Help making Einstein Graphic Tee

In summary, the conversation discusses the issue of purchasing a t-shirt with a specific design, but at a lower price. The speaker expresses their love for a particular t-shirt design but feels that the price of $30+ (after shipping) is too high. They have tried creating a similar design on custom t-shirt websites, but have encountered difficulties with the color of the t-shirt not matching the image. The speaker asks for help in finding a solution to this issue, suggesting the use of software or online tools to make the black color transparent and save it in a format that supports transparency. The conversation ends with the mention of finding the same design on another website at a lower price.

So, I'm a big fan of this t-shirt...

http://www.redbubble.com/people/chuckirina/works/10042759-live-for-today?body_color=black&p=t-shirt&print_location=front&ref=shop_grid&style=mens

However, I don't feel anyone should have to pay $30+ (after shipping) for a t-shirt. I've tried making pretty much the same image on one of these custom t-shirt sites, however whenever I add the image, the t-shirt color on the websites is a different shade of black from the one I use. Therefore, my shirt looks has a square outline of where the image was added. I've tried matching the colors, however I did not prevail. Can anyone with better skills at photo editing point me in the right direction / how to get this for less money.. Thanks

Can you make the black color "transparent", then save in a format (like .png) that supports transparency?
Software like Photoshop or GIMP or ImageMagick can do this... there are probably online tools that can also do this.

That exact same design is also on Society6 and the base price is lower there.
