6 Trending T-Shirt Niches You Need to Sell Right Now!

About this video

RJ Martinez walks through six t-shirt niche ideas he says are trending, using Merch Informer sales data (BSR charts, ratings, and Amazon search-result counts) to show demand for each. The six are: (1) a skeleton truck driver design (4.7 stars, 19 ratings); (2) an ‘I’m thinking’ chess design using a computer loading-wheel concept (4.8 stars, 525 ratings), which he suggests adapting to other niches with help from ChatGPT; (3) a hockey referee joke, ‘I’m not arguing, I’m just explaining why it wasn’t a penalty’ (4.7 stars, 16 ratings, 421 results), adaptable to any sport with referees; (4) a cross-niche ‘Love is like pi’ design mixing Pi Day and Valentine’s Day for math teachers (111 results), which he praises because cross-niching cuts competition; (5) ‘Snow Day Supporter’ with a snowman, a newer design he says sold about 50 in the past month (194 results); and (6) ‘Spread Kindness Like Snowflakes,’ which started selling in November 2024 (611 results). He also pitches his Top Research Design Vault ($10/month, 700+ researched niches with weekly additions) and demonstrates Merch Informer’s Merch Hunter tool, filtering by reviews and excluding brands to find low-competition, consistently selling designs, while reminding viewers to check trademarks and copyright.

Key takeaways

• Use BSR charts in Merch Informer to spot designs that sell consistently over time, not just one-off spikes.
• Cross-niching two events or audiences (e.g., Pi Day plus Valentine’s Day for math teachers) reduces competition while targeting passionate buyers.
• Take a proven design concept and adapt it to a different niche or sport rather than copying it directly.
• Seasonal winter designs like ‘Snow Day Supporter’ and ‘Spread Kindness Like Snowflakes’ can become repeat Q4/winter sellers.
• Always check trademarks and copyright before creating a design inspired by research, even when using Merch Hunter filters.
