Top 5 Custom Shirt Ideas for Summer Camps & Sports Teams
Summer is the busiest season for camps, tournaments, and team events — and nothing brings a group together like matching custom shirts. Whether you’re running a day camp, coaching a soccer league, or hosting a youth sports event, high-quality custom apparel helps your group stand out and feel like a team.
Here are 5 awesome ideas to inspire your next shirt order:
1. Team Colors + Camp Name
Stick with your team or camp colors and add your logo or event name big and bold across the front. It’s a clean, classic look that kids and coaches love — and it builds team pride.
2. Moisture-Wicking Fabric for Hot Days
We highly recommend our ST350 performance tees — they’re lightweight, breathable, and built for summer heat. Perfect for campers and athletes on the move.
3. Add a Fun Phrase or Hashtag
Include a slogan, inside joke, or hashtag that represents your group’s vibe. Something like “#CampSquad2025” or “No Days Off” adds personality and makes the shirts more memorable.
4. Staff Shirts That Stand Out
Make sure your counselors, coaches, and volunteers have slightly different shirts — either by color or design. It helps them stand out while keeping everyone looking sharp and unified.
5. Sell to Parents as a Fundraiser
Parents love to support their kids — offer an option for them to order matching shirts or hoodies with a simple design. It’s an easy way to raise money and increase visibility for your program.
