – subtly, yet strongly. Let the subtlety of your shirt be a strong expression of your advocacy, belief, and values.

6. It can empower to take action

The images and words on a shirt need not only inform and educate, but it can also invite a person to a response. All you have to do is provide a “call to action”, and you are not only making the other person aware of your advocacy, but also inviting him/her to participate and take action about the matter.
