Custom Team Shirts and Spirit Wear: Schools, Clubs, Leagues, Fundraisers
Custom team shirts and spirit wear for schools, clubs, leagues and fundraisers, with no minimum order. DTF Sirius prints team t-shirts, hoodies, crewnecks and youth sizes to order in upstate New York, one design across any mix of sizes, with individual names and numbers if you want them. Every order ships within 3–5 business days with tracking. Adult tees start from $23.99, youth tees from $28.99 and hoodies from $46.99, and there are no setup fees, so a 9-player team pays the same per shirt as a 90-student school.
Why groups order spirit wear from DTF Sirius
Group orders are messy: sizes change, a new player joins, the PTA adds a staff order at the last minute. Minimums and screen setup fees punish all of that. Our process prints each shirt individually, so you can order exactly what you have collected, reorder two more shirts next week at the same price, and mix adult, youth and toddler sizes with the same artwork in one checkout. The order lives on the product page, not in an email thread with a sales rep.

Names and numbers on team shirts
Personalization is handled through the upload and the order notes. Upload the team design once, then list each shirt in the notes like "Adult L, SMITH 12". If you have a separate file per player, upload them one per shirt. Names and numbers go on the back by default; choose Front + Back in the Print Locations option to combine a front crest with a back name and number. We review the list against the cart before printing and contact you if anything does not line up.
Running a spirit wear sale or fundraiser
Schools, booster clubs and youth leagues use a simple pattern: share a sign-up sheet or form with the design preview, collect sizes and payment from families over one or two weeks, then place a single order with us for the exact quantities. There is no minimum, so you never buy inventory to sell later, and the per-shirt price is the same whether 25 or 250 families sign up. Many groups add a few dollars per piece as the fundraiser margin and offer a tee, a crewneck and a hoodie in the same design so there is an option at every price point.
| Fundraiser step | Suggested timing |
|---|---|
| Design approved, preview shared with families | Week 1 |
| Order window open, collect sizes | Weeks 1–2 |
| Place one combined order with DTF Sirius | End of week 2 |
| Printing in upstate New York | 3–5 business days |
| Shipping within New York State | Typically 1–2 business days |
| Distribution at school or practice | Week 4 |
Who we print spirit wear for
Elementary, middle and high school spirit stores and PTAs, travel and rec sports teams, intramural leagues, cheer and dance squads, marching bands, robotics and academic clubs, scout troops, church youth groups, summer camps, charity 5Ks and walks, and alumni associations. The same no-minimum process also covers coaches' tee-and-hoodie sets, volunteer shirts for a single event, and a sample shirt for the board to approve before the group order goes in. Our page on custom shirts with no minimum has more on collecting sizes for a group order.
Artwork for team shirts
- Send a transparent PNG at 300 DPI sized to the print area; a full front is usually 10–12 inches wide.
- Mascot art with heavy outlines prints cleanly on cotton; hairline details and tiny text do not.
- Use school or team colors that contrast with the shirt color. White or light ink on navy, black and red is the classic combination.
- Sponsor logos on the back: ask each sponsor for a vector or high-resolution PNG and keep them at least 3 inches wide.
- Not sure? Upload what you have and add a note; a real person checks every file before it prints.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a minimum for custom team shirts?
No. Order the exact roster count, whether that is 8 or 80, at the same per-piece price, with no setup or art fees. Add a late joiner's shirt afterwards without a reorder penalty.
Can every shirt have a different name and number?
Yes. Upload one file per shirt, or upload the shared design once and list each size with its name and number in the order notes. We match them up before printing.
How fast can we get spirit wear?
Shirts are printed to order in upstate New York and ship within 3–5 business days with tracking, then usually 1–2 business days in transit within New York State. Order about two weeks ahead of the event to be safe.
Do you have youth sizes that match the adult shirts?
Yes. The Bella+Canvas 3001Y youth tee, 3001T toddler tee, Gildan 18500B youth hoodie and 18000B youth crewneck match their adult counterparts, so the whole team or school looks the same.
Can we run a spirit wear fundraiser without holding inventory?
Yes. Collect orders and sizes from families, then place one combined order with us; there is no minimum and no leftover stock. Many groups add a few dollars per shirt as the fundraiser margin.
Which shirt is best for a sports team?
For a cotton game-day or practice shirt, the Bella+Canvas 3001 from $27.99 is the most popular. For a budget-friendly event shirt, the Gildan 64000 from $23.99. For cold-weather sidelines, the Gildan 18500 hoodie from $46.99.
Can we print a sponsor logo on the back?
Yes. Choose Front + Back in the Print Locations option and send the sponsor artwork as a separate PNG with notes on placement.
What happens if a shirt is misprinted?
Tell us within 7 days of delivery and we reprint or refund it under our quality promise. Custom items are otherwise final sale, so confirm sizes and spellings before ordering.
