\nAt Custom Ink, we see lots of sports and charity customers come our way. So you can imagine our excitement when those worlds collide. The St. Louis Prospects softball team in St. Louis, Missouri created amazing and totally personal team shirts for their Pitch 4 The Cure breast cancer tournament in October.<\/p>\n

The Prospects played in the tournament for the past few years but never had custom jerseys like the other teams. This year Danielle, one of the team moms, decided to do something extra special for the team by getting them custom apparel of their own. \u201cAll the other teams have custom jerseys..so the girls were THRILLED [to have their own],\u201d Danielle explained. <\/p>\n

Danielle had never made a custom shirt before, so she turned to Custom Ink to help her create t-shirts worthy of the cause they were playing for. She used customink.com\u2019s chat feature and connected with Sera, a service rep, to find the right shirt. She knew she wanted the shirts to stay true to the team\u2019s colors of red, white, and black, so together they decided a black tee would really bring Danielle\u2019s vision to life.<\/p>\n

She explained her hopes for the shirt\u2013the girls\u2019 names and numbers on the back, the team name \u201cProspects\u201d with a breast cancer ribbon as the \u201co,\u201d and a design including the team motto \u201dpeace, love, prospects\u201d on the front pocket. As an extra special touch, Danielle wanted to put the name of someone each girl wanted to honor on the right sleeve. Sera sent over samples of different tees and design images and the two worked together to get the shirts just right for all 11 team members and two coaches. In less than a half hour, Sera created Danielle\u2019s exact vision in our Lab.<\/p>\n

Once the design was finalized, Danielle received a confirmation email with the design, along with a list of the girls\u2019 names, numbers, and names for the sleeves. All she had to do was approve the final design and wait for the shirts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was giddy when they arrived. They were JUST what we had hoped to see,\u201d Danielle wrote on her blog, Pretty Extraordinary<\/a>.<\/p>\n
