How can you create a custom black hoodie?

Your designs might look different on black, so keep these tips in mind.

Choose art that stands out on bright colors as well as black hoodies. Anything metallic or neon works well.
Simplify designs by using bold lines and shapes, or add light or dark outlines to increase contrast.
Upload high-resolution art with crisp edges. Vector graphics usually look sharpest when printed on fabric.
