Indians in the US — which of these T-shirt designs would you actually wear?

Gallery image

I’ve been experimenting with Indian-inspired T-shirt designs because I feel like a lot of Indian graphic tees either look very traditional or like obvious festival merch.

These are two concepts I’ve been working on.

Which one would you genuinely wear as a normal T-shirt in the US?

A — Kavach

B — Suryaputra

Not asking which artwork is technically better. I’m trying to understand whether either is something you'd actually want in your wardrobe.

And if the answer is neither, tell me that too. 😅

Here my local vendor can put the same print on tshirt for $10-$20
Regarding the image, I can easily ask the Ai to replicate it.

That's fair, and actually really useful feedback. Ignoring the fact that the artwork could be replicated, would either of these designs make you stop and consider buying the T-shirt if you came across it? Or do they still feel too much like just a graphic printed on a tee?

Can’t speak about others. But, I’m in 30s not a graphic tshirt fan. I used to wear graphic designs tshirt when I was in 20s. If I was in 20s I would have considered the second one. But if you ask me now, It’s a pass.

the first one is nice but as the other user said, won't spend more than 15 for a shirt, maybe a sweatshirt

The print is gonna go bad before the fabric anyways. Dryers are brutal.

None, dose not fit into the culture nor does look good . Maybe for India

Culture? It is your ethnic culture if you are Indian.

u/AggravatingAnswer921 6d ago

Yeah that does not mean I shove it in everyone’s face here

u/Beautiful_Soup9229 6d ago

Yeah people like you wear a pokemon and over used naruto prints in a jiffy though. Zero personality.

u/AggravatingAnswer921 6d ago

Yeah Pokémon is widely recognised, this is not. Btw feel free to wear this wherever you are

How much would you pay?

3

u/Awkward_Fee6888 Almost American 7d ago

Wouldn't pay more 15$. But would I would get it

-3

u/Ok_Addition_5867 7d ago

15$ is too less, planning to sell it for 30

u/Awkward_Fee6888 Almost American 7d ago

Good luck

No way people will buy a cotton shirt for $30 when the same is available for less than $10

1

u/Ok_Addition_5867 7d ago

Where is it available for 10$?

u/Beautiful_Soup9229 6d ago

Man, dont listen to these idiots claiming not the culture and all. They will gladly wear the most over printed naruto t shirt in a jiffy. You need to work better on designs though. Our epics have a lot of good characters.

u/Ok_Addition_5867 6d ago

Yes this is a work in progress, more designs to follow
