Custom cross country t-shirts for teams can be ordered with no minimum at Bear Grips Pro Shops. A team of 8 or a program of 200 gets the same per-item price, and every shirt ships directly to the runner. No bulk order coordination, no distribution night, no leftover inventory. Coaches, booster clubs, and program directors set up a free shop, share the link, and earn a set margin on every shirt ordered.
Cross country team shirts serve multiple roles across a season: practice shirts for daily training, meet-day shirts for unofficial warm-up, camp shirts for summer training programs, and fan shirts for parents in the stands. Each role benefits from a different fabric and cut.
Practice tees: the Airlume Cotton Athletic Tee and the Bella+Canvas Women's Favorite Tee are the most popular for everyday practice wear. They feel premium, wash well through a full season, and print cleanly with team logos and names.
Performance tees for meets: the Men's and Women's Moisture-Wicking Tees from Sport-Tek are designed for active athletic use. Moisture management matters on meet-day warm-up when runners are active in the pre-race window.
Long sleeves for fall meets: the Men's Moisture Wicking Long Sleeve and the Long Sleeve Cotton Shirt work for cold-weather meets and early-season training camps where the mornings start below 50 degrees.
Youth sizes for middle school programs: the Youth Airlume Cotton Athletic Tee and the Youth Moisture-Wicking Performance Tee cover grades 6 through 8 programs that want matching gear for the whole team.
Most cross country programs run co-ed or separate boys and girls teams. Both groups can be served from the same shop with the appropriate cuts and sizes available for each.
For boys teams: the standard unisex cotton tee (Airlume or Bella+Canvas) works across all ages. The Men's Premium Triblend Crew Tee adds a softer feel that is popular with high school programs. For long sleeves, the Men's Moisture Wicking Long Sleeve is the performance pick.
For girls teams: the Women's Favorite Tee (Bella+Canvas) gives a fitted cut that most female runners prefer over a unisex tee. The Women's Premium Cotton Tee and the Women's Premium Triblend Tee both offer a more tailored fit with the same printability.
For programs wanting a single unified tee across both teams: order the unisex style in both the standard cut and the women's cut and let each runner pick their preferred fit at the same price.

Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.Screen printers and traditional team apparel suppliers require a minimum of 12 to 24 pieces to set up a job. For a small JV cross country squad or a community running club of 10 members, that minimum either forces over-buying or forces the program to delay or skip branded gear entirely.
Bear Grips Pro Shops has no minimum order on any item. A team of 6 runners orders 6 shirts at the same per-item price as a program of 200. Each shirt ships individually to the runner's address. The coach sets the shop link in the team communication and anyone who wants to order does so on their own timeline.
The shop stays live year-round, which means incoming freshmen can order the team shirt in August without the program needing to run a new order cycle. Alumni, parents, and community supporters can order whenever they want without coordinating with the coach at all.
Setting up team shirts through Bear Grips Pro Shops takes four steps:
For coaches or booster club presidents who want the shop built for them, the Done-For-You VIP plan ($109/mo) has a personal shop advisor handle all setup and monthly product updates. See the full guide to starting a cross country team apparel shop.
Cross country programs that run a Bear Grips Pro Shop earn on every order without handling inventory. Here is what realistic purchase assumptions produce at different program sizes:
| Program Size | Purchase Rate | Items per Runner | Profit/Item | Annual Revenue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 runners | 80% | 2 | $10 | $320 |
| 50 runners | 75% | 2 | $10 | $750 |
| 100 runners | 70% | 2 | $10 | $1,400 |
These numbers increase when the shop also serves parents buying fan gear and spirit wear. A parent purchasing a long-sleeve shirt and a mom shirt in the same order adds another $20 in program earnings. See the cross country spirit wear guide for the fan gear side of the revenue picture.
