Wiktionary says that the "T" in "T-shirt" should be capitalized, with "t-shirt" an alternative spelling. Why is an upper case "T" preferred?
Answer
It is a T-shirt because its shape reminds of a capital letter T, in the same way an A-frame's shape reminds of a capital letter A.
While it is more correct to say the shape reminds of a capital letter T, than a lowercase t, t-shirt would be equally understood.
