"How much does school spirit wear cost" is really two separate questions: what does the store pay per item, and what does the store charge a family. This post answers the first question with real numbers pulled directly from the Bear Grips Pro Shops catalog, category by category, so a booster club or classroom sponsor can plan a price list before the store even goes live.
| Category | Example item | VIP base price |
|---|---|---|
| Basic tee | Airlume Cotton Athletic Tee | $19.88 |
| Premium tee | Premium Cotton Crew Tee | $23.88-$25.88 |
| Tank | Ladies Racerback Tank | $19.88 |
| Crewneck sweatshirt | Perfect Soft Crewneck Sweatshirt | $34.88 |
| Pullover hoodie | Comfort Soft Hoodie | $36.88 |
| Heavyweight hoodie | Champion Performance Hoodie | $45.88 |
| Sweatpants or joggers | Men's Pocket Sweatpants | $40.88 |
| Leggings | Signature Seamless Leggings | $54.88 |
| Hats | Mesh Snapback Hat | $25.88 |
The same product costs more on the Free plan than on Self-Service VIP. Example: the Airlume Cotton Athletic Tee runs $23.93 on Free and $19.88 on Self-Service VIP, a difference of $4.05 per shirt. On a heavier item like the Champion Performance Hoodie, Free base is $53.93 versus $45.88 on VIP, an $8.05 gap. Across a store selling 300 items a season, that gap adds up to real dollars either kept by the vendor as extra profit or passed on to families as a lower retail price.

Retail price is the vendor's choice, not a fixed markup. The default recommendation is $10 profit per item, which puts a $19.88 base tee at roughly $29.88 retail and a $36.88 base hoodie at roughly $46.88 retail. Booster clubs running a fundraiser sometimes push profit higher on hoodies and joggers, since families expect to pay more for a heavier item anyway.
