⏰ Why Early Orders Are Essential for Team Apparel
When it comes to ordering team uniforms and spirit wear, waiting until the last minute can lead to major headaches—delays, higher costs, and limited options. Here’s why placing your team’s order early is a winning strategy:
- Guaranteed On-Time Delivery
Spring sports begin fast. Coaches, parents, and players should aim to have uniforms in hand before the first practice to allow time for distribution, fittings, and adjustments. Placing orders early ensures no last-minute scrambles and guarantees your team takes the field in fresh, professional-looking gear. - Consistent Design & Sizing for the Whole Team
Ever seen a team with mismatched jerseys or different logo sizes? It’s not a good look. Ordering early helps ensure everyone gets the same high-quality design, color, and fit. Plus, if you need to reorder additional pieces later, it’s easier to get the same exact style and material when it’s planned in advance. - Avoid Rush Fees & Stock Shortages
With spring sports kicking off nationwide, manufacturers and suppliers experience increased demand. Placing your order early helps avoid rush fees, shipping delays, or limited inventory on popular brands. - More Time for Spirit Wear Sales
Fan gear and spirit wear boost team pride and serve as a great fundraising tool. The sooner you have an apparel store open, the more time parents, students, and supporters have to place orders. Don’t wait until halfway through the season—capitalize on early excitement!
🧵 Choosing the Best Materials for Spring Sports Apparel
Spring weather in Michigan is unpredictable—warm one day, chilly and rainy the next. Your team’s uniforms and warm-ups should be versatile enough to handle changing conditions while keeping players comfortable and focused.
What to look for when selecting team apparel:
- Moisture-Wicking Performance Fabrics
Look for breathable materials that keep players cool and dry, even during long practices and doubleheaders. - Lightweight, Flexible Materials for Movement
Athletes need freedom of movement. Lightweight, stretchy materials enhance performance and reduce discomfort. - Durability That Lasts All Season
High-quality printing and embroidery ensure your team’s logo, name, and numbers stay sharp all season long. - Layering Options for Unpredictable Weather
Consider adding custom warm-ups, hoodies, or quarter-zips to your team’s apparel lineup for versatility throughout the season.
🎨 Why Custom Screen Printing & Embroidery Matter
Not all team apparel is created equal. Custom designs, high-quality printing, and professional embroidery make a big difference in durability, aesthetics, and team branding.
Screen Printing for Bold, Vibrant Designs
- ✔ Sharp, vibrant designs that withstand washing and wear
- ✔ Custom logos, mascots, and lettering in any color combination
- ✔ Cost-effective options for bulk team orders
Embroidery for a Professional, Long-Lasting Look
- ✔ Premium threadwork that won’t fade or peel
- ✔ Custom stitched logos that add texture and depth
- ✔ High durability for long-term wear
At Sandlot Apparel, we specialize in both screen printing and embroidery, ensuring your team’s apparel is built to last.
