Custom car club shirts start with no minimum order at Bear Grips Pro Shops. Whether your club has six founding members or sixty, you order exactly the count you need without committing to a 50-piece bulk run. Set up a club shop with your logo and design, share the link with the crew, and each member orders their own size. US-printed, free shipping, delivered in about a week.
Most car clubs start with a tight founding group and grow slowly through word of mouth and meet-and-greet events. The traditional screen printer model (50 to 144 piece minimums) does not match how clubs actually scale. You end up ordering more shirts than members, sitting on inventory, and selling leftovers at half price the following season.
The no-minimum model fits car club reality. Five members in month one? Print five shirts. Twenty new members after the spring cruise season? Order twenty more in the right sizes. New design for the annual show? Switch the design without burning through old stock first. The club shop link stays live year-round, and members order whenever they need a fresh shirt or a new color.
Four core styles cover most car club apparel needs:

Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.Car club shirt designs typically live in one of three lanes:
Whatever the format, keep the logo readable at six feet. Show parking lots are crowded and people will scan from a distance before walking over to ask about the build.
The hardest part of club apparel has always been collecting sizes and money from members who live in different cities and run on different schedules. The shop model removes that friction entirely.
Set up the club shop once. The shop URL becomes the club merch source. Share it in the group chat, post it on the club Instagram, link to it from the meet event page. Each member clicks, picks the shirt and size, and pays through the shop. The order ships directly to their address. No more chasing down sizes in a spreadsheet. No more fronting the cost and waiting for members to pay back.
For new members joining mid-season, the shop is already live. They buy the welcome shirt the day they sign up.
Many clubs price member shirts at base cost (no markup) and price visitor or "supporter" shirts with a margin to fund the club treasury. Bear Grips Pro Shops supports both models on the same shop because the club sets the retail price per item.
Common pricing approach: member tees at cost-plus-two-dollars (covers shop admin time), supporter tees at cost-plus-eight-to-twelve (funds banquet, awards, annual show entry fees). On a 40-member club selling 12 supporter shirts per month at a $10 margin, that is $120 a month or roughly $1,400 a year of treasury funding through apparel alone.
| Members + Supporters | Shirts per Year | Margin per Shirt | Annual Treasury |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 active | 40 | $10 | $400 |
| 40 active | 120 | $10 | $1,200 |
| 80 active | 250 | $10 | $2,500 |

Yes. Your club decides the retail price for every shirt in the shop. Sell at cost for members, at full markup for supporters, and the difference funds club expenses.
