How to name your t-shirt business

  1. 1Check apparel trademarks carefullyT-shirt names are some of the most heavily trademarked. Search the USPTO database for apparel classes and avoid any name close to an existing label.
  2. 2Do not rely on a single design themeA name tied to one joke or niche will limit you when trends change. A flexible brand name lets you launch multiple collections.
  3. 3Make it fit on a tag and a labelNeck labels and hang tags are small. Names with two or three short words print legibly in small type.
  4. 4Decide on print-on-demand versus your own brandIf you sell through print-on-demand platforms, your shop name and your brand name may differ. Choose a name that works on marketplaces and your own Shopify store.
  5. 5Avoid copyrighted slogans in your shirts and nameUsing movie lines, song lyrics, or team names in designs can lead to takedowns. Build your brand on original phrases and art.

Naming a t-shirt business: FAQ

How do I check if a t-shirt business name is taken?

Search the USPTO trademark database in apparel classes, your state business registry, and platforms like Etsy, Amazon, Instagram, and Shopify. Check the domain and handles too.

Should my t-shirt brand name include tees?

It helps clarity at first, but limits you if you expand into hoodies and hats. A broader apparel or supply word is more flexible.

Can I use a pun for a t-shirt brand?

Puns are popular and fit the product. They are heavily used, so search carefully and add a unique word.

Do I need a DBA for my t-shirt shop?

If you sell under a name other than your legal name, most places require one. It also lets you open a business bank account for the brand.
