Is the T-Shirt industry over saturated? In a sense, yes. To various degrees and different stages it is over saturated and over crowded. The industry is effing brutal.
Does this T-Shirt industry over saturation mean that you should not enter the highly competitive tee market? No, not at all. The problems lie with the lack of originality and the powerhouses crushing startups...be it manufacturing, distribution, or even retail. They (the powerhouses) do it by blocking, or by taking other people's ideas.
From the designer's perspective, it also comes from everyone having similar ideas or people blatantly ripping off other people's concepts. The same thing can be said about T-shirt Blogging, everyone tries to do what everyone else is already doing. The key is to be different and if possible, protect that difference with everything that you have. But that is a daunting task if there ever was one, if not outright impossible to achieve.
T-shirts may not make you rich, but if you enjoy it by all means keep at it. If it brings some income fantastic. Just be original. If you aren't making any money and that is your primary goal then it is pointless to continue.
How To Compete In the Over Saturated T-Shirt Industry.
To compete and make it in the saturated T-shirt market, look at the trends. Look at them and ADAPT to them. Don't just do what everyone else is doing but produce a variation that goes off in its own tangent and niche market. Avoid the self promotion label/logo tee crap like Old Navy, Abercrombie and Fitch, and American Eagle do. In all honesty no one gives a damn about your name or start-up brand. Why the Hell should they pay to advertise you? Again, BE DIFFERENT. Give people what they want not want you want. You may like your drawing of Deadpool wearing a Superman cape, doesn't mean others will or will not. Go for what you know for sure that people will like enough to buy.
That is my opinion on how to handle the T-shirt Industry being over Saturated.

Trending Tee Design Themes 2016
So you are wanting to know what tee design themes are trending so you can profit off that data? To determine this we need to look at two important factors. What was popular at the end of 2015? As it is what will set the tone for 2016. And what is coming up in 2016? As that will be what people will be into and searching for.
What was popular that continues over onto 2016 are Political tees (2016 being an election year), science themes, Deadpool, One Punch Man, Rick and Morty and as always Space and Aquatic themes. Game of Thrones designs while a favorite of consumers will be on a decline due to DMCA take down notices. As are Star Wars and Star Trek related themes. But that doesn't stop the craving for Dragons in general.
What is coming up in 2016 will play a big role as to what designs will be demanded and supplied as well. The following movies will have heavy influence such as: Suicide Squad, Deadpool, Doctor Strange, Captain America, X-men (Apocalypse), Zoolander 2, TMNT, Ghostbusters and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children as they are the main pop culture picks that are highly anticipated. Independence Day 2 might also make its way over to indie based designs.
Also trending are designs that mash up different eras, genres or both. While mash ups are always popular with designers, not every mash up concept is a good one. Skulls and Zombies are always trending but the marketplace is flooded with them. Anything to do with aliens is also on the rise. The niche of Snarky and Sarcastic tees looks like it will be a favorite with the young adult crowd. Non pop culture tees are starting to make a comeback such as the artistic and abstract tees with no particular theme.Hopefully this gives you some idea of what the trending tee design themes will be this year.
