Side by Side

Old Way vs. Your New Pro Shop Way

Same three problems. Two very different answers.

Old Way
$2K to $5K
Bulk-Order Gamble
  • Inventory from past orders still in your office
  • XS, S, XL sit in the bin for months
  • Pieces go missing. You give the rest away
Your Pro Shop
$0 UPFRONT
No Inventory Ever
  • Member orders one, we print one
  • Zero cash tied up. Zero boxes to store
  • Profit hits your dashboard, not a bin
Old Way
3 WEEKS
To Reorder Anything
  • 24, 36 or 48-piece minimums per color
  • Charged per color, per placement, per design
  • Sold out of sizes or colors competitors want
  • Can't say yes without $2K + 3 weeks
Your Pro Shop
~1 WEEK
Door to Door
  • No minimums. Order 1 or 100, same price
  • Unlimited colors, designs, placements
  • Competitors pick size and color at checkout
  • USA printed and shipped free to their door
Old Way
2 WASHES
Until It's Cardboard
  • Print cracks, shirt stiffens, color fades
  • Competitors stop wearing it
  • You and your assistant coaches reach for other brands
Your Pro Shop
50+ WASHES
Still Soft
  • Premium blanks: Bella+Canvas, Champion, Sport-Tek
  • Soft on day 1, soft after 50 washes
  • Coaches reach for the team hoodie, not the other brand

Coach & Captain Reviews

Hear from debate coaches and team captains running this today.

Quality, sizing, time. The three things every owner wants to know about, answered by the teames already running their apparel through us.

MR
Mike R.
Debate Coach · 25 students
Q: DO DEBATE TEAM HOODIES SURVIVE A FULL SEASON OF WEEKEND TOURNAMENTS?

"Debate coach, twelve years in. Used to print bulk tournament tees at the local shop, cracked logos by state. Switched to Bella+Canvas tees and Champion hoodies through the Pro Shop. Competitors wore the team hoodie through twelve weekend tournaments, two regional invitationals and a nationals trip. Print still sharp, fit still soft. Alumni still wearing them in college debate."

JT
Jenna T.
Speech & Debate Director · 80 students
Q: WHAT IF A NEW COMPETITOR QUALIFIES TO NATIONALS AND I NEED A LADIES SMALL IN TWO WEEKS?

"Used to over-order on team shirts and end up with eight extra adult smalls no one wanted. Now every parent picks their kid size and event color from the link. Late qualifiers for nationals get the team hoodie and travel tee to the door before the flight. No size juggling on the airport curb."

RK
Ryan K.
Forensics Coach · 120 students
Q: I TEACH ENGLISH FIVE PERIODS AND COACH SPEECH AND DEBATE FOUR NIGHTS A WEEK. WHO BUILDS THE SHOP?

"English teacher five periods, head debate coach four nights a week, plus chaperoning twelve weekend tournaments. Done-For-You plan built the entire debate team store: competitor tees, coach polos, parent shirts, lay-judge thank-you hoodies, alumni hoodies. I send the team art once a month, they swap collections for invitationals, state, nationals and alumni weekend. Boosters cleared $2,600 our first season."

Coach & Captain Questions

The questions we get asked most

Can we print our debate team logo, school name and custom debate team designs on shirts, hoodies and sweatshirts?+

Yes. Every tee, hoodie, sweatshirt and embroidered hat supports your debate team logo, school name, event callouts (LD, PF, Policy, Congress, Worlds, Extemp), tournament titles and team mottos on the front, back, sleeve or chest. Unlimited design elements on one side, no per-color fee. Debate team shirt designs, debate team shirt ideas, debate team uniforms and debate team merch all under one branded URL.

Do you make formal competition suits, blazers, dress shoes, flow pads or timers?+

No. Formal competition suits, blazers, dress shoes, flow pads and tournament timers come from formal-wear retailers and speech-and-debate supply vendors. What we do best is the debate team apparel side. Debate team t shirts, debate team sweatshirts, debate team hoodies, coach polos, parent shirts and embroidered team hats. The branded gear competitors wear to practice, on the tournament bus and to the awards assembly, and the alumni hoodie they keep wearing in college.

Do you have apparel for middle school speech, high school speech and debate, and college forensics teams?+

Yes. Most apparel runs from youth through adult 3XL. Build sections for Middle School Speech, High School Speech and Debate, College Forensics, Coaches, Parents and Alumni in one debate team shop. Debate team outfits, debate team clothes and debate team clothing covered across every event and every age. Same retail logic. you set the markup per item across every section.

Can competitors, parents and judges order debate team merchandise directly without me collecting cash?+

That is the whole point. Drop your shop link in the team group chat, the parent newsletter, the tournament travel email and the speech and debate Instagram. Competitors, parents, judges and alumni check out themselves with their size and color. Debate team shirts, debate team sweatshirts and debate team gear ship to their door free in about a week. You never count team-name shirts before a tournament or hand out tees after late-night practice again.

Will debate team hoodies and tees hold up through a full season of weekend tournaments and weekly washes?+

Yes. Premium athletic and lifestyle blanks. Bella+Canvas, Sport-Tek, Champion, Next Level, Independent Trading Co. Real athleisure, not the stiff cotton tee from the cheap debate team store vendors. Competitors wear them through long tournament weekends, late-night practice blocks, hotel travel and weekly washes and they still hold print and shape. Pull a few samples from your dashboard at base price first and feel the difference.

We already use Custom Ink or BSN Sports for debate team shirts. Why switch?+

Three reasons most speech and debate programs switch within a season. Shipping: theirs charges $8 to $10 per order, hidden. Ours is free, every order. Fees: theirs charges per color, per placement, per design. Ours is one flat base price, unlimited colors. Permanence: theirs is tournament-by-tournament bulk ordering. Ours is a permanent debate team store at your URL year-round, ready for the next invitational, state, nationals and alumni weekend.

Do I pay anything when a competitor or parent orders? What about coach polos and judge gear?+

Zero cost when a competitor, parent or alum orders. They pay the retail price you set. Your $8 to $16 profit lands directly in the booster dashboard. The rest covers our base price for printing, packing, and free USA shipping. For coach polos, assistant coach tees and lay-judge thank-you shirts, build a Coaches & Judges section and self-order at base price. Watch every order land in real time on your phone between rounds.
