What a year! Between the waves, we managed to surf our way through Star Classes, new features and products together. Let’s have a look back at 2021’s Spreadshirt highlights…
First things first: thank you!
You proved it to us again this year: Without you and your ideas, illustrations and designs, the marketplace would be grey and gloomy. That’s why we would like to thank every single creative mind in our community. And because so much happened in 2021, we’ve put together the highlights and most important developments of the year for you here.
Big love for our Designers of the Month

Modartis… and for our fabulous forum users
Our forum lives and breathes only thanks to the contributions and the dedicated moderation of the designers. Especially in these unusual times, having a place to exchange ideas is valuable and important. In 2021, the questions, suggestions and criticisms of the community have once again been instrumental in helping us to make Spreadshirt better, bit by bit. Special thanks go out to the designer Simsalampimp, who has been actively supporting us for a long time.
