Basketball Shirt Ideas

No matter the level at which you play basketball, it's almost as big a competition with team shirts as it is on the court. With family, friends and boosters looking for creative ways to show their support, the team shirt is the most obvious and best way to set your team apart from the basketball crowd. Here are three fashion ideas that may help your team score fashion points and raise dollars off the court.

  1. Tournament Tees

    • Many teams host tournaments to raise funds and to showcase their players' talents. If your team is part of a tournament, a great fundraiser or a way to pool resources is to produce a shirt with all of the competing teams' names on the back of the shirt and the tournament name on the front. If you're the host, ask each team for its logo. If you're not, suggest it as a fundraising option. Print the team names on the back within basketballs with the tournament logo. The front of the shirt can have the logo of the host team or tournament sponsor.

    Game Day Tees

    • Everyone's hyped come game day! This is the shirt that players and cheerleaders will throw out to fans. It's a highly coveted T-shirt that can't be bought---it's only a game-day giveaway. First, get a local business to sponsor the shirt. This is a great way to help absorb printing costs while supplying another cheer option for your team's supporters. The sponsor could have its name screened on one side. On the other side designate your teams' fan zone. These shirts can also be raffled off , though never sold. That's a way of preserving their value. Your game-day tees should change every year to ensure they become collectors' items.

    Signature Style

    • These basketball shirts are totally unique and the ultimate team statement. These shirts are personalized with each player's personal signature and number on the back. These are for family, auction and raffle only. These shirts can be done by purchasing screen print paper, having the players and the coaches sign the sheet, then taking it to any screen printer. These are sure to be a fan favorite especially for fans wanting team autographs.
