Problem Clothing vs Threadless, Redbubble, TeePublic, Spring and Spreadshirt

Problem Clothing · Oct 13, 2026 · 5 min read

You aren't shopping for "a graphic tee." You're shopping for the specific stupid thing you want on your chest.

That's a narrower search. Good.

Short answer: Start with the design and brand voice you want, then compare the exact product details, size chart and current policies. If you want Problem Clothing's awkward slogans and dirty double meanings, start here. If you're browsing Threadless, Redbubble, TeePublic, Spring or Spreadshirt, judge the actual listing rather than assuming every graphic tee is the same purchase.

Why choose Problem Clothing?

Because "I Love BDSM" turns out to mean Business Development, Sales & Marketing, and that's the level of respectability you're looking for.

Because Rock Hard Caulking has an explanation you can give with a straight face.

Because I'm Fully Bricked Up gives someone a reason to read twice instead of walking past another sunset mountain graphic.

That's our pitch: an actual joke, printed to order, for people who want the shirt to be part of the conversation. We aren't trying to supply every possible design for every possible mood.

Compare the shirt, not the search-result thumbnail

A design you love is the starting point. Now read the product listing.

Compare What to check Why it matters
The joke or artwork Actual design and print placement The thumbnail isn't the whole shirt
Fit Product-specific size chart Same size label doesn't prove same fit
Fabric The exact listing's material details "Graphic tee" isn't a fabric specification
Total Current checkout, including fees and shipping Comparing a headline price isn't enough
Delivery Current production and delivery information A gift needs to arrive, not just exist online
Returns Current policy for that order Don't assume a change of mind is covered

Use that checklist for us and for anything you're considering on Threadless, Redbubble, TeePublic, Spring or Spreadshirt. A brand name doesn't answer those questions for a particular order.

Don't let us sell you a shirt you don't want

If you're after delicate botanical art, our business acronym probably isn't the substitute.

If you want a shirt that makes your friend say "no fucking way," you're closer to the right department.

Choose by the actual design. Don't buy ours just because this is our blog, and don't buy somewhere else just because the search results gave you twelve pages to scroll through.

The one comparison that matters first

Would you wear it?

Not "would you laugh at the image." Not "would you send it to the group chat." Would you put it on, leave the house and own the joke?

If yes, compare the practical details. If no, keep looking. You don't need another shirt employed full-time as drawer lining.

FAQ

How is Problem Clothing different from the other names in this guide?

Our pitch is a specific voice: awkward slogans, innuendo and bad-decision humor. Compare individual products and current policies before deciding where to buy.

Which brand has the best funny t-shirts?

That depends on the joke you want and the shirt you would wear. Start with the design, then check fit, materials and current order terms.

Are graphic tees the same quality everywhere?

Don't assume that. Read the exact product's material, printing and sizing information rather than treating all graphic tees as interchangeable.

How should I compare costs?

Compare the current final checkout totals for the actual products and destinations. Don't rely on an old article's blanket price claim.

What should I check before buying a gift?

The recipient's humor, product-specific size chart, current delivery information and return policy. The funniest design still has to work as a gift.
