Corporate Bowling Night Team Shirts

Corporate bowling night team shirts solve a problem every HR coordinator already knows: how do you get 60 employees in matching shirts across 12 sizes without ordering 60 shirts in one batch and ending up with 14 left over in the wrong sizes? Bear Grips Pro Shops opens a free company shirt store, each employee picks his or her own size at the company link, every shirt prints and ships individually.

Two Corporate Bowling Use Cases

Most corporate bowling apparel orders fall into one of two buckets:

• One-night company event. All-hands bowling night, holiday party, end-of-quarter team-building. One matching company-team shirt for everyone who shows up.
• Recurring company league. An ongoing weekly or biweekly league across departments. Each department has its own team name on the back, all share a company logo on the chest.

The same store can handle both. Set up a department-team field and a sizing field, every employee picks what fits and what department they bowl for.

Department-by-Department Team Shirts

The strongest corporate bowling league shirt model:

• Front of shirt: Company logo, same on every employee.
• Back of shirt: Department name. "Marketing Strikers," "Sales Spares," "Engineering Pinheads."
• Chest right side: Employee first name.

At checkout, the employee picks the department (which selects the right back-panel design from a few options) and types in his or her first name. The shirt prints with the right department and the right name every time.

How HR Sets Up the Company Store

1. HR or the corporate event coordinator signs up at Bear Grips Pro Shops.
2. Upload the company logo, set up the department options.
3. Pick the shirt styles. Set retail at base cost (company eats the cost) or set retail with margin (company recovers cost through department budgets).
4. Share the company store link in Slack, email, or the corporate intranet.
5. Employees order their own shirts in their own sizes, ship to the office or to home.

No procurement department managing a 60-shirt batch order. No coordinator chasing sizes in a spreadsheet. No leftover XL sitting in the storage closet next to the broken espresso machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a corporate event order custom shirts with multiple department names?

Yes. Set up department-team options in the store. Each employee picks his or her department at checkout, and the shirt prints with the right department name on the back.

Does the company pay for the shirts or do employees pay?

Either model works. The company can pay (set retail at base cost, send a coupon code for free checkout) or employees can pay (set retail above base, employees pay at checkout).

Can shirts be shipped to the office or do they have to go to each employee's home?

Either. Each employee enters his or her preferred shipping address at checkout. The office address works fine if all 60 shirts should arrive together.

Is there a discount for ordering 50 or 100 shirts in a corporate event?

The Pro Shops VIP plan lowers the base shirt cost for unlimited shirts. For large recurring corporate orders, VIP saves $4 to $11 per shirt over the free plan.
