USA, USA!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t feel like the Fourth of July (or summer) without some patriotic merch.<\/p>\n

Spreadshop<\/a><\/span> makes it easy for you to create your own original and festive styles.<\/p>\n

Pick products and colors – red, white, and blue – that speak to the holiday. Play around with iconic design elements like stars, stripes, and other Americana images.<\/p>\n

Take what\u2019s traditional and turn it into something that suits your style.<\/p>\n

Design merch that you\u2019ll want to wear to that family barbeque year after year. Merch that will make watching fireworks an even more memorable event.<\/p>\n

We hope our suggestions below provide some inspo for your 4th of July merch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Can\u2019t wait to see what you come up with!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Merch Options<\/h2>\n

Check out some of our recommended merch options for the Fourth of July and all your patriotic needs below.<\/p>\n

We have hundreds<\/span> of products<\/a> you can feature in your shop, but these are the essentials.<\/p>\n

T-Shirts<\/h3>\n

You can\u2019t go wrong with a classic tee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our t-shirts come in unisex, men\u2019s, and women\u2019s fits. Choose the style that works best for you.<\/p>\n

V-necks are a stylish departure from the traditional tee, or you can go for a relaxed fit.<\/p>\n

Different styles also use different fabrics that affect breathability.<\/p>\n

If you want to lean heavily into the 4th of July merch style, our unisex stars and stripes t-shirt <\/span><\/a>is an essential.<\/p>\n

Tanks<\/h3>\n

A summer staple.<\/p>\n

Your designs will\u00a0 <\/span>look oh-so summery on our men\u2019s and women\u2019s tanks.<\/p>\n

The royal blue of the women\u2019s premium tank <\/span><\/a>is stunning. It would pair well with a red\/white color scheme.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a looser fit, the women\u2019s flowy tank<\/span><\/a> by Bella is a top choice.<\/p>\n

It also looks perfectly patriotic in the royal blue, red, or white options.<\/p>\n

Better get one of each color just in case.<\/p>\n

Caps<\/h3>\n

Another summer go-to: the baseball cap.<\/p>\n

Our snapback baseball camp<\/span><\/a> is a customer favorite and is featured in many shops.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t come in white, but you\u2019ll forgive us after you see the red and navy options.<\/p>\n

Because they\u2019re adjustable, they look great on both men and women.<\/p>\n

If you want to be a little trendy with your headwear, may we suggest our bucket hat<\/span><\/a>?<\/p>\n

Patriotic images would stand out on the cream colored version.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a funkier style, but it\u2019ll add quirkiness to your wardrobe.<\/p>\n

Bandanas<\/h3>\n

I bet you have a supply of bandanas you\u2019ve collected over the years from events and stuff. But do you actually wear them?<\/p>\n

Design a bandana<\/span><\/a> you\u2019ll actually wear.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re a versatile accessory that can be worn around the neck, as a headband, or an accessory tied on bags.<\/p>\n

Bandanas are also a practical summer item, helping to keep the sun and sweat at bay.<\/p>\n

We even have them available for dogs<\/span><\/a>!<\/p>\n

Designs<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re not an artist, designing your own merch can feel pretty overwhelming.<\/p>\n

Use tools like Canva<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to help build clean-looking patriotic designs from images and graphics. And you can never go wrong with good old Photoshop.<\/p>\n

If you already have sketches or ideas you want to build on, use our Graphics Service<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our team of designers will help fine-tune and get your designs print-ready.<\/p>\n

Stars<\/h3>\n

My favorite patriotic-related design element.<\/p>\n

You can interpret the star shape however you want.<\/p>\n

Go for that hand-sketched feel<\/span><\/a> where it looks like it was taken straight off the page. This will bring a realness and whimsy to your merch.<\/p>\n

If you want to go big and bold, look no further than the glam icon himself: Elton John<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Make big stars in red, white, and blue colors. Or play around and put them in various sizes for a retro design.<\/p>\n

This kind of all over print would look particularly cool with our tanks or bandanas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Or do a cluster of stars on the front of a hat.<\/p>\n

Stripes<\/h3>\n

Another piece of the American flag you can use for design inspo.<\/p>\n

I like the idea of incorporating the stripes in unexpected ways.<\/p>\n

If you want a busier design, fill your star shapes with stripes. Or you can even tie it in with lettering<\/span><\/a>, if you have any.<\/p>\n

Write words like \u201cAmerica\u201d or \u201cFreedom\u201d and have the stripes of the flag go across the letters.<\/p>\n

You can make this design large or small to fit on t-shirts and other accessories accordingly.<\/p>\n

Fireworks<\/h3>\n

Incorporating firework imagery into your merch will give it a fun, explosive feel.<\/p>\n

Go for the look of classic fireworks<\/span><\/a>, or try something more abstract.<\/p>\n

You can have a central design element like lettering and add little bursts of fireworks around it. You\u2019ll be building a more cohesive design this way.<\/p>\n

You could even turn different shapes like the stars into fireworks.<\/p>\n

Think outside of the box. Use what you\u2019ve seen on 4th of July merch before as a jumping off point.<\/p>\n

You want your designs to feel original.<\/p>\n
