T-shirts descended on the national scene in the beginning of the 20th Century, but we can trace back it's history to ancient times. Over the span of a century, the T-shirt went through several evolutionary stages before attaining it's present avatar. T-shirts became a national rage in the early 1950’s and since then it has only scaled the popularity charts as the most inexpensive, user friendly, yet stylish form of garment.

According to most of the research studies, this unisexual garment is believed to have made its foray into American culture through the Europeans. Seeing the European soldiers sport this comfortable undershirt during the First World War, the American troops were inspired into switching over to T-shirts from the heavy woolen uniform. By 1920 the word 'T-shirt' was inducted into the Merriam-Webster dictionary and by 1942 the issue of Life magazine featured a picture of a soldier wearing a T-shirt with the text "Air Corps Gunnery School". Slowly T-shirts came out of the closet with the help of Hollywood stalwarts like John Wayne, Marlon Brando and James Dean who wore them on national television and created a hullabaloo. Soon, T-shirts graduated into an epitome of the contemporary 'rebellious youth'.

However, the trend of printing logos on T-shirts as a form of advertisement or merely as a reflection of one's own personality caught up since 1960's. Right from popular rock bands to renowned consumer products like Mickey Mouse and Coca Cola, all tried to cash on the T-shirt's raging popularity. By early 80's, T-shirts catapulted into a hot favorite of the frenzied sports fans. They began to flaunt T-shirts with the logos of their favorite teams or stars imprinted on them. Following closely on the heels of the sports enthusiasts, were the politically inclined group of people. Thus, over the years, T-shirts have emerged into a valuable piece of merchandise.
