Adult Hockey League Championship And Trophy Shirts

Adult hockey league championship shirts are the single highest-volume piece of merch any league produces. The winning team buys champion gear for every player plus family; the runner-up often buys runner-up apparel as a consolation; the league commissioner does a special trophy-engraving polo. Bear Grips Pro Shops can have the championship design live within 24 hours of the trophy lift and ship to each champion player's home within a week.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can the championship design go live?

Within 24 hours of the championship game if the design template is prepared in advance. Most leagues prep the template a week before playoffs.

Can the player roster go on the back of the champion tee?

Yes. The roster list on the back hem or yoke is a standard champion-tee element; supported at no upcharge.

Should the league offer runner-up shirts too?

Optional; about half of leagues do. The runner-up team buys at a lower volume but it gives the entire playoff field something to remember.

Can the embroidered champion hat be made for every player?

Yes. No minimum on hats. Order one champion hat per player at $29.86 VIP base; ships in about a week.
