Your challenge
Design a t-shirt for a band that doesn’t exist yet.
Not a single note has been played, a lyric written, or a green M&M separated. But you can just feel that special band is ready to form and is waiting to play a set just for you.
Your challenge is to bring that band to life by designing their band t-shirt.
This super group you create can be folksy, indie, pop-y, old-school, new-school, or somewhere in between. Just make it the kind of band tee you would wear even if you weren’t really sure what kind of music they play.
All the designs chosen from this challenge will become part of our music tee collection!
Time to rock it out.
