Making Team Orders Painless

The hardest part of a team order is never the printing, it is collecting 40 sizes from 40 families. Two things fix it. First, use one size grid that includes youth and adult sizes together so parents are not guessing which chart applies. Second, set a hard cutoff date and order 10% spare in the middle sizes; there is always one late family and one kid who grew over the summer.

Team Stores For Ongoing Programs

If your program reorders every season, a team store is a better system than a spreadsheet. We set up a private online store with your approved items, families order and pay directly, and you receive everything sorted at the end of the window. No collecting cash, no fronting money, no chasing anyone. Booster clubs use these for spirit wear and hand the whole job to us.

Screen Print, Embroider Or DTF?

Practice tees and spirit shirts: screen printing, every time, because the volume makes it cheap. Coaches' polos, staff quarter-zips and caps: embroidery, because it reads professional and survives every wash. Numbered or named jerseys and small position-specific runs: DTF, because per-shirt personalization costs the same as a blank print. Most school programs end up using all three across a season, and we quote them together.

Budget Levers For Fundraisers

If your spirit wear is a fundraiser, three levers move margin: keep the design to one or two colors, put the design in one location instead of three, and choose a mid-weight blank rather than a retail-premium one. Nobody at a Friday game is checking fabric weight. Schools, teachers, churches and nonprofits also get 10% off here, which is often the difference between hitting a fundraising target and missing it.
