Frequently Asked Questions
Are hats embroidered or printed?
Most hats are available in both. Richardson rope hats and Otto Cap 5-panels are typically printed. Yupoong winter hats and Valucap youth hats are embroidered. Embroidery is more durable for cold-weather and travel wear.
What is the most-bought cheer accessory?
The squad beanie (Cuffed Winter Hat). Worn at cold-weather practice and on the sideline through winter, often by family members in addition to the girls themselves.
Can the squad add sweatpants mid-season as a separate drop?
Yes. Add the design to the shop any time. Families order on demand from the same link, no separate launch coordination required.
What is the average accessory spend per family?
$40 to $80 per family per season in accessory purchases, on top of the core practice and game-day apparel. Cold-weather seasons (fall) see higher accessory volume than spring.
