Top 5 T-Shirt Niches That Will Dominate in 2025 (Low Competition & High Demand)

About this video

RJ Martinez — who claims over eight years in print on demand and over $500,000 in royalties on Amazon Merch alone — presents five low-competition t-shirt niches he says he found with Merch Informer by looking for low competition, search volume and a standout design angle, usable on Merch by Amazon, Redbubble, Teepublic, Etsy or a seller’s own site. 1) Dabbing tiger with sunglasses: he cites 100 bought in the past month at $13.99 and a consistent BSR, interprets the low price as a strategy to build sales velocity and ranking before raising the price, notes a search result count of 171, and shows Ideogram prompts, suggesting downloading just the tiger element and fixing its arm/hand. 2) ‘Your dad / my dad’ guitarist: a stick-figure comparison where ‘my dad’ plays electric guitar; he cites 50 bought in the past month and a result count of 117, calls it a Father’s Day idea that should also work evergreen into Q4, and suggests swapping in a drummer or other roles. 3) Yacht rock vintage fade / party boat drinking, including a ‘Making America Smooth Again’ boating variant: simple retro text designs, one listing cited at 4.9 out of 5 with 24 ratings and selling since 2021, result count 151. 4) Seashell coquette bow (with Hawaii/beach crossover): he says his research caught this style in late 2024; he cites $15.99, 50 bought in the past month, a result count of 524, and advises reusing the bow and shell elements as separate graphics. 5) ‘He’s golfing’: a two-word text design, cited as consistently selling since its first sale in May 2025 with the price raised from about $15.99 to $16.99, result count 214, with an Ideogram version replacing the ‘o’ with a golf tee and grass. He closes by pitching his Top Research Design Vault at $10 a month for weekly niche research, keywords and prompt suggestions.

Key takeaways

• The five niches are: dabbing tiger, ‘your dad/my dad’ guitarist, yacht rock, seashell coquette bow, and ‘He’s golfing.’
• Research method: use Merch Informer to combine low competition and search volume, then verify with BSR history, ‘bought in past month’ figures and Amazon result counts.
• A very low launch price is presented as a deliberate tactic to gain sales velocity and organic ranking, then raise the price once ranking.
• Use Ideogram prompts to generate variations, and extract single usable elements (tiger, bow, shell) rather than uploading output unchanged.
• Extend each concept by swapping one element — instrument/role, location, sport detail or wording — to create original adjacent designs.
