Below are our top picks and tricks for custom gear for teachers, faculty, and students.<\/span><\/p>\n

Show Your Pride in Classic T-shirts\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

Not sure where to begin? A t-shirt, for sure! A t-shirt is a timeless piece of swag that you\u2019ll wear for years to come. It\u2019s also perfect for casual Fridays or to wear to your after-school event or sports game. We can see you wearing these while chaperoning prom or a school trip!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have a school logo or mascot, you can upload it right into our<\/span> Design Lab<\/span><\/a> and make it just right for your t-shirt design. You can even upload photos to your shirts if you want to show off your classroom or teacher\u2019s group. We’d customize the <\/span>Bella + Canvas Jersey T-shirt<\/span><\/a>. It’s a premium tee with super soft cotton and comes from a brand you know and love. These classic tees come in nearly 100 colors and are available in<\/span> women’s sizes<\/span><\/a> so it’s perfect for your staff of any shape and size.<\/span><\/p>\n

In charge of creating a look your teachers, staff, and even students and parents can wear? Then keep it simple and customize something that works for everyone! Whether it\u2019s your school name and logo in an understated design on the chest of a tee, or going for a spirited look on a sporty shirt, creating something timeless can work in so many ways.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Give away the t-shirts at your pep rally, or<\/span> start a school fundraiser<\/span><\/a>.

The best way to show your school pride? Your colors and mascot! We have shirts in so many colors it\u2019ll be easy to find one to match yours. If you have two colors, use one as your shirt color and the other as your text and ink color. Just upload your logo or mascot into the lab and you can add text in tons of fonts, your school letters, and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t have a mascot logo handy? Check out our<\/span> mascot templates<\/span><\/a> or art in the lab to find one that works for you. We have tons to offer from bobcats to Vikings.
