Custom Team Apparel for Schools & Clubs

Custom Sports Team Apparel for Schools, Clubs and Booster Programs

Custom high school sports apparel starts at $17.14 decorated — a Gildan 5000B youth tee with an embroidered team logo. An adult performance tee is $22.89, a coach's polo $29.91, a warm-up crewneck $29.52 and a team cap $18.24. Every figure is the garment plus one embroidered logo, which is the number a treasurer or athletic director actually needs when a season budget is being built. There is no minimum: a coach can order one sample before committing the roster.

The range covers what a full program wears across a season — athletic tees and long sleeves, performance polos for coaches and athletic department staff, warm-up quarter-zips, hoodies and crewnecks, fleece and soft shell jackets for sideline staff, team caps, beanies and a visor, plus youth sizes for players. Sport-Tek PosiCharge, Gildan, BELLA+CANVAS, Champion, New Era, Port Authority and Nike are all here, so club uniforms, spirit wear drops and coach gear can share one color and one logo file.

Embroidery is the usual choice for polos, caps, quarter-zips and jackets because a stitched crest keeps its edges through a season of washing. DTF printing handles large front or back designs — player names, numbers, championship graphics and multi-color mascots — and prints the same artwork on tees, hoodies and warm-ups so a mixed order still looks like one kit. You approve a digital mockup before production starts.

Athletic team apparel: tees and long sleeves

Tees carry most of a program's volume because they cover players, parents, fundraisers and athletic department shirts in one design. Gildan 5000B youth is $17.14 decorated and its adult twin Gildan 5000 $19.81, so a school can dress players and supporters in the same shirt. For practice and game-day wear, Sport-Tek YST350 PosiCharge is $19.22 and ST350 $22.89 — the PosiCharge finish locks color so team shirts do not fade to a different shade at different rates. Heavier options: Gildan H000 Hammer $22.46, New Era NEA100 Heritage Blend $26.70, NEA135 tri-blend $27.69 and ST380 Elevate $27.99. Long sleeves for cool-weather sports: YST350LS youth $20.97, Gildan 5400 $24.10, 2400 Ultra Cotton $29.00 and New Era NEA102 $32.15.

Polos for coaches, officials and athletic department staff

A polo is what separates staff from players on the sideline and what an athletic director wears to a district meeting. Sport-Tek ST640 PosiCharge RacerMesh is $29.91 decorated and runs light in heat; ST520 Posi-UV Pro $30.22 adds UPF 50 for outdoor seasons, with long-sleeve versions ST520LS $33.05 and ST640LS $33.30. ST650 Micropique Sport-Wick at $41.16 is the standard head-coach polo. For a dressier staff look, New Era NEA225 Power and LNEA225 women's are $45.57, and Nike NKDC1991 Dri-FIT women's $60.42. More cuts and colors sit in custom polos.

Warm-ups, hoodies and sideline layers

Warm-ups are the item players keep, so they are the item boosters sell most easily. Gildan 18000 crewneck is $29.52 decorated and 18500 hoodie $38.96 — the pair most spirit-wear drops are built on. Port Authority K112 and LK112 women's UPF quarter-zip at $41.09 are the lightest warm-up layers and add sun protection for spring sports. Heavier fleece: New Era NEA137 $43.33, Gildan 18600 full-zip $47.83, BELLA+CANVAS 3719 $51.54, Sport-Tek ST253 and LST253 women's $51.55, and ST283 super heavyweight $67.64. Sideline staff in bad weather: Port Authority L217 women's fleece $48.39, F217 $50.30 and J317 soft shell $60.34.

Caps, beanies and youth sizes

Headwear is the cheapest way to put a crest in front of a crowd. Port Authority CP80 is $18.24 decorated, C993 foam trucker $19.58, C939 beanie $19.80 for winter sports, Sport-Tek STC39 $22.87, Richardson 112 $25.50 and New Era NE219 visor $28.28 for tennis and golf. Players in youth sizes are covered by the same designs: Gildan 8800B youth polo $23.66, Sport-Tek YST640 $24.90, YST357 youth quarter-zip $26.90, Gildan 18000B crew $26.94, 18500B hoodie $34.68 and YC914 youth cap $18.24. The full youth range is in youth & school apparel.

How a team or booster club orders

Pick the garment, upload the school or club logo, choose embroidery or DTF, and approve the digital mockup we send before production. Order from 1 piece, so a coach can hold a sample at a parents' meeting before the roster order goes in. Volume discounts are 5% from 12 pieces, 10% from 24 and 20% from 48 or more, and mixed styles count toward the same tier — 20 tees plus 15 hoodies plus 15 caps is a 48-piece order, not three small ones. Production is 1–3 business days for a single piece and 3–5 business days for bulk after approval, and orders ship anywhere in the United States. We decorate your own artwork; if a design uses a mark owned by someone else — a college, a league or a brand — we need written permission from the rights holder before production. For a season plan across several teams, send the list through the quote form.

What does a high school sports program usually order?

Four items cover most programs: a practice tee (Sport-Tek ST350 from $22.89 decorated, YST350 youth from $19.22), a warm-up layer (Gildan 18000 crewneck from $29.52 or a Port Authority K112 quarter-zip from $41.09), a coach and staff polo (ST640 from $29.91) and a team cap (CP80 from $18.24). Fundraising drops usually add a hoodie — Gildan 18500 from $38.96 — because supporters buy outerwear more readily than shirts.

Do you work with booster clubs and athletic departments?

Yes. Booster clubs, athletic departments, club sports programs and academic teams order the same way, and there is no account to open. One order can mix player, coach and supporter items and still reach a single volume tier: 5% from 12 pieces, 10% from 24 and 20% from 48 or more. Your logo file and thread colors stay on record, so next season's re-order matches this season's gear instead of drifting a shade.

Can you add player names and numbers?

Yes — names and numbers are priced like any other placement, by decoration zone on the product page: a chest zone has one price, the upper back another, a sleeve a third, and the figure is shown next to each zone before you add to cart. A different name or number on every piece does not change the zone price. For example, on the Sport-Tek ST350 tee an upper-back DTF print is $10 per piece and a left-chest DTF crest $8. Send the roster with the order notes or through the quote form and we set up the full run from it.

Do you carry youth sizes for players and adult sizes for coaches?

Yes, and many styles exist in both: Gildan 5000B youth at $17.14 decorated next to Gildan 5000 adult at $19.81, Sport-Tek YST350 at $19.22 next to ST350 at $22.89, Gildan 18000B youth crew at $26.94 next to 18000 adult at $29.52. Same style, same color, one production run — which is what makes a team look kitted out rather than assembled from two orders.

Which fabric is best for game-day team shirts?

For anything worn while moving, a moisture-wicking polyester knit — Sport-Tek PosiCharge ST350 at $22.89 decorated is the reference — because the color is locked into the fiber and shirts bought a year apart still match. For spirit wear and supporter shirts sold at games, heavy cotton reads better and feels more like retail: Gildan 5000 at $19.81 or the H000 Hammer at $22.46. Outdoor spring and summer seasons are the case for UPF 50 styles such as the ST520 polo at $30.22.
