Here’s the thing: some school apparel lines aren’t always the best.
It’s just a fact and as a custom print shop, it’s easy for us to call out designs that were rushed or that won’t actually get worn. If you’re going to create unity through spirit wear at your school, you need unique gear that people will enjoy wearing.
The methodology to spirit wear reducing bullying follows something similar to school uniforms, in that students who wear spirit wear feel like they belong, and that they don’t have to compete.
This is beneficial because if students feel like they have a community surroundingthem, bullies are less likely to assert themselves. The result ends up being a noticeable reduction in bullying and an increased sense of togetherness.
As a custom print shop, we can make you some stylish school spirit wear that your students can wear for a variety of occasions. From custom sweats to zip-ups, we know what students are looking for and what designs they enjoy. These are things that matterwhen it comes to students’ opinions of spirit wear.
Research shows that students perform better academically when they’re involved in extracurricular activities.
This involvement is often verified by custom spirit wear. This can range from apparel for everyone to apparel for certain members like a sports team or marching band.
Wearing spirit wear that showcases what a student is a part of boosts their morale and helps them feel like they belong. This, in turn, encourages others to join, and be a part of the school’s community.
On top of that, like pep rallies are most impactful when students wear something that reflects their school. It’s a way to speak to them and say: You belong here.
A sense of belonging is something students carry with them. When they know they have a community behind them and can represent that on their sleeves, they can use that sense of belonging as a mechanism to say no to unhealthy situations without feeling like they’re suddenly alone.
Athletes on the same team spend a lot of time together, especially during practice or when traveling to the next game. Theater kids rehearse for hours and hours with a great passion for what they can create. Club members routinely show up to discuss, learn, and grow in their passions and crafts.
All of these groups at your school then go out and represent you in the community. Oftentimes, people are afraid of this and point to when a student does something bad while wearing a school shirt or carrying a school duffel bag. However, this fearfulness shouldn’t be what you listen to.
The reality is that students who belong to a community and then represent that in the broader community often spread positivity. When a member of your town or city sees productive students wearing school spirit wear, you better believe they’re going to hold your district in high regard.
And that valuable reputation spreads amongst other families, students, and districts.
Whether you’re responsible for a group of kindergarteners or rowdy seniors, custom school apparelcan help youkeep track of your students when out in the community.
No matter if you’re off at Cedar Point or Michigan’s Adventure, it’s helpful to have matching shirts for your students. This helps you find them, them find each other, and it tends to dissuade dangerous strangers.
While your students are out in a new place, they’ll take a lot of value in having representation through apparel. This gives students a sense of community and safety.
School pride doesn’t have to end after homecoming week. If you want students to show their school spirit year-round, consider and routine spirit days.
Some schools value doing a spirit day every Friday and allow students to wear casual clothing. Others schedule them once a month and encourage students to go all out for it.
Whatever your preference, know that days designated to representing and morale.
