Club Lacrosse Banquet Shirts and End-of-Season Apparel

Club lacrosse banquet shirts mark the end of a season the way a tournament shirt marks a weekend. The shirt typically carries the full roster on the back, the club crest on the front, and the season year worked into the design. Families keep them long after the season ends. Pro Shops handles the print and ship with no minimum and per-player customization.

Banquet Shirt Design Conventions

The conventions that have settled across club lacrosse for banquet shirts:

• Front chest: Club crest, large or centered. Season year underneath or above.
• Back layout: Full team roster with player numbers. Listed by number or alphabetically.
• Color treatment: Team color or heather neutral. Both work.
• Style: Soft triblend tee or cotton-blend tee is the most common. Some clubs do hoodies for varsity banquets.
• Personalization: Each shirt prints with the player's number larger in the roster, or with the player's name highlighted.

Roster-on-Back Layout Tips

Roster-on-back works best when the layout is clean and readable. Tips that produce a clean banquet shirt:

• Sort by jersey number rather than alphabetically. Players find their own number faster.
• Use one consistent typeface across the roster. Mixing fonts creates clutter.
• Leave space at the bottom for the coaching staff names, listed separately.
• Group by team if the banquet covers multiple age divisions. Helps each player find their team.
• If the roster is over 30 players, shrink the type but keep it readable. A 36-player banquet shirt fits cleanly on most adult sizes.

Pricing the Banquet Shirt

Most clubs price banquet shirts at $36 to $44 retail. The triblend banquet shirt at $42 retail with VIP base $24.88 earns the club $17 per shirt. With a 75% to 90% buy rate at the banquet event itself, a 30-player team generates roughly $380 to $475 in banquet shirt revenue alone.

For varsity programs adding a crewneck sweatshirt option, that piece prices at $58 to $66 retail with $17 to $25 margin. Some clubs offer a bundle of both at $90 to $98 retail.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most popular blank for a club lacrosse banquet shirt?

The Next Level Premium CVC Jersey Tee. Its soft triblend feel makes families want to wear it long after the banquet. Roughly 60% of club lacrosse banquet shirts run on this blank.

Can the banquet shirt have each player's number highlighted?

Yes. The store can be set up so each customer's shirt prints with their player's number larger or highlighted in the roster. The parent picks the player at checkout and the shirt customizes for that player.

When should we drop a club lacrosse banquet shirt?

Open the order window 4 to 5 weeks before the banquet. This gives parents time to order, allows the print and ship lead time, and leaves a buffer for reorders or size changes. Close the order window 10 to 12 days before the banquet to allow shipping.

Can we do hoodies as banquet apparel instead of tees?

Yes. Varsity programs often pick a banquet hoodie or crewneck sweatshirt. The Champion Crewneck Sweatshirt and Bear Grips Perfect Soft Crewneck are both popular for senior-banquet wear.
