Vintage T-shirt templates

Print from $23.50

The ‘70s aesthetic has been dominating the graphic design world, and why shouldn’t it? Bold, vibrant, and groovy, the era’s saturated colors and psychedelic patterns are perfect for brightening up simple everyday items such as a T-shirt.

If you want to get on the retro train while also experimenting with your own ideas for prints and patterns, be inspired by Canva’s vintage T-shirt design templates. Available in a variety of styles, themes, and colors, you’ll discover one that’s right up your alley and can be easily customized with our user-friendly tools.

After taking your pick from our collection of templates, transform it into a design of your own. If there’s a ‘70s term or a lyric from any of the decade’s hit songs that resonates with you, type it in the provided text box. Adjust the font size, type, and color according to your taste. Be reassured that Canva’s vintage T-shirt templates are not only free, but also crafted to have every element fit the overall design. That means the featured typography already corresponds to the layout and reflects the vintage aesthetic.

The same goes with the visuals. You can retain the vintage-inspired graphics of your chosen shirt design template. You can also replace or add to them after checking out the available images, vectors, icons, and illustrations in our extensive media library. Drag and drop your choices onto the layout, and switch their colors so they complement the design’s color palette.

Strive to maintain visual balance and proper proportion. Use Canva’s Mockups to see how your design looks on an actual tee. Once you’re happy with the results, finalize your vintage T-shirt template by saving and downloading it in JPG, PNG, or PDF format.
