Roblox is an online gaming platform where all the games and content are made by the players. Players in the game are represented by customizable characters called Avatars. Players can customize their avatars with clothing and accessories purchased from the Avatar Shop, or they can make their own. In Roblox, you can design a T-shirt or a shirt. A T-shirt is nothing more than an image decal that is applied to the front of an avatar's torso. A shirt is more complex and consists of a design for the front, back, sides, top and bottom of the torso. Shirts are designed using a template and require a Roblox subscription to upload. This wikiHow teaches you how to create a T-shirt decal and a shirt.

The backs are color-coded in blue. The rights are color-coded in green, and the lefts are color-coded in yellow. The tops are color-coded in light blue, and the bottoms are color-coded in orange. In both Photoshop and GIMP, you can use the rectangle marquee tool to select the area you want to color, and then use the Paintbucket tool to fill the area with a color of your choice.

   • Make sure you have the top layer selected when you color your shirt. Do not select the layer with the template. Click the top layer to select it.
   • If you want the shirt to have short sleeves, do not color passed the top dotted line on the template for the right and left arms.
   • Do not color passed the bottom dotted line on the template for the left and right arms. This leaves some space blank for the hands.

  It says (item not for sale), how do we make it for sale?

  If you've just uploaded it, Roblox is just checking the design to make sure it's appropriate. It could also have been a limited time item.

• Question

  Why can't I see my shirt when I put it on?

  If you have just uploaded a shirt, you'll have to wait for Roblox to approve it before you can see the design. The approval process can take anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of days. If you've had it for a while and suddenly the design can't be seen, it's possible the shirt was removed. You may have violated the guidelines. If you're certain you didn't, then contact Roblox.
