Custom School Spirit Wear for Schools & PTAs

Spirit wear, class shirts, and staff apparel for schools, PTAs, and booster clubs across North Carolina. Sew NC puts your school logo on the pieces students, families, and staff actually wear.

Spirit Wear Planned Around Your School Calendar

School orders run on the calendar: back to school, spirit week, homecoming, field day, and graduation. Each one needs the right shirts in the right sizes, from youth XS to adult XXL, ready before the date. Sew NC produces every order in house in Winston-Salem, so sizing, decoration, and delivery are handled in one place.

Your mascot and school colors are matched as closely as possible, and every order starts with a digital proof for approval. Artwork stays on file, so next year’s spirit wear or a mid-year reorder is quick to set up.

Choosing the Right Decoration Method for School Apparel

The right method depends on the garment, how many colors your mascot uses, and how many pieces you need of each design.

High-Density Embroidery

The best fit for staff polos, quarter-zips, and caps. A stitched school logo gives teachers and front office staff a clean, professional look that lasts.

Direct-to-Film (DTF) Transfers

Ideal for full color mascots, detailed artwork, and individual names on senior class shirts, without extra setup for each design.

Heavy-Duty Screen Printing

The most cost effective choice for large runs of one design, like spirit week tees or field day shirts for the whole school.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions schools, PTAs, and booster clubs ask most before ordering spirit wear.

What is considered spirit wear?

Spirit wear is any apparel that shows support for a school, team, or organization, usually in school colors with the mascot, logo, or name. The most common pieces are t-shirts, hoodies, crewnecks, and caps worn by students, families, and staff on game days, spirit days, and school events. Many schools and PTAs also sell spirit wear as a fundraiser.

Start with your school logo or mascot, the pieces you want, and a size breakdown across youth and adult sizes. Send us your files and we recommend the right decoration method for each garment, then send a digital proof showing placement, size, and colors. Nothing goes into production until you approve it. Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF, or SVG) give the cleanest results, but a low resolution logo can still be reviewed.

A bright t-shirt in school colors with the mascot is the easiest starting point, since it works for spirit days, field trips, and field day. Hoodies and crewnecks sell well in colder months, and many schools add a shirt for each grade or a yearly design with the class year. Caps and patch hats are a good option for staff and parent volunteers.

Sew NC produces school spirit wear from its shop at 121 Back Forty Drive in Winston-Salem, and works with schools, PTAs, and booster clubs across North Carolina, including Greensboro, High Point, Charlotte, Raleigh, and Durham. Every order is decorated in house, so you work directly with the team producing your school’s apparel.

Price per piece depends on the garment, the number of ink colors, print locations, and the decoration method. Setup is spread across the order, so the price per shirt drops as quantity goes up. Minimums are 12 pieces for screen printing, DTF, and embroidered caps, and 6 pieces for embroidered polos and jackets. Send us your quantities and we will quote the full cost.

Standard turnaround is two weeks after proof approval and payment, and rush production is available for an additional charge. St. Michael School’s 135 custom patch hats were produced and finished in two weeks. For spirit week, homecoming, or field day, plan for at least two weeks of production plus time for the quote and proof.
