School & Team
Apparel

Spirit wear, team uniforms, booster fundraisers and senior shirts — handled by a local shop that knows what a season looks like and what a school budget looks like.

What You Get

The order that is never just one order

School and team work is its own kind of job. It is thirty sizes instead of one, a colour that has to match the one on the gym wall, a list of names spelled exactly right, and a date that genuinely cannot move.

We do a lot of it, and we plan for all of that up front rather than discovering it halfway through. You get a digital proof, we keep the artwork on file, and next season's batch matches this season's.

Coaches, ASB advisors, booster presidents and team parents — you all get the same thing: a real person to call, and a straight answer about whether your date is doable.

Fundraising? Tell us your target and how many people you expect to sell to. We will help you pick garments and a print method that leave room for the margin you actually need.

What We Make

From tryouts to the banquet

Spirit wear

Tees, hoodies, crewnecks and joggers in school colours, for the student store or a seasonal sale.

Team uniforms

Practice and game apparel with numbers, names and sponsor placements.

Booster fundraisers

Priced so the club keeps a real margin, with sizes for families and grandparents too.

Senior & class shirts

Class of shirts, grad night, senior sunrise, and the back print with every name on it.

Coach & staff gear

Embroidered polos and jackets that look like staff rather than merch.

Club & band apparel

FFA, 4-H, robotics, drama, band, cheer — the groups that get forgotten in the athletics order.

Team hats

Embroidered or patch caps and beanies to match the rest of the kit.

Banners & signage

Senior night banners, sponsor banners and gym signage from the same artwork.

How to make a school order go smoothly

  • Come to us with the deadline first. Homecoming, senior night, the first game — tell us the date before anything else and we will work backwards from it.
  • Send the best version of the logo you have. Vector (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF) is ideal. If all you have is a photo of a banner, say so — we deal with that a lot and can usually rebuild it.
  • Confirm the colours. Send us the school's official colour values if they exist; if not, we can match to a physical sample.
  • Collect the size list, then check it once more. Youth versus adult sizing is where most reorders come from.
  • Approve the proof promptly. The clock on production starts when the proof is signed off, not when the order came in.

Names, numbers and one-offs

Personalised garments — a different name or number on every piece — are a DTF transfer job rather than a screen printing job. There is no per-colour setup, so each individual variation costs the same as the last.

For a single design repeating across a big run of tees, screen printing is usually the better value. Plenty of school orders use both, and we will lay out the numbers so the budget decision is yours to make with real figures.

Add a few extra sizes to any run. Somebody always joins late, and a small top-up is far cheaper than a second setup.

Local to San Benito County — and beyond

We are a family-owned shop at 817 Industrial Dr, Suite F in Hollister, open M–F, 9am – 5pm. Local schools and clubs can drop by with a sample garment, look at blanks, and collect finished orders without paying to ship them.

We also work with schools and teams in Gilroy, Morgan Hill, San Juan Bautista, Salinas, Watsonville, Santa Cruz and the South Bay, and we ship nationwide for programmes further out.

Common Questions

School & Team FAQ

  • Can you match our exact school colours? +

    Yes. Send us the official colour values, or bring in a garment or sample we can match against. Colours are confirmed on your digital proof before anything is produced.

  • Do you handle name and number personalisation? +

    Yes — individual names and numbers are routine. Send the roster with the size list and we will build it into the proof so you can check every spelling before we print.

  • How far ahead should we order for a season? +

    Most custom apparel takes about two weeks after proof approval, so give yourself three or four weeks from first contact for a large multi-size run. Earlier is always better in August and September, when every school in the county orders at once.

  • Can parents order individually instead of one bulk order? +

    Talk to us about how your group wants to run it. We can quote a straightforward bulk order, and we can talk through options for collecting individual sizes and payments before production starts.

  • Do you do banners and signage as well as apparel? +

    Yes — senior night banners, sponsor banners and event signage come off the same artwork as the shirts, so everything matches.

  • Can we reorder mid-season if we run short? +

    Yes. We keep your artwork on file, so a top-up run matches the original rather than being rebuilt from scratch.
