Graduation Summer Vibes: Hot T-Shirt Design Trends

About this video

The creator does live Amazon niche research for print on demand, arguing the method works on Merch by Amazon, Etsy, Redbubble, TeePublic or Spreadshirt because Amazon shows what is trending now. He focuses on graduation: ‘class of 2024’ shirts with low BSRs and rising prices, noting graduation runs through about the end of June across elementary, high school and college. His main find is the ‘Class of 2036’ grow-with-me shirt, where grades from kindergarten through 12th are checked off year by year, with consistent sales since 2023; he suggests getting ahead with 2037, 2038 and 2039 versions. He also explores last-day-of-school ideas built on current slang — ‘bye bro’ and ‘bro we out’ for students and teachers — in simple text and retro styles. Using Merch Informer’s trademark check and the USPTO site, he explains checking US classification 025 for shirts and tops before uploading, and warns viewers to double-check trademarks themselves on every platform.

Key takeaways

• Research trending current events on Amazon and apply the ideas on any print-on-demand platform you sell on
• Low BSRs across many results signal real demand — the graduation results shown cluster in the tens of thousands
• The ‘Class of 2036’ grow-with-me check-off concept can be extended early to 2037, 2038 and 2039 to beat competition
• Current student slang like ‘bye bro’ and ‘bro we out’ makes timely last-day-of-school designs for students and teachers
• Check trademarks in Merch Informer/USPTO for classification 025 (shirts/tops) yourself — a phrase can be trademarked for other goods but clear for tees
