PANEL MAP · UPDATED OCTOBER 2, 2026
Roblox Shirt Template Parts Explained
A classic Roblox Shirt template maps the torso and both arms. The torso's middle strip reads R → FRONT → L → BACK; the right-arm strip reads L → B → R → F; the left-arm strip reads F → L → B → R. UP/DOWN cap the torso and U/D cap each arm. Put artwork on the intended face, then test every join on a Block Avatar in Studio.
The strip orders below were transcribed from Roblox's official Shirt PNG. They describe the flat file; the seam checklist is a proposed inspection method. We have not verified these joins on a rendered Studio rig in this run.
A simpler map of the official Shirt image
These compact strips are our own reading aid for the colored, labeled regions in Roblox's official template. The blocks show label order, not a replacement template to upload. Use the official PNG or the editor guide for actual placement and dimensions.
Torso side strip
UP sits above FRONT; DOWN sits below FRONT in the flat image.
Arm side strips
Right arm, as labeled by Roblox:
Left arm, as labeled by Roblox:
Each arm has U above and D below its F panel in the official flat image. F/B mean front/back; U/D mean upper/lower end.
Roblox specifies 128 × 128 pixels for the torso FRONT and BACK faces, 64 × 128 for torso sides and arm side faces, 128 × 64 for torso UP/DOWN, and 64 × 64 for arm U/D. Those are panel dimensions, not the size of the whole PNG. The official Shirt file measures 585 × 559 pixels.
Where to check joins
Read neighboring blocks as candidate joins in the unfolded strip. A mark touching one edge should continue at the next face when the texture wraps. The last and first blocks also close the strip, which is easy to overlook on a flat canvas.
| Area | Flat-strip joins to inspect | Easy-to-miss check |
|---|---|---|
| Torso | R–FRONT, FRONT–L, L–BACK | BACK–R closure |
| Right arm | L–B, B–R, R–F | F–L closure |
| Left arm | F–L, L–B, B–R | R–F closure |
| Top and bottom | Torso UP/DOWN; each arm U/D | Check all four edges of each cap in 3D |
Practical inference: if a horizontal sleeve stripe stops at a strip boundary, inspect the adjacent labeled face before moving the entire design. If it breaks only where the strip closes, compare the two outside edges. This is a diagnosis from the flat map, not a substitute for a Studio fit check.
A marked-stripe test before upload
- Start with a copy of your Shirt artwork. Keep the final design safe. Select Classic Shirt in the editor or open Roblox's official Shirt PNG in an image editor.
- Place a thin, high-contrast stripe across one strip boundary at a time. Begin with FRONT–L on the torso, then repeat across the other neighboring pairs in the table. Put small numerals on each side if you need to identify a face after wrapping.
- Inspect the closure separately. Make a second test mark at the outside edges of the torso strip and at the outside edges of each arm strip. A single face preview cannot show this join.
- Check caps with a different color. Mark UP/DOWN and both arms' U/D lightly so a rotated rig reveals whether a top or bottom patch appears where expected. Do not mistake a torso cap for a sleeve cap.
- Export and test on a Block Avatar. Roblox's guide says to insert a Shirt under the rig and set ShirtTemplate to the uploaded image. Rotate the rig around the torso, each sleeve, and the ends. Record which stripe is broken, then adjust only that pair in the flat file.
- Remove all test marks from the final artwork. Re-export the clean Shirt PNG and repeat the visual pass before Marketplace upload.
This is an original inspection plan derived from the official panel layout. It is especially useful for patterns that must continue around a sleeve or torso. A plain solid-color Shirt may not need every stripe, but its front/back and arm placement still deserve a Studio check.
Common placement mix-ups
| Symptom | First panel check |
|---|---|
| Chest art appears on the back | Confirm it is on torso FRONT, not BACK; those are separate 128 × 128 regions. |
| A sleeve pattern reverses or stops | Check the specific arm's F/B/L/R order. The two arm strips begin with different labels in the flat image. |
| A colored patch appears at an arm end | Review that arm's U or D square rather than shifting the side-face pattern. |
| You only need a chest logo | Use Classic T-Shirt instead; Roblox describes it as a square image on the front torso. See our size comparison. |
Sources and test scope
- Roblox Creator Hub: Classic clothing — official garment types, panel dimensions, and Block Avatar test sequence.
- Roblox Classic Clothing Templates ZIP — we inspected its Template-Shirts-R15.png and transcribed the three labeled strip orders above; the PNG measures 585 × 559.
- Avatar Shirt Maker editor — a browser canvas for positioning and exporting Shirt artwork.
The map and checklist identify what to inspect. They do not claim that this particular marked-stripe artwork was run through Roblox Studio, or that a flat image alone proves a seam will render correctly on every avatar body.
