How come all the FSB clothEs and hoodies non of them are in black or any other color than white and grey. I would buy some hoodies and shirts if they were in a darker color. Greeece and MUDD do not like to come out of white shirts and this is a prob to that i wanted to ask or tell about.

Use ammonia in the laundry with the greasy grimy stuff and it will come right out. Coca Cola will do the same

Littleone...you sharing old southern secrets...there are almost as many uses for Coke as there is WD-40...and the cheap sodas aren't as good...also if you put a little Go-Jo it helps too...

the official word...

Hi!

We understand the great demand for black shirts. We'd love to offer them too! Unfortunately, while methods exist to produce them, we don't feel they are up to our standards.

Here are the details: Regardless of if you are screenprinting or printing digitally, when you print on a dark color, you need to print a white underbase. So essentially, you would print your entire design in white first, and then add your colors on top of the white. One way you can verify this is by feeling the print on a black shirt compared to a white shirt - the print on the black shirt will be thicker because of the additional layer of ink.

The problem is when printing digitally, there is no good way to lay down the white underbase with any precision. So the solution so far has been to essentially create a big white square and then print the design on the square. The resulting shirt has a really thick feel, doesn't wash well and has a big white square on it! So if you want a black shirt with red text, what you really get is a black shirt, big white square, and red text. If you have a full 8x10 square image, the results are actually not bad - but then there is the quality issue.

We are continually testing new processes in hopes that we can find a good solution to print on different colors. In fact, we have two partnerships with ink companies that are working on developing ink formulations for us to print on dark garments. So while I talk, some engineer somewhere is playing with inks for you. :)

Anyways, I hope this clarifys any questions you may have about dark garments. I'll end this post with on a positive note - we have come up with a few good ways to print on dark products that aren't shirts - like bags, cd wallets, etc - and you will be seeing these new products coming online soon.

Thanks!
