Content Standards

RushOrderTees supports bringing groups and communities together using custom apparel. We appreciate the impact a unifying focal point can have on building relationships among people.

We understand that people have diverse perspectives as communicated through the custom designs they create. However, we must balance our customers' goals and freedom of expression with the potential negative impact on others and the general public.

We use the following standards to clearly communicate what RushOrderTees will, may, or will not print when creating custom products.

Stoplight Content Standards

RushOrderTees uses a set of content standards to set clear expectations about what will be printed. We use a color-coded, stoplight system to identify the types of content that meet our standards:

If a design is found to be questionable, we’ll help you to create an alternative that meets these standards.

RushOrderTees content categories are listed below. These descriptions provide general guidance and are not intended to be exhaustive. The ultimate decision on design approval rests with our content standards team.
