School Spirit Wear & Team Merch Ideas: The Complete Guide for Schools and Boosters

What to order for spirit week, homecoming, and booster fundraisers — plus sizing, approvals, and the math that decides whether a merch sale nets money.
Every school has one. The person who ends up in charge of the shirts.
Sometimes it's the athletic director. Sometimes it's the booster club treasurer, the PTO volunteer who has been doing it for six years, the band parent, the club sponsor who teaches five sections of biology and also somehow handles the spirit wear. Whoever it is, the year runs on the same loop: fall sports needs fan gear, homecoming needs shirts, the band needs travel hoodies, the pink-out game is in three weeks, and the spring fundraiser has to actually clear enough money to pay for something.
Then the orders come in on a paper form in a manila envelope. Half the sizes are guesses. Somebody paid in cash and nobody wrote it down. The shirts arrive the morning of the game instead of the week before, and the ones left over are all adult small.
None of that is a merch problem. It's a planning problem, and it's fixable. Schools and boosters that do this well aren't spending more than everyone else — they've just decided what to order for which moment, sorted out the ordering and money side once, and started early enough that the shirts show up before the event rather than during it.
This is the complete guide to school spirit wear and team merch: what to order, who it's for, when to order it, how to collect sizes and money without a shoebox, and how to run merch as a fundraiser that genuinely nets something. It's written for athletic directors, booster club officers, PTO and PTA volunteers, club and band sponsors, and school administrators. Where a topic deserves a deeper dive, we'll point you to it. Treat this as home base.

One thing to say up front, so nobody wastes a phone call: we make spirit wear and fan gear — tees, hoodies, hats, drinkware, bottles, bags, and staff apparel. We don't make on-field athletic uniforms or numbered team jerseys. Everything below is the fan-and-supporter side of school merch, which is also, conveniently, the side that actually raises money.
Why school merch is worth doing well
A spirit shirt looks like a small thing. It isn't. Good school merch does four real jobs, and they're worth naming so you can defend the budget line when someone asks.
It builds belonging, especially for the kids on the edges. A student who owns the shirt is a student who has decided they're part of this. That matters most for the freshman who hasn't found their group yet, the new family that transferred in October, the kid in the club nobody talks about at assemblies. A shirt is a cheap, concrete way to say you're one of us. Ask any teacher which students wear their spirit wear the most, and it's usually not the ones who already feel included.
It packs the stands. A student section in matching shirts is louder, looks better in every photo, and turns a Friday night into an event. Fan gear is the difference between a crowd and a crowd that's with you. This isn't sentiment — it's the reason schools have done it for a hundred years.
It runs your events. At any school event bigger than a classroom, merch is a logistics tool. Volunteer shirts in one color mean a parent can find help fast. Staff polos mean a visitor knows who to ask. Color-coded field-day shirts mean a teacher can count her group across a field in three seconds. Chaperone shirts on a trip mean a lost seventh grader can find an adult who belongs to them.
It funds things. This is the part that separates school merch from every other audience. For a booster club or PTO, merch isn't a cost center — it's a revenue line. Done right, a hoodie sale pays for the equipment, the trip, the banquet, the new uniforms the district wouldn't cover. Done wrong, it's four boxes of shirts in a closet and a treasurer who's out three hundred dollars.
The schools that get this right have usually just made three decisions: a few good items instead of many mediocre ones, an ordering process that isn't a paper form, and a calendar that starts before the panic does.
The spirit wear and team merch that actually earns its cost
Not all merch is equal. The stuff that works shares three traits: students and parents actually want it, the decoration survives the wash, and the design is something a person would wear even if the school's name weren't on it. Here are the categories that consistently deliver.
Spirit wear t-shirts
The workhorse, and usually 60% of a school's merch spend. Homecoming, spirit week, field day, class trips, clubs, camps, fundraisers, giveaway shirts for a big game — the tee scales to any group size and is the most affordable per person.
Two things separate a shirt that lives in the rotation from one that becomes a rag. The first is the blank. A stiff, boxy, scratchy tee gets worn once out of obligation. A soft, well-cut shirt gets worn all season and shows up in the yearbook. The second is the design. Resist the urge to cram the school name, the mascot, the year, the theme, the schedule, and four sponsor logos onto the front in three different fonts. The shirts students wear on a Saturday are the ones that look like something they'd have bought. Put one strong idea on the front and move the details — schedule, sponsors, roster — to the back.
Browse custom t-shirts or the tees collection — there's everything from budget-friendly blanks for a 400-shirt spirit week order to premium heavyweight and garment-dyed tees for the pieces you want people to keep.
Hoodies and crewnecks
The highest-loyalty item a school can sell, and the single best fundraiser product in this whole list. Students live in hoodies from October through March. Parents buy them without complaining. Alumni buy them at homecoming. They cost more per unit than tees, which is exactly the point — a higher price supports a real margin, and nobody has ever thrown away a hoodie they liked.
They're also the honest answer for cold-weather events. A t-shirt at a 7 p.m. November football game is a shirt under a coat, and your design is invisible. Crewnecks deserve a mention of their own here: they've been the preferred cut for students for several years running, they're often a little cheaper than a full hoodie, and they photograph well. Order both and let people choose. See hoodies and sweatshirts.
Custom drinkware
The most underrated category in school merch, and the one boosters overlook most often. A laser-engraved tumbler is the item coaches, staff, and parents use every single day for years — which makes it the strongest appreciation gift on this list and a genuinely good fundraiser item at a price point that supports real margin.
Engraving is the reason. A printed logo on a tumbler starts cracking and peeling after a few dozen dishwasher runs, which is not a great look for something you sold as a supporter item. Laser engraving cuts into the metal itself, so it looks the same in five years as it did on day one. If you want the full breakdown, laser engraved vs. printed logos: which lasts longer is our most-read article and explains exactly why it matters for anything you intend to last.
Practical uses: engraved tumblers for coaching staff and long-serving teachers, travel mugs for bus drivers and early-morning staff, tumblers as a booster fundraiser item at football and basketball games, and engraved drinkware as senior-night or banquet gifts. Browse custom drinkware, and if you want to see the engraving quality before committing to a batch of two hundred, order an engraved sample tumbler with your own logo for $15 — we credit the full $15 back on your first order of 12 or more.
Water bottles
Their own category because they solve a problem shirts can't. Sports camps, summer conditioning, band camp, field trips, field day, and every outdoor practice in August live and die by hydration. An insulated bottle with the school's mark on it is more useful than a shirt on a 95-degree Thursday, and giving every athlete the same one solves the "whose is this" problem that fills a lost-and-found bin every fall.
They're also a smart giveaway for incoming freshmen or new-student orientation — useful from the first day, and it carries the school's name for years. See water bottles. If you're outfitting a summer program, our guides to summer camp water bottle ideas and back-to-school custom water bottles go deeper on sizing and lids.
Custom hats
A hat is worn entirely by choice, which makes it pure upside — nobody wears a hat out of obligation. Two routes worth knowing:
- Leather patch hats — a laser-engraved leather patch on a quality cap reads like something from a good shop, not a school giveaway. These are the hats dads wear to work and alumni wear at homecoming, and they're a strong fundraiser item because people pay real money for a hat they like. A school mascot or a simple wordmark on a patch looks especially good. See the leather patch hat collection.
- Embroidered hats — classic and durable, in a wide range of styles. Good for coaches, groundskeepers, parking and gate crews, and anyone who needs shade and identification at the same time. Explore custom hats or the embroidered hats collection.
Embroidered polos for staff and coaches
When you want your people to look like staff rather than spectators, an embroidered polo does it. Front office and administration, coaching staff on the sideline, athletic trainers, facilities and maintenance crews, bus drivers, and preschool or daycare staff all benefit from something a step above a t-shirt. Embroidery reads as more finished than a print and holds up wash after wash after wash — which matters for something worn twice a week for three years. See embroidered polo shirts.
Jackets, fleece, and outerwear
Worth its own line because of who buys it. Coaching staff, the band and drumline in November, the grounds crew, and — importantly — parents. Embroidered fleece and soft-shell jackets are the top of the price ladder for a booster club sale and often the thing a grandparent buys when they want to support the program and won't wear a hoodie. See jackets and outerwear.
Bags and totes
The most-used piece of merch there is, and the most-overlooked in schools. A branded tote carries library books on Tuesday, groceries on Thursday, and a beach towel in July. Totes work as teacher welcome-back gifts, new-family welcome bags, conference and open-house giveaways, and volunteer thank-yous. Drawstring bags are the standard for field day, camps, and athletic giveaways. See bags and totes.
Engraved gifts and keepsakes
When you want to mark something properly — a retiring teacher after twenty-eight years, a coach's final season, a senior-night gift, a volunteer of the year — an engraved keepsake lands very differently than a gift card and a handshake. Engraved journals and notebooks are the natural pick for teachers and administrators and get used constantly. Engraved cutting and serving boards work well for a retirement or a booster president stepping down. This is your move when the relationship is worth marking.
What we don't make
Worth being direct, because it saves everyone a call: we don't do numbered on-field athletic uniforms or team jerseys. Game kit is a different supply chain with different sizing, numbering, and league rules, and we'd rather tell you that now than three weeks before the season. What we do is everything around it — the fan gear, the spirit wear, the staff apparel, the fundraiser merch, and the gifts. That's the side of school merch that fills the stands and funds the program.
School merch by moment
The most useful way to plan merch isn't by product — it's by the moment on the school calendar it belongs to. Here's how the year usually breaks down.
Back-to-school and fall kickoff
The first real merch moment of the year, and the highest-leverage one for belonging. New students arrive, clubs relaunch, and everybody's rhythms reset. A spirit shirt handed out in the first two weeks does more for a freshman than the same shirt sold in March. This is also when the booster club's biggest sale of the year should open, because parents are already spending on school stuff and haven't hit their October fatigue yet.
Plan this one in June. Seriously. The single most common school merch mistake is starting the back-to-school order in August, when everyone else is starting theirs too.
Fall sports and the student section
Football, volleyball, cross country, and marching band all start at once. Fan gear, student-section shirts, coaching staff polos, and parent hoodies all come from the same window. If you're doing a "white out" or "black out" theme game, order those shirts as their own run — theme-game shirts sell to people who already own a school shirt, which is the whole point.
Homecoming and spirit week
The single biggest sales week of the fall for most schools. Class shirts, spirit week themes, alumni gear, and the homecoming design itself. Alumni are a genuinely underused market here — people who graduated eight years ago will buy a good hoodie at homecoming and never buy anything else all year. Give them something worth buying.
Band, choir, theatre, and academic clubs
Everything that isn't athletics, and the group that most often gets left out of the merch conversation. Marching band travels and needs warm layers. Choir and theatre want cast and crew shirts that become keepsakes. Robotics, debate, FFA, National Honor Society, and academic teams all want gear and rarely have anyone helping them get it. These are small orders, which is exactly why no-or-low minimums matter — a run of eighteen drumline hoodies should be a real order, not a problem.
Awareness and cause games
Pink-out games in October, and the equivalent for other causes throughout the year. Done well, a cause shirt turns a crowd into an obvious statement and gives students something concrete to do about something that feels out of their hands. It's also usually the highest-selling single shirt design of the season, because people buy it for the cause even if they'd skip a regular spirit shirt. Our guide to breast cancer awareness merch ideas covers how schools, churches, and businesses approach October, and most of it applies to any awareness moment.
Teacher and staff appreciation
Teacher Appreciation Week in early May is the anchor, but back-to-school welcome gifts and end-of-semester thank-yous matter just as much. This is PTO territory and it's usually the PTO's most appreciated spend of the year. A branded tote with a good tumbler inside beats a gift card in a card, because the tumbler is on the desk in February.
One honest note: quality matters more here than anywhere else on this list. A cheap gift given as thanks can land worse than no gift at all. Buy fewer, better items for the staff rather than a token for everyone.
Winter sports and cold weather
Basketball, wrestling, and swim run through the coldest months, which means outerwear, crewnecks, hoodies, beanies, and hot-drink tumblers. This is also the natural second selling window for boosters — a mid-winter restock sale catches everyone who didn't buy in August and everyone who got a shirt and now wants the hoodie.
Fundraisers and spring campaigns
Merch is a legitimate way to fund a trip, a program, or equipment. See the fundraiser section below — there's a right way and a wrong way, and the difference is measured in boxes-in-a-closet. Our fundraiser merch ideas guide, top fundraiser gift ideas for schools, and best custom drinkware for fundraisers go deep on which items actually move.
Field day, end of year, and graduation
Field day means color-coded shirts and drawstring bags. End of year means senior gifts, class shirts, and awards-night keepsakes. Graduation means the last chance to put something in a senior's hands that they'll still own in ten years — an engraved tumbler or a good hoodie with the graduation year does that better than anything with a tassel on it.
Summer camps and conditioning
Sports camps, band camp, cheer camp, and academic summer programs all need shirts and, more importantly, bottles. Camp merch is also a marketing tool for the program: a middle schooler wearing a high school camp shirt all summer is free recruiting for the fall.
Community events and festivals
Fall carnivals, spring flings, trunk-or-treats, and school-hosted community nights. Volunteer identification is the priority — a bright, distinct volunteer shirt is the cheapest safety upgrade you can buy at a crowded event with a lot of kids. Our fall festival merch planning guide covers the whole thing including the ordering timeline.
Before you order: who approves it, and whose logo is it?
This section exists because it's the thing that stops orders dead two days before a deadline, and almost nobody talks about it.
Know who actually has to say yes. School merch usually has more approvers than people expect: an athletic director for anything sports-related, a principal or activities director for school-wide items, a district communications or branding office for anything using the official logo, and a booster or PTO board for anything being sold. Find out who signs off before you design anything. The most expensive delay in school merch isn't production — it's a finished design sitting in someone's inbox for two weeks.
Check whether your mascot or logo has rules. Many districts have a brand standards document specifying approved colors, logo versions, and what can't be modified. Some have an official athletic mark that's different from the district mark. Ask for the file rather than pulling the logo off the website — a low-resolution image scraped from a webpage is the number one reason a design proof looks fuzzy.
Be careful with borrowed marks. A lot of schools have a mascot or logo that closely resembles a college or professional team's. That's common and usually longstanding, but it can create problems for anything you're selling rather than giving away, and some vendors won't produce it. If your mark is in that category, the safe route is a design based on your school's own name, letters, and colors rather than the borrowed artwork. If you're unsure, ask your district office — they'll know the history.
Sort out the money question before the design question. Who's collecting? Where does the money live — an activity account, a booster bank account, an online store? Is this a fundraiser or a break-even service to families? Are you charging sales tax? A booster treasurer will have opinions, and it's much easier to hear them before you've promised students a price.
Get artwork approved in one pass. Decide who has final say, get that person to look at the proof, and approve it once. Design-by-committee across six people and three group texts is how a four-week timeline becomes a rush order.
Booster club fundraiser math (or: how not to end up with boxes)
Merch can genuinely fund a program. It can also lose money in a way that's embarrassing to explain at the next board meeting. The difference is almost always the ordering model, not the product.
Pre-order first, produce second. Take orders and payment up front, then order exactly what sold plus a small buffer. Your risk drops to nearly nothing and you know your margin before anything is made. Run a two-week ordering window with a firm close date, announce the close date twice, and then actually close it. It's less exciting than having a table full of merch on day one, but it's the version that nets money instead of inventory.
The exception: a small stock order for game-day sales, where you're selling at the gate from a table. That's legitimate — just keep it small, keep it to your proven sellers, and price it knowing some will sit.
Do the actual math before you set a price. Here's the arithmetic that decides whether this is worth doing:
(Your price − your cost per item) × units you'll realistically sell = what this raises.
Run it honestly. If a shirt nets four dollars and you'll sell eighty, that's $320 for six weeks of work — which is fine for a club and nowhere near enough for a program. If a hoodie nets fourteen and you'll sell a hundred and twenty, that's $1,680, and now you're funding something. The margin per item matters more than the number of items, which is why hoodies, engraved drinkware, and leather patch hats outperform tees as fundraisers even though tees sell more units.
Price for the mission, not for retail comparison. Parents buying a hoodie to support the band know part of what they're paying is a donation, and they're fine with it. You do not have to beat a big-box price. What you have to do is make the item good enough that the price feels fair.
Pick items people would buy anyway. The best fundraiser merch is stuff someone genuinely wants: a good hoodie, an engraved tumbler, a leather patch hat, a quality crewneck. Nobody buys a scratchy tee out of school loyalty twice.
Bulk pricing works in your favor here. Bulk pricing is available on larger orders — tell us your quantity in your quote request and we'll send tiered pricing. Because your pre-order window tells you your real number before you order, you can quote at that quantity and know your margin precisely instead of guessing.
Set a floor, not just a goal. Decide the minimum number of orders that makes the run worth placing, and tell people that's the threshold. It gives the sale urgency, and it gives you a clean way to cancel without anyone being upset.
Collecting sizes and money across a whole school
The logistics of a 40-person team order and a 600-student school order are completely different problems, and using the small-order process for the big one is where things fall apart.
Stop using paper. A form in a manila envelope loses responses, loses money, and produces a size list nobody can read. A simple online form with a hard cutoff gets you better data and an actual record. Every hour you spend setting one up you get back three times over in not chasing people.
Consider an online group store. If you're running a school-wide or program-wide sale — or you're just tired of being the person carrying an envelope of cash to the bank — a group store where families order and pay directly takes the entire administrative burden off your plate. No collecting, no counting, no reconciling, no chasing the four families who still owe you. That's what our group store option is for, and for a school-sized order it's usually the single biggest quality-of-life upgrade available.
Expect the size curve to surprise you. Youth orders skew smaller than most first-timers guess. High school orders skew larger. Adult and parent orders skew larger still, and you will need more 2XL and 3XL than you think for a parent sale. If you've run the sale before, last year's actual order is better data than any rule of thumb — start there.
Order a buffer, and put it in the middle sizes. Roughly 10% over your count is reasonable for an adult or parent order, 10–15% for anything involving elementary students where numbers keep moving. Put the buffer in adult M and L and youth M, because those get claimed. A stack of leftover adult XS helps nobody.
Give yourself a real timeline. Work backward from the event, not forward from when you remembered. Plan on roughly 5–10 business days from an approved proof, then add time for collecting sizes, getting approvals, and reviewing the proof. For a big school-wide run, starting six to eight weeks out is the difference between calm and a rush fee.
School merch by budget
You don't need a big budget to do this well — you need to match the spend to the moment. A simple three-tier system means you're not re-deciding from scratch every time.
The everyday tier — big groups and giveaways. Spirit wear tees, drawstring bags, standard tumblers, and water bottles. This is spirit week, field day, camps, community events, and anything where you're outfitting a large group. Priced so you can order in volume without agonizing. Most of your merch spend lives here.
The standout tier — fundraisers, teams, and clubs. Hoodies, crewnecks, embroidered polos, engraved drinkware, and leather patch hats. Use this for booster sales, team and club gear, coaching staff, band and choir travel, and anything with alumni or parents as the buyer. The perceived value jumps and so does the margin.
The keepsake tier — the people who carry the most. Engraved journals, embroidered outerwear, engraved serving boards, and matched gift sets. Reserve this for retiring teachers, a coach's milestone, volunteer-of-the-year, senior-night gifts, and booster leadership stepping down. It should feel like a real thank-you, because it is one.
School merch mistakes to avoid
Ordering too late. The most common one by far, and the one that costs the most. Custom items need proof approval, production, and shipping. Deciding on homecoming shirts three weeks out means rush fees, fewer blank options, or no shirts. Start the back-to-school order in June.
Cramming everything on the front. School name, mascot, year, theme, season schedule, and six sponsor logos on one shirt front produces a shirt nobody wears twice. One strong idea on the front, details on the back or sleeve. Sponsors go on the back — they still get seen, and the shirt still gets worn, which is what the sponsor actually wanted.
Buying the cheapest blank to stretch the budget. A scratchy shirt is worn once. Order 200 good shirts instead of 300 bad ones — the good ones get worn, which is the entire point of ordering them, and a fundraiser built on a bad blank doesn't get a second year.
Skipping the volunteer or chaperone color. If your volunteers are wearing the same shirt as everyone else at a crowded event with kids, you've given away your best safety tool for free. Different color, every time.
Producing fundraiser merch before anyone has bought it. Pre-order. Every time. The closet full of shirts is not a hypothetical.
Forgetting the clubs. Athletics gets the attention and the budget. Band, choir, theatre, robotics, FFA, and academic teams want gear just as much and ask for it a tenth as loudly. Small orders are real orders.
Pricing a fundraiser without doing the math. Multiply margin by realistic units before you commit, not after.
Losing the artwork. Every year, somebody has to recreate the design because the file lives on a laptop that graduated. Keep the source files somewhere the school owns.
Two ways to order
FirstMark gives schools and boosters two paths depending on size and timing.
Custom, quote-led ordering is the default. You tell us what you need, we send a free design proof, and it's made to order — printed, embroidered, or engraved with your school's design. This is the route for spirit wear runs, fundraiser sales, staff apparel, team and club gear, and appreciation gifts. Start at the quote form.
FirstMark Direct is the instant-buy path for smaller, faster needs — a handful of items, a quick reorder, or testing quality before you commit a booster budget to a batch of three hundred. Browse FirstMark Direct or the Direct collection.
Most schools use both: Direct when a club needs a dozen of something in a hurry, quote-led custom orders for the seasonal runs and fundraisers. Either way, no order is too small — we work with no or low minimums, so eighteen drumline hoodies is a real order, not an inconvenience.
How ordering works
Here's the whole process, so you know what to expect:
- Tell us the details. What you need, roughly how many, when the event is, and any design or logo — even a rough idea. You don't need finished artwork. Request a quote and we'll take it from there.
- Get a free design proof. We send a mockup before anything is made, at no charge, so you can see exactly how the print, embroidery, or engraving will look — and so you have something to hand your AD or principal for approval. Nothing goes into production until you approve it.
- We make it and ship it. Typically 5–10 business days from the approved proof, shipped nationwide, backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
No minimums to stress about, no order too small, and one person handling your order start to finish — so when you email with a question four days before homecoming, you're not talking to a ticket number.
Frequently asked questions
What's the minimum order for school spirit wear? We work with no or low minimums, so you can order eighteen shirts for a club or several hundred for a school-wide spirit week. You're never forced to over-order to hit a threshold. Tell us your quantity in your quote request and we'll send pricing.
How far in advance should a school order spirit wear? Plan on roughly 5–10 business days from an approved design proof, then give yourself a comfortable buffer for collecting sizes, getting approvals, and reviewing artwork. For a big run like back-to-school or homecoming, starting six to eight weeks out is the difference between calm and a rush fee. Busy seasons run longer, so earlier is always better.
Do you make team jerseys or athletic uniforms? No. We don't produce numbered on-field uniforms or game jerseys. What we make is the fan-and-supporter side of school merch — spirit wear tees, hoodies and crewnecks, hats, drinkware, water bottles, bags, staff and coaching apparel, and engraved gifts. That's the side that fills the stands and funds the program.
What's the best merch for a booster club fundraiser? Items with real margin per unit: hoodies, crewnecks, engraved tumblers, and leather patch hats. A tee sells more units but nets so little per item that you need an unrealistic volume for it to matter. Run it as a pre-order with a firm close date, then produce exactly what sold plus a small buffer — that's how you fund something instead of storing something.
Can you set up an online store so families order and pay directly? Yes. A group store lets each family order and pay on their own, which removes the collecting, counting, and reconciling from your plate entirely. For a school-wide or program-wide sale it's usually the single biggest improvement you can make to how the sale runs.
Do I need a finished logo or design file? No. Send whatever you have — a photo of last year's shirt, the mascot image from your website, a rough idea, a file someone made in 2018. We'll work with it and send a free design proof before anything is made. If your district has official brand files, ask for those — a high-resolution original always prints better than an image pulled off a webpage.
Is printing or embroidery better for school apparel? Printing is the right call for spirit wear tees, event designs, and anything with full-color or detailed artwork — it's more budget-friendly at volume. Embroidery reads as more finished and holds up wash after wash, which makes it the pick for staff polos, coaching apparel, hats, and outerwear. For drinkware and hard goods, laser engraving is the most durable option because it cuts into the material itself and never fades or peels.
What's a good gift for a teacher, coach, or retiring staff member? An engraved tumbler, a leather patch hat, or an engraved journal — items that get used regularly rather than set on a shelf. Engraving lasts the life of the item, which is what makes it read as a keepsake instead of a giveaway. For a retirement or a milestone season, an engraved serving board or a matched gift set carries more weight.
Can you ship the order directly to the school? Yes. We ship nationwide and can send your order wherever it needs to go — the front office, the athletic department, a booster officer's house, or a camp address if that's simpler.
Ready to get ahead of the next order?
The schools and boosters that do merch well aren't spending the most. They're picking a few good items, collecting orders somewhere other than a manila envelope, doing the fundraiser math before they commit, and ordering early enough that the shirts arrive before the game instead of during it.
Map the year once — back-to-school, fall sports, homecoming, the pink-out game, teacher appreciation, winter sports, the spring fundraiser, field day, graduation — and the whole thing stops being a scramble and starts being a system.
See what we make for schools on the promotional products for schools and boosters page, browse everything by type on the branded merch hub, or request a quote and we'll send pricing plus a free design proof. First impressions leave a mark — make yours count.
