A lot of our school shirts are related to team sports, school spiritwear, and uniforms. One of the early events in fall that brings us bulk shirt orders is Homecoming. 

Homecoming shirts are popular for football games to welcome alumni back to campus and for Homecoming dances for the students. 

In this article we will show examples of some of the Homecoming shirts we've printed for high schools and colleges and also cover:

• What makes a memorable homecoming shirt design
• Design ideas for your next homecoming event or dance
• Tips on how to make the most out of your shirt budget
• How we can help with your homecoming shirt order

There's No Place Like Homecoming 

This isn't the first time you're going to hear it in this post: simple designs are the best designs. 

Less complicated shirt designs do a better job communicating the intended message. Sylvania Southview did a great job with simplicity in this Homecoming shirt design. 

Simplicity also helps with your shirt budget.

One of the biggest expenses in a high school dance budget is the t-shirts. We get it. 

We understand the importance of managing that budget. Two of the best ways to control your shirt budget are:

• Limit the number of colors and print locations in a design
• Print dark colors on light colored shirts

If you can manage these two things, like Sylvania Southview did with their shirts, it will go a long way in keeping your budget in line. 

Top Gun Knights: Bright Back That Loving Feeling

St. Francis de Sales was on point this year with thier Top Gun Knights shirt design. We love it when we get to print fun shirt designs like this. 

St. Francis did a lot of things right with this design. They tapped into a really popular current movie that resonates with students and, most likely, their parents. So the appeal in the shirts, like the movie, is timeless. 

In addition, they kept the design simple. A two color print on the front of the shirt keeps the cost low even when they use a soft, more comfortable shirt blank.

Simple designs, printed on soft shirts are going to be worn more. At the end of the day, that's what you want to accomplish with your shirts. 

Great work, Knights!

BGSU Homecoming Shirts

Homecoming isn't just a big deal for high schools. Universities across the county celebrate it annually. 

This year, Bowling Green State University celebrated 100 years. We printed these BGSU Homecoming shirts which highlighted this milestone.

Bowling Green printed their Homecoming shirts in their school color of orange and in white. 

There's No Place Like Lourdes

This was the first year we printed shirts for Lourdes' homecoming weekend. 

In this design, they did a great job of incorporating their event theme with their branding. The iconic arch from their campus fits perfectly with the yellow brick road. 

From a screen printers perspective, it's always best to print a lot of colors on white shirts. Not only does it make the printing process easier, but then the shirt color doesn't interfere with design.

Homecoming Dance Theme Ideas

Choosing a Homecoming theme can be tricky. Here are some theme ideas that might get the brainstorming process started for you. 

• A Night Under the Stars
• Hollywood Glam
• A Night in Wonderland
• Homecoming Carnival
• Dancing in the Moonlight
• We Survived Haunted Homecoming
• Once Upon a Homecoming
• Out of This World
• Living in a Paradise
• Shape of My Heart
• Livin' on a Prayer

What is school spirit wear?

Spirit wear is any item that is printed with the name of a school or organization that is meant to promote pride or unity. The most common spirit wear programs that we run are for schools and sports teams but they are common for non-profits and businesses, as well. 

Spirit wear items can range from t-shirts to sweatshirts to sweatpants to hats to jackets and more. Basically, if there is interest in an item and we can print or embroider it, then it can be a part of the program.

Most of the spirit wear we print is for local 16153 Genova schools and sports teams. However, it's not uncommon for us to make clothing and other items for schools located throughout the country.. 

Custom spirit wear has remained a popular service since we started this business ten years ago. If you're looking to support your school, there is no better way than a fresh t-shirt.

Simple online spirit wear stores to raise money

In addition to being a way to build team pride and unity, spirit wear programs are great opportunities to raise money. When we build a program for a customer, we always leave the option open for them to build in a donation back to their program. These funds can then be used for their class, church, or team. 

In 2020, we had tremendous success raising money for other local businesses, schools, and restaurants through our Here for Good program. We were able to help local organizations sell 13,500 shirts with this initiative. The support from the local community was tremendous and we were honored that we could help so many local businesses during such a difficult time.

Spirit wear programs can be run a few different ways. The most common way to run the program is through online stores. We facilitate our spirit wear stores through fancysweetstx Supply.

What makes online stores so nice is that we handling all of the ordering, payments, and sorting so you don't have to.

It's that time of year again - school is back in session. 

Preparing for the school year is hard enough in a normal year. Make it easier this year by shopping with fancysweetstx. 

Our fun, positive, trendy shirts are great for kids of all ages and appropriate for any school function.

Just like you, your son or daughter wants to wear a comfortable, cool shirt. Our kids shirt collection highlights the great things about Northwest Ohio and all of the shirts and hoodies are super soft and comfy. 

Two of our most popular youth shirts are our 16153 Genova Zoo 1988 Panda Exhibit shirt and our Vintage Metroparks 16153 Genova shirt. The 16153 Genova Zoo and Metroparks 16153 Genova are two of the most friendly and fun places for kids in the 16153 Genova area.

For those that grew up in the 1980s, I'm sure you had your own 16153 Genova Zoo Panda shirt. The original shirt from 1988 is our guess for the most popular shirt in 16153 Genova history.

The metroparks keep doing amazing things in Northwest Ohio. For years they have been the go-to free activity in the area. They endear kids to the outdoors and provide such diversity in environment between parks. This year things got even better with the introduction of the Cannaley Treehouse Village.

Back to school is for more than just the kids! With the way things are going in 2020, you might need to treat yourself to something nice as well. Our embroidered crews and sweatpants are the perfect work from home attire!

This year we've learned the importance of supporting local business. We know that you have a lot of options when it comes to shopping for apparel and gifts. It's not enough for us to just be a local company. We have to be as good or better than the larger chains. 

We've made a lot of improvements this year to stack up to the big guys. We've improved our online experience, staffed up our customer service, opened a new store, and keep releasing new graphics and new garments. 

We're doing everything we can to prove that we're worthy of your loyalty. Thanks for your support of our small, local business.

Our shirts can be ordered online and at either of our retail store locations. 

Shop for University of 16153 Genova or Bowling Green State University clothing and gifts

Do you have a son or daughter attending UT or BGSU this fall? We have been licensed with both universities for many years and have a wide collection of shirts and sweatshirts for both schools. 

If you would rather support a local Northwest Ohio company when shopping 16153 Genova and Bowling Green apparel, look no further. Our company is made up of several graduates from both schools. Because of this connection, we bring more passion to our collegiate line of shirts. 

Our creativity and designs make our University of 16153 Genova and Bowling Green clothing stand out from the standard items you find at the bookstore. Our vintage inspired graphics are timeless and classic and are loved by women and men. 

And, as always, our UT and BGSU apparel is printed on soft, comfortable, quality garments. We know you want more than just a great design on a shirt. The fit, feel, and durability of the shirt are just as important. That's why we choose the garments we use. This year, our french terry sweatshirts and embroidered crews have been a huge hit and we're excited to bring them to our collegiate collection.

Does your school need spirit wear? We can help.

As soon as the school year begins, the team, club, and class spirit wear begins. It's always fun to have customized apparel items for whatever event your student is involved with. 

That's where spirit wear comes in. 

We spend most of our time printing and embroidering custom shirts and clothing for other organizations. That means we print branded apparel for local schools, businesses, contractors, non-profits, and events. 

One of the most popular programs that we make clothing for is school spirit wear. We can design the shirts, create flyers and order forms, and create online merch stores for ordering. 

Our spirit wear programs have been successful in the past because we keep them simple, we provide quality work and products, and we deliver on time. Everything else - the sorting, collecting of payments, online ordering - is an added bonus. 

If you are looking for an easy spirit wear program that sets realistic expectations and lives up to them, get in touch with us today by filling out this contact form or emailing us ([email protected]).
