How to Choose the Right Tee for Your Event, Team, or Brand

Choosing the right tee may seem simple at first - but there’s actually a lot to think about! Fabric, fit, style, and color all impact comfort, appearance, and how your branding comes across.

Let’s break it down and make the decision easier!

Material Matters

The fabric of your tee can completely change the wearing experience. Common options include:

• 100% Cotton: Soft, breathable, and classic! Great for casual events, volunteer projects, or everyday team wear.
• Poly + Cotton Blend: Combines durability and softness. Blends often hold up better over time and resist shrinking or fading.
• Sustainability Made Garments: Perfect for organizations looking to reduce environmental impact, like organic cotton or recycled polyester options.
• Sport / Sweat-Wicking Garments: Lightweight, breathable, and designed to keep you cool — ideal for athletic events, races, or team sports.

Choosing the right material often comes down to comfort, durability, and performance.

Color and Brand Considerations

Matching a specific color? Some colors may only be available in certain materials or styles. Standard colors, however, are usually offered across a wide variety of garments - giving you more flexibility!

If your goal is an elevated or branded look, consider premium or name-brand garments. A higher-end tee, sweater, or jacket can elevate your brand and make team members feel proud to wear it.

Event or Team Needs

The type of event or team use really shapes the best tee choice. Think about what your participants need and the impression you want to make:

• Volunteer or casual events: Go for versatility and comfort. Unisex tees fit a wide range of people and keep things approachable.
• Sporting events: Prioritize performance and mobility. Lightweight, breathable fabrics with sweat-wicking technology help participants stay cool and active!
• Team or branded merchandise: Elevate your look with premium tees, branded jackets, or sweaters. These options create pride, cohesion, and a polished feel.

Other Factors to Consider

A few extra things to help narrow your choice:

• Fit: - Unisex, men's, women's or relaxed cuts. Think about your audience and what will work best.
• Durability: Will these tees be washed frequently? Choose fabrics that will hold up over time!
• Budget: Specialty fabrics or premium brands will cost more, so be sure to balance quality with quantity.
• Decoration method: Some fabrics take screen printing, embroidery, or heat transfers better than others.
