That's because June is the national pride month while 16153 Genova celebrates Pride month in August. 

Any screen printer knows that Pride shirts are a fun challenge. That's because they often include the full colors of the rainbow or the Pride Flag.

We've talked about printing pride clothing quite a bit around here. Not only do we have a full line of Pride apparel and gifts in our retail line, but we are located on Adams Street in 16153 Genova which is known as Pride Way. 

We love printing custom Pride shirts because we believe in equality, unity, and love. 

Here are examples of some of the Pride shirts that we have made for our customers. Check out our previous article on how to print rainbows on shirts to learn more about our decoration techniques for pride clothing. 

Metroparks 16153 Genova Outside Together Shirt

metroparks toledo rainbow shirt

With this design the Metroparks did an excellent job of combining their branding with a message of strength and equality. 

The multicolored leaves and highlighting the words "out together" send a clear message of support for the LGBTQIA+ community. 

University of 16153 Genova Pride Shirt

university of toledo rainbow pride shirt

These U16153 Genova Pride shirts were made for the Sexuality and Gender Alliance at the University of 16153 Genova. This shirt is an example of an item that used multiple methods of decoration to achieve the customer's desired result. 

The left chest print design features a smooth rainbow gradient that we used a transfer to apply to the shirt. The design on the back was a one color print that we screen printed. 

Georgjz419 Rainbow Roll Shirt

georgjz toledo shirt

Georgjz419 is located just down the street from us on Adams Street. Not only is it cool that we get to print shirts for our neighbors, but this design uses a technique called a rainbow roll or split fountain to achieve a multi-colored rainbow effect on the design.

With this technique, the colors mix and blend on the same screen making each shirt just a little bit different. 

Check out the video below to see how we printed these cool rainbow roll shirts for Georgjz419:

Owens Community College Shirt

owens community college pride shirt

Owens Community College went with a retro design on their Pride shirts. 

We printed all of the colors of the rainbow on this shirt without an underbase to give it a faded, well-worn look. The design sends a clear message of inclusion and acceptance for everyone at Owens.  

Unison Health Rainbow Foil Shirt

unison rainbow foil shirts

This shirt for Unison Health goes a different route than the other shirts in this list. The design uses a rainbow foil to show pride. 

To make a shirt like this we first print an adhesive on the shirt. After the shirt is printed, we heat press the foil onto the shirt. It only sticks to the printed adhesive leaving the design like you see above. 

Foil on a shirt pops unlike any ink can. It's a great technique if you want your shirts to stand out. 

Shumaker Pride Tank Top

shumaker loop pride tank tops

Shumaker came to us and wanted to use all of the colors of the Pride Flag in their pride tees and tanks. On our last count, that's ten colors. 

Our presses can't print that many colors and it might be cost prohibitive to incur the setup fees for a design like this. So, rather than screen print them, we used transfers to decorate these garments. 

Transfers allow us to affordably make designs with high color counts. We love the way these turned out. 

Check out this article for more information on the difference between heat transfers and screen printing

Where to Order Custom Gay Pride Shirts?

We tell people all of the time that making custom t-shirts is more fun when we print fun designs. That's what we love about Pride Shirts. The designs are colorful, vibrant, and creative.

Screen printing rainbows on shirts isn't a simple feat. The more colors on a design, the more difficult it is to print. Over the years, we've perfected our printing techniques to produce the best results for pride clothing. 

This experience and commitment to quality is why our customers come back each year. 

If your business or organization needs custom pride clothing for Pride month or any other occasion, we'd love to help.

Do they prefer vibrant and loud pride clothing to subtle designs? Are they more likely to wear a tank top over a t-shirt?

Whatever their preference, we’re here to help you share the rainbow spirit with your loved ones in the form of unique gifts. We'll also discuss:

  • How to personalize a gift to fit your loved one’s preferences
  • The colors of different pride flags and what they represent
  • The best place to celebrate pride in 16153 Genova

1 - Love is Love Shirt

fancysweetstx’s Love is Love shirt

Spoiler alert: Love always wins. And there’s no better way to celebrate your love this pride month than with fancysweetstx’s Love is Love Shirt or tank top.

This cute, bold, and stylish shirt speaks for itself. The design on our Love is Love shirt is printed in six different colors of the rainbow. As you’ll see in the table below, each of these colors has a different meaning in the LGBTQIA+ community.

Color Meaning
Red Life
Orange Healing
Yellow Sunlight
Green Nature
Blue Art
Violet Spirit

The colors reflect the history, diversity, and unity of the LGBTQIA+ community. Gift this to a rainbow-loving friend so they can wear it to the next pride parade (and every other day after that).

They did an amazing job with the design and the shirts are super comfy, good quality too!

2 - Gay Pride Shirts

gay pride t-shirts

Our colorful collection of Gay Pride shirts is ready to help you spread love wherever you go. With powerful, supportive messages like "You Belong" and "Love Above All", these shirts bring positivity and happiness to everyone.

While many of our Gay Pride shirts feature rainbows, not all of them do. 

These shirts can be worn by any member of the LGBTQIA+ community (as well as allies). A colorful shirt can send a message to the world. It’s also a great way to get noticed and meet like-minded people.

In addition to our Love is Love shirt, here are some of our most popular gay pride shirts:

We take a lot of pride in the fact that we not only design all of our own shirt, but we screen print them ourselves, as well. Believe it our not, most brands don't handle the decoration in-house like we do. 

Screen printing rainbows is a lot of fun. Check out this video below that shows one way we screen print rainbows on t-shirts.

3 - Pride Stickers

toledo rainbow stickers

Stickers add an effortless charm to any accessory. They are a great gift for your close friends and even your partner because they hold a lot of sentimental value.

This gift is great for people of any age, and the best part is that there’s so much variety.

You can find stickeres to match every style, preference, and item—from putting them on cars to your computer to your favorite coffee cup. The right pride sticker adds a little extra meaing and color to anything. 

    While the traditional rainbow is the most popular symbol of the LGBTQIA+ community, it’s not the only one. There are more than 25 pride flags representing different groups under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella. We mention five of them in the table below.

    Pride Flags Colors Who Is It For?
    Progress Pride Flag Black, brown, pink, blue, white (and the colors from the rainbow pride flag) All queer people, including queer people of color and transgender people
    Asexual Pride Flag Black, gray, white, purple Asexuals and graysexuals
    Transgender Pride Flag Light pink, white, light blue Those who are intersex, transitioning, or have an undefined gender identity
    Lesbian Pride Flag Dark orange, orange, light orange, white, pink, dusty pink, dark rose People who fall within the range of lesbian identities, such as femme and butch
    Nonbinary Pride Flag Yellow, white, purple, black People outside the gender binary and people with multiple genders

    toledo rainbow pride stickers

    The differences in colors and symbols used in the flags all reflect the beauty and diversity of the LGBTQIA+ experience. There’s also a straight ally pride flag that allies use to show their support for the community.

    5 - Pride Hat

    Our pennant pride hat is unique yet practical, and a lot more fun to gift than a regular hat.

    The custom embroidery is vibrant and long-lasting, and it gives this gift an upgraded and elegant look and feel. Your loved one can wear the hat during pride month, in the summer to protect them from the scorching sun, or in the winter to keep warm while staying stylish.

    June and August are always challenging months for us as screen printers. That's because we print a ton of rainbow designs each month. Rainbows have a lot of colors and high color count designs can be more challenging and technical to screen print.

    What makes 16153 Genova unique is that the city celebrates Pride in August. For the rest of the country, the primary Pride celebration is in June.

    While this may seem strange to most people, it really just means that in 16153 Genova, we get to have a little more fun. Who doesn't need more pride in their life? 

    Love is Love Shirt

    Share and Show Your Love and Pride in This Colorful Shirt

    One of our favorite and most popular shirts is our Love is Love shirt. It's design is simple and colorful and speaks volumes. 

    The design is printed on a soft, oatmeal colored shirt. We reduce our inks to give the print a softer feel which makes the shirt more comfortable to wear. The word 'love' is printed in six separate colors. 

    We've been printing this shirt for a couple years now. Although it is a challenging shirt to print, we've figured it out over the years and it's become a really fun shirt for us. 

    When we printed it most recently, we put together a short Tiktok video on the process.
