Athletic departments that order custom sports apparel through a consolidated school shop spend less time managing orders and earn more revenue per item than those running individual team fundraisers. One shop, multiple team designs, one link shared across the athletic program. Here is the full athletic wear catalog and how to set up a multi-sport apparel program at the middle school level.
The catalog covers custom apparel for every middle school sport that uses shirts, shorts, or outerwear as part of its program gear:
Basketball: practice tees, warm-up shirts, fan shirts for game day. See the basketball shirt guide for specific design recommendations.
Soccer: practice shirts and supporter tees. The soccer shirt guide covers team and parent designs.
Volleyball: spirit shirts for players and parents. See the volleyball guide for print options.
Tennis: polo-style performance shirts or standard tees for team identity. The tennis guide covers fabric and fit.
Football: fan shirts, sideline staff shirts, practice tees. See the football shirt guide.
Track and field: warm-up shirts and team spirit tees. Game-day sublimated singlets are outside this catalog; practice shirts and event shirts are here.
Baseball and softball: team spirit shirts, batting practice tees, and fan apparel. Game-day jerseys with sewn numbers are outside this catalog; the broader team shirt program is here.
Cheer: sideline spirit shirts, parent tees, and practice apparel. See the cheer shirt guide.
Standard cotton tees work for fan shirts and casual wear. For athletic use, performance fabric is worth the slight price premium:
Sport-Tek Men's Moisture-Wicking Tee: polyester blend, stays dry through practice, holds color and shape through regular washing. The standard choice for coaches and team shirts worn during activity.
Sport-Tek Ladies' Moisture-Wicking Tee: same performance fabric in a women's cut. For female coaches, girls' sports programs, and athletic staff.
Sport-Tek Youth Moisture-Wicking Performance Tee: sized for middle school athletes. Youth proportions in the same performance fabric.
Athletic mesh shorts: 7-inch inseam mesh shorts for practice and casual athletic use. Add team name or logo. Not padded, not sublimated, but functional as a practice short with custom branding.
Sport-Tek Ladies' Quarter-Zip Pullover: for female coaches and team managers. A professional warm-up layer with performance fabric.
Men's Performance Quarter-Zip Pullover (Sport-Tek): the standard coach warm-up. Pairs with the matching tee for a full uniform look without buying a full uniform set.

A consolidated athletic department shop earning $4,000+ per year covers real expenses: equipment, tournament fees, or coaching stipends.
Coaches wearing matching apparel on the sideline project professionalism and school identity. The most practical coaching apparel in this catalog:
The Done-For-You VIP service ($109/month) creates front and back mockups for every coaching staff design. An athletic director submits one logo and gets a full set of coaching apparel designs ready to order without managing the design work.
One shop, every sport. Custom shirts for teams, coaches, and fans. No minimum orders, free shipping, US printed.
Start FreeA performance moisture-wicking tee pulls sweat away from skin and dries fast between activities. Cotton holds moisture and takes longer to dry. For shirts worn during practice or activity, performance fabric is the better choice. For fan shirts worn in the stands, cotton is fine.
Yes. Add separate designs for each sport to one shop. Each coach shares the relevant product link with their team families. All orders process through the same account.
No. The athletic mesh shorts in the catalog are standard non-padded mesh shorts with a 7-inch inseam. They are customizable with your team name and logo and work well as practice and casual athletic shorts.
