About the gaming niche
Gaming shirts sell to gamers and, just as often, to their parents. Teen boys are a big audience, which makes Christmas and birthdays the main sales moments.
Original jokes about gaming life (one more level, lag, rage quitting) work, but anything that references a real game or console is off-limits.
Design angles that sell
- Gamer humor: "I paused my game to be here"
- Pixel art and retro arcade styles
- Controller graphics with original layouts
- Gamer plus family role: gamer dad, gamer kid
What to avoid
- Game titles, characters and console designs are trademarked and frequently removed
- Controller shapes that copy a real console can also be flagged
