Father's Day T-Shirt Designs That Will EXPLODE Your Sales in 2024!
About this video
The creator researches Father’s Day designs on Amazon (Father’s Day is June 16, 2024) to get a head start before the trend peaks, arguing you want momentum by being early on Etsy, Redbubble, or Amazon. Using Merch Informer (Merch Hunter/product research, searching ‘Father’s Day’) and BSR charts, he looks for low competition and designs whose BSR is trending down as the holiday approaches. Ideas include ‘first time uncle 2024’ — mixing a first Father’s Day with a new uncle, extendable to aunt, first-time father, and future years — softball/baseball grandpa shirts that cross sports with grandpa/great-grandpa gifting, and cooking dad designs that cross ’number one dad’ with occupations (chef hat and spoon, doctor, lawyer, teacher) and with barbecue season. Other concepts: ‘promoted from dog dad to human dad’ (swap in cat, iguana, or other animals), a fruit dad design where a letter is replaced by a fruit (strawberry, grapes, blueberries, watermelon — also adaptable to Mom), matching pizza-and-slice dad/son shirts that sell two shirts instead of one and suit Instagram photos, and the simple text design ‘ain’t no hood like fatherhood.’ He repeatedly warns to check trademarks and avoid designs that feel infringing, noting he has done this research approach for over seven years.
Key takeaways
- Research seasonal designs early on Amazon and watch BSR trending down as the holiday nears — ’the data does not lie’ — to catch momentum before competitors.
- Use Merch Informer’s Merch Hunter search for the holiday keyword and prioritize low-competition phrases you can be first or unique with.
- Cross-niche Father’s Day with family roles (first-time uncle/father, grandpa, great-grandpa), sports (softball, baseball, football, basketball), and occupations (cooking, doctor, lawyer, teacher).
- Matching dad-and-child designs (e.g., whole pizza and slice) can turn one sale into two, and simple text-based designs can sell without advanced art skills.
- Always double-check trademarks and skip ideas you suspect infringe — he specifically cautions against jumping on celebrity-driven designs such as the Taylor Swift shirts he was seeing.
