Bowling Team Names FAQ

How do we pick a bowling team name?

Most bowling names are puns on pins, spares, and strikes, like Split Happens or Livin’ on A Spare. Pick one the whole team will be happy to hear called out at league night.

Can each bowler’s shirt have their name on it?

Yes. Keep the team name on the back and add each bowler’s name or nickname on the front.

When should we order shirts for the league?

Order a few weeks before the season starts. That leaves time to approve the design, collect sizes, and have the shirts arrive for the first night.

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.
