Frequently Asked Questions

Coding and robotics club after school shirts build identity around two specific elements. For robotics teams, the team number and the competition season. For coding clubs, the language stack and the cohort year. Here is how to design and order apparel for both formats with no minimum and US printing.

Robotics Team Apparel With Team Number Front and Center

Robotics teams compete under a team number that becomes the team identity. The apparel reflects that.

Front: Team number, big and bold. Reads from across the competition floor.
Back: Team name and season identifier (Spring 2026, FRC Season, FTC Cohort).
Sleeve: Sponsor stack or year patches for multi-year members.

The team polo works for the pit crew on competition day. The team hoodie covers the travel and downtime. The team hat or beanie ships small for the away tournament weekend.

Coding Club Apparel With Language Stack on the Back

Coding clubs build identity around the projects shipped and the languages used.

Front: Club name and cohort year.
Back: Optional language stack, framework list, or project name. The "Python Cohort 2026" or "Web Dev Team Spring 2026" line that members reference for years.

The showcase hoodie marks the year-end demo day. Members keep it for the duration of their academic career and the apparel becomes the recruiting touchpoint when alums talk to current students about the program.

Multi-Year Cohort Stacking With Embroidered Patches

Members who stay in the program for multiple years stack cohort patches on the same hoodie. Year 1 patch, Year 2 patch, Year 3 patch, embroidered on the sleeve.

This turns the hoodie into a tenure marker. Members reference what years they were in the program by which patches they have. New members joining the program want the back catalog of patches as a status symbol.
