But how do you design a custom tee with one colour that doesn&rsquo;t look too basic? We&rsquo;re gonna look at a few awesome one colour tees and highlight the lessons you can learn from them:<\/p><h2><strong>NO FUN &ndash; Use a Classic Style with One Colour T-Shirts<\/strong><\/h2><p>At <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/nofunpress.com\/collections\/softgoods\/products\/art-is-dumb-t-shirt\">NO FUN PRESS<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, they make one colour screen prints look great. Embracing the limitation of a single colour print means you&rsquo;ll make a simple and memorable design. Using a simple hand-drawn style, this custom t-shirt looks unique and is cheaper than an&nbsp;&uuml;ber&nbsp;colourful printed tee.<\/p><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-version=\"7\">\n<div style=\"padding: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 50.0% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BX0icLSFUYc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A post shared by No Fun Press &ndash; Official (@nofunpress)<\/a> on <time style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;\" datetime=\"2017-08-15T16:19:46+00:00\">Aug 15, 2017 at 9:19am PDT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote><p><script async=\"\" defer src=\"\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/p><h2><strong>SALTWATER COLLECTIVE &ndash; Embrace Simplicity in One Colour T-Shirts<\/strong><\/h2><p>Check out <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thesaltwatercollective.com\">Saltwater Collective<\/a><\/span><\/strong> if you wanna see a ton of stunning simple screen prints.
