I have a lot of tshirts from companies I used to work for, but I don’t wear them anymore. I was going to give them away, but I’m worried random people wearing work uniforms might cause problems down the line. Some are construction companies, which I’m not too worried about, but the retail shirts are my concern. Is there a way to remove the text on them so they’re just regular solid colored shirts? I want to say the logos are screenprinted but I don’t think they were, and I can’t remember the name of any other printing processes that aren’t just stitching them in.

    Just bin em. Go into any charity shop and you’ll see that there’s no shortage of donated tees. The carbon footprint involves in removing the logos is more than it would save if someone were to wear them

      Or cut them up and use them as shop towels or whatever before you toss them. At least get a bit more out of them before they contribute to the landfill.

        Most of those shirts in my experience are some poly blend. If they’re 100% cotton, they’d be good towels though

      A lot of companies will actually have a policy about this, probably to return them
