Create vintage outdoor T-Shirt designs

Do you sometimes dream about wild rivers, high mountains, or a cozy campfire? We love to be out in nature as well, and especially that feeling of being free like a bird! Unfortunately, adventure trips are not part of daily life, but you can easily preserve the outdoors and wear them close to your heart: just put on your custom outdoor T-shirt.

Thanks to endless print and design possibilities, the T-shirt – originally designed as an undergarment and never meant to be seen by others – has become a form of personal expression. Whether you like road trips, go fishing on weekends, or hiking through the forest, you can show your favorite things to do and places by making outdoor adventure design T-shirts.

Besides hand-drawn motifs like iconic landscapes, wild animals, or outdoor supplies, you can add more nature elements like a sunburst to your custom design. For your color choice, it is always a good idea to go for earthy shades and green hues. Have you tried our color palettes yet? “Deep Wood”, “Earth Brown” or “Natural Organic” are perfect for your project. Does your design feature a lake or the sea? Go for “Ocean Sun” then.

More design examples

Got caught by digital wanderlust and want to start designing your landscape T-shirt? Well, in case you need even more inspiration, let’s take a look at some very nice outdoor logo projects:

Design by Jose Manzo

This design was made for an outdoor lifestyle brand and ended up on a – surprise, surprise – T-shirt. The text was built around the illustration of enormous cacti which give you a hint about what is so special about Saguaro National Park. You’ll find important information in this design: the year the park was established, and where it is located. A great idea is to place the coordinates and the outline of the area below, very outdoorish.

The composition of this vintage T-shirt design is very popular as you can see by looking at more examples:

Inspiration from the guardians of nature

Another popular outdoor T-shirt design is inspired by the uniform of park rangers and scouts: the badge! Badge shapes — which can be oval or just round as well — instantly give you a feeling of wilderness and freedom. Always working!
