Tug of War Team Names FAQ

How do we pick a tug of war team name?

Rope puns work best, like Rope Dopes or Show You the Ropes. Pick one the whole team will be happy to shout.

Can we add player names and numbers?

Yes. A common layout is the team name on the front and each player’s name and number on the back.

When should we order our shirts?

Order a few weeks before you need them. That leaves time to approve the design, collect sizes, and have the shirts arrive in time.

Can I get help with the design?

Yes. Start in the Design Lab, and Custom Ink’s Inkers can help with fonts, colors, and placement.
