A taproom that spends $400 on a softball team kit gets:
The math beats most digital ad spend. The trade-off is that the impressions are local and slow-build, which most taprooms are fine with because their customer base is also local.
| Sport | Recommended kit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Softball | Moisture-wicking tee, snapback hat | Standard summer-evening kit, hat doubles as everyday wear |
| Kickball | Premium tee, snapback hat | Casual co-ed league, comfortable summer fit |
| Rugby | Long sleeve performance tee, hooded performance long sleeve | Protection, durability, weather-ready |
| Flag football | Moisture-wicking tee, athletic shorts, snapback | Full team-look kit, multi-sport rotation |
| Beer mile / fun run | Performance tee or tank | One-off event apparel, sized for runners |
| Bowling | Premium cotton polo | Classic league look, embroidered logo |
For rugby and football specifically, we do not offer sublimated full-color jerseys, so the recommended approach is a screen-print-style design on a performance long sleeve in your brewery colors with player numbers on the back.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.Each player kit can include the player name, number, and position on the back. Print on demand handles each variant individually, so a roster of 15 players means 15 unique back prints with no setup fee per variant.
The simplest workflow:
This eliminates the size-collection spreadsheet that screen-print sponsors normally manage.
Most sponsors stop at the jersey. The teams that turn into long-term brewery customers add personal pieces:
List these as add-on products on the same shop so players can grab them with the jersey order. Attach rates run 30 to 60 percent on hoodies and hats once the jersey is in their cart.
Set up your free brewery shop and launch a team kit with player names and numbers. No minimums, no setup fees, ships in about a week.

We do not offer sublimated cut-and-sew jerseys. The recommended alternative is a screen-print-style design on a performance long sleeve or tee in your brewery colors with player names and numbers on the back.
Both work. Bulk order to one address simplifies team management. Individual ordering means the sponsor brewery is not fronting cash for the kit. Most leagues run individual ordering with the brewery covering one item per player.
