The end-of-season banquet is when the league hands out trophies, says thanks to the coaches, and closes the year. A banquet shirt with the season year, the championship team, and a roster strip on the back gives every family in the league a piece of memorabilia to take home. Pro Shops lists it on the league storefront 3 to 4 weeks before the banquet date and ships per family.

What to Print on a Banquet Shirt

Best Styles for the Banquet

Roster Print Layout

The full league roster (every player on every team) prints down the back of the shirt as a single image file. The commissioner uploads a finalized roster list and the SKU prints the same back artwork on every shirt. No per-name customization at checkout (different from regular jerseys), so the storefront SKU is simpler and the family only picks size.

When to Launch the Banquet Shirt

Launch 3 to 4 weeks before the banquet so families have the shirt for the event. Keep the SKU live for a week after the banquet for the families who never made the event but still want the shirt. Average attach rate is 50% to 75% of families, with 30% to 50% buying two shirts (child plus parent).

Frequently Asked Questions

Does each player need to enter their name at checkout for the banquet shirt?

No. The full league roster is uploaded once as a back image. Every shirt prints the same back. Families only pick size at checkout.

Is the banquet shirt different from the championship shirt?

Yes. The championship shirt lists only the championship team roster. The banquet shirt lists every player in every team in the league. Some leagues run both, some run only one.

Can the banquet shirt have a sponsor logo?

Yes. Sleeve or lower-back placement works for a local sponsor that paid into the season. The image file already includes the sponsor mark.
