That variety helps when you are trying to balance comfort, performance, style, and price. Some groups want classic school apparel. Others want athletic performance wear, outerwear, or accessories. Having access to multiple sources makes it easier to find the right mix.
How the Ordering Process Works
We try to keep the merchandise ordering process as simple as possible. Once you browse the distributor selections and choose the items you want, the next step depends on which distributor you are using. For SanMar and S&S, you can check out through their system, and we will be emailed directly. After that, we will contact you to talk through design options and pricing.
For Augusta and JDS, there is not an email option built into the process, so you can simply make note of the items you are interested in and email us the item numbers. From there, we will follow up with pricing and talk through the next steps with you. That process gives you freedom to browse while still keeping us involved in the important parts, especially design and final pricing.
Design Help That Makes Your Merchandise Feel Custom
Choosing the product is only one part of the project. The design is what makes the merchandise feel like it belongs to your school, team, or group. Once we hear from you, we work with you to discuss design options and pricing so the finished items look the way you want them to.
Some customers come in with a clear idea already in mind. Others need help shaping the concept. Both are normal, and we are happy to work with either starting point. If you need inspiration, you can also look through our design gallery to get ideas before finalizing your merchandise plan.
We want the final result to feel thoughtful, wearable, and true to your group.

Custom merchandise can do more than just give people something to wear. It can help build pride, create a stronger sense of identity, and even support fundraising efforts. That is one reason schools and sports teams come back to us for repeat orders and seasonal updates.

Finding the Right Products for Your Group
Not every group wants the same type of merchandise. A varsity team may want performance wear and outer layers, while an elementary school may want softer everyday spirit wear for students and families. That is why browsing the distributor selections first can be so helpful. It lets you think through what your group will actually wear and what price range makes the most sense.
With options from brands and suppliers like Augusta, Holloway, High Five, JDS, S&S, and SanMar, there is room to build a merchandise mix that fits your goals instead of forcing everything into one category. We help take those choices and turn them into a more polished, custom result.
