Choosing a great college T-shirt isn’t just about the logo—it’s about softness that you’ll want to live in and construction that survives semesters of wear. We focused on ringspun cotton, tri-blends, and well-built cotton/poly mixes known for a smooth hand, shape retention, and dependable printability.
