Ask any six-year-old: their name in giant chrome letters beats every cartoon tee in the drawer. This custom kids shirt with name and photos is a personalized youth tee in 90s bootleg style, with the first name in big chrome across the top and your pictures of them underneath.
What’s in our samples
Five little guys doing little-guy things: blowing out birthday candles, flying around in a homemade cape, roaring with a toy dinosaur, riding a scooter and kicking a soccer ball. A glittery sparkle glow surrounds the photos.
The name is the only text, with no age number, so if the birthday matters, include a cake shot. Colorways pictured include orange fire, purple, green, red and teal, out of 15. Girls, boys, any kid works.
How to order a custom kids shirt with name and photos
- Pick the garment and size. Most kids take the heavyweight youth tee, XS through XL; preschoolers can go with the toddler hoodie.
- Pick colors: the shirt color and one of 15 design colorways.
- Upload 3 to 8 photos of your kid; they replace the sample boys.
- Type the first name exactly as it should print.
What makes a kid want to wear it twice?
- Kids’ name shirts are often plain block letters and nothing else
- Character tees from big stores all look the same at school
- Birthday party shirts get worn once and never again
Kids love being the star, and their own name in chrome says exactly that. The kid’s first name in big chrome tops a sparkle-framed collage of their own candle-blowing, scooter and dinosaur-roar photos on a heavyweight youth tee.
All together: Theo, red colorway 5, a candle-blowing photo in the middle with a scooter ride, a dinosaur roar and a soccer kick around it. Faces looking at the camera print best, and action shots fill the corners.
What kind of photos work for a kids photo shirt?
Use clear, well-lit pictures where the face isn’t cut off. Head-and-shoulders or waist-up shots in everyday clothes are ideal; please skip swim, bath and leotard photos. Phone pictures are fine.
Great for
Usually it’s a parent or grandparent shopping for a kid who thinks seeing their own name in giant shiny letters is the coolest thing ever. The kid has a phone’s worth of cape, dinosaur and scooter photos, and most character shirts are off the table.
When the kid helps pick the colorway and photos, they wear it to the party and keep asking for it all year.
A youth tee with the grandkid’s name and photos is easy to ship across the country, which beats guessing at toys.
If you’re the one they run to at every visit, a shirt with their name in chrome keeps that title safe.
Each boy gets his own name and his own photos, so nobody fights over whose shirt is whose.
Parents can order one for the first day back, since a shirt with their own face on it makes the morning easier.

FAQ
Can I use a superhero costume photo?
A plain homemade cape is fine. Licensed character costumes, logos and symbols can’t be printed.
Can you add a famous player or cartoon character next to my kid?
No. We don’t print celebrities, athletes, rappers or public figures, and we don’t print logos, brands, team marks or characters. Only family photos you took or may use, in everyday clothes, head-and-shoulders or waist-up. Those orders are canceled and refunded.
Do you have toddler or adult sizes for this design?
Yes. Little ones can wear it on the Rabbit Skins 3326 toddler hoodie, 2T to 5/6T. Parents and grandparents can order the adult tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie with the same name and photos.
