Track and field parent and mom shirts are some of the highest-converting items in a program apparel shop. Parents who would never buy a generic team tee will absolutely buy a tee that says "TRACK MOM" or "TRACK DAD" with their athlete's number or last name. Below are the parent and family designs that work, the catalog blanks they print best on, and the season timing that gets parents wearing them in the bleachers.
The Track Mom Tee: Most-Ordered Parent Piece
Design templates that work for the track mom tee:
- "TRACK MOM" front center, school name and athlete number on the back.
- "PROUD TRACK MOM" with the athlete's event group (SPRINTER, THROWER, JUMPER, DISTANCE).
- Athlete number or last name on the sleeve.
Best blank: Bear Grips Airlume Cotton Athletic Tee in school primary color. Soft enough that parents wear it beyond meet days.
The Track Dad Tee: Different Design Energy
Track dad tees often lean more athletic and less script-style:
- "TRACK DAD" in block letters front center.
- School logo on the sleeve.
- Athlete number on the back.
Best blank: Next Level Premium CVC Jersey Tee for the heavier, more athletic feel that dads tend to prefer.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Can parents add their athlete's number?
Yes. The parent tee can be set up as a customizable product where parents enter their athlete's number at checkout. The shirt prints with that specific number.
What about siblings and grandparents?
The same shop can carry "TRACK BROTHER," "TRACK SISTER," "TRACK GRANDMA," and "TRACK GRANDPA" pieces as separate products. Parents often order the full family set.
How much does the program earn from parent shirts?
Parent shirts typically sell at the same retail as athlete identity tees ($30 to $34). With the Self-Service VIP base of $19.88, the program earns $10 to $14 per parent tee sold.
When do parents order most?
Two waves: first home meet of the season and the league/state championship meet. The shop should stay live across both windows.
