Plan Ahead for Spring Spirit Wear: When to Order Custom School Apparel
Spring might feel like it’s far off, but when it comes to custom school apparel, early planning is key to getting the best results without last-minute stress. With events like spring sports, spirit weeks, field days, and graduations on the horizon, now is the perfect time for schools to start planning their custom apparel orders.
Here’s our guide on the ideal timeline to place orders for spring spirit wear to ensure timely delivery and avoid the seasonal rush.

Why Order Early for Spring?
The spring season brings a packed schedule for most schools. From sports tournaments and school celebrations to graduation events and fundraisers, there are plenty of occasions that call for custom apparel. Ordering early gives you a number of advantages:
- More Time for Customization: Placing your order in advance allows extra time to perfect your designs, review samples, and make any adjustments.
- Avoid the Seasonal Rush: Spring is a busy season for custom apparel, and waiting until the last minute can lead to delays. Early orders ensure your items are prioritized and completed on time.
- Stress-Free Delivery: Giving yourself extra time means you won’t be worried about last-minute shipments. Your apparel will be ready when you need it, with time to spare!
When Should You Place Your Spring Spirit Wear Orders?
To ensure you have everything in time for spring events, we recommend following this timeline:
- December – January: Start gathering ideas and planning designs. Meet with your school team, student council, or PTA to discuss colors, styles, and logos. This is also a great time to explore different options, like screen printing, embroidery, or tackle twill.
- February: Place your custom apparel order. By ordering in February, you allow plenty of time for design revisions, production, and shipping, ensuring delivery by March or early April.
- March – April: Distribute your apparel to students, staff, and teams, and be ready to show off your new spirit wear at spring events!
