    Mig is right about the big-brand industry standard approx ~300-400$ per tee. More for smaller/boutique labels.

    But doesn't mean you have to bust your ass for nothing. Give them a bulk price - maybe $2500 - for say 10-20 rough concepts, of which they can pick maybe 5 which you agree to finish for print. It can work as a win for everyone. Keep your concepts generic so they can be recycled.

    I observed a couple well-known apparel designers work it this way, and have done the same since.
