Spirit Wear FAQ

Questions, Answered

T-shirts, long sleeves, hoodies, sweatshirts, hats, jackets, polos, athletic apparel, bags and other merchandise. You can customize with school logos, team names, mascots, colors, player numbers and other artwork.

Yes. A store lets families, athletes and fans order their own sizes online instead of a coach or a parent volunteer collecting sizes and payments from dozens of households. We handle production and fulfillment after the store closes.

It depends on the product and the decoration. Screen printing starts at 24 pieces and embroidery at 12. An online spirit wear store lets families buy individually, so the minimum sits with the store rather than with each parent.

Screen printing is the pick for tees, sweatshirts and colorful team designs. Embroidery suits hats, polos, jackets and bags where you want a more polished finish. We run both in-house, so a single order can use either or both.

Yes. Branded shirts, sweatshirts and hats give families something they actually want, and the margin can go toward equipment, team travel, uniforms, tournament costs, band and music programs, or student activities.

For many products, yes. Names, numbers and team roles are all common. Tell us the garment and the roster size and we will confirm what is possible for your specific run.

Standard turnaround is 5-10 days from proof approval, and rush is often available. Put your date on the quote form and we will tell you straight away if it is tight.

Yes. We work with schools and teams across Central Ohio, including Westerville, Dublin, Lewis Center, Powell, Worthington and New Albany.
