Custom hybrid athlete t-shirts are the everyday piece club members and coaching clients wear before training, after training, and around town the rest of the week. The tee does the club advertising for you while the member goes about their day. Three tee styles cover almost every hybrid club launch.

Three Tee Styles for a Hybrid Club Launch

Three SKUs. One design across each. Two to four color variants per SKU. That is a fully validated tee launch for a hybrid club.

Color and Design Conventions for Hybrid Tees

Color palette that moves in hybrid club shops:

For design placement: full center chest or left chest plus larger back-center design. Athletic typography reads well. Avoid thin script fonts that get lost at distance.
