Playoff Spirit, Championship Gear, and Spring Sports Prep: J&J Athletics Has Your Team Covered

WInter sports are heading into playoffs and school spirit is at an all time high. At the same time, spring sports teams are preparing for their upcoming seasons. No matter the season, J&J Athletics is ready to help teams, schools, and fans get game-ready.

Playoff Spirit Wear and Championship Gear

When teams are in the postseason hunt, fans want to show their support – and fast! From section champions to state matchups, playoff spirit wear builds excitement and school pride all across the community.

J&J Athletics offers quick-turnaround spirit wear and championship apparel options such as:

  • Section Champs shirts
  • State Bound tees
  • Custom playoff hoodies and crewnecks
  • Rally towels and fan gear
  • Celebration shirts
  • Championship designs

Our quick production turnaround allows teams to capitalize on momentum while excitement is high. Whether it’s a last minute playoff push or celebrating a state tournament appearance, we can design and produce custom championship gear fast.

If you have previous designs you’d like refreshed or need something created from scratch, our team can help bring it to life. Got a great idea? Our art portal helps you create the perfect graphics! 

Get in the Spirit with Rally Towels and Fan Gear

Playoff games are louder and more electric when fans are part of the action. Custom rally towels, spirit shirts, and fan gear not only boost morale, they create lasting memories. These items are perfect for pep rallies, senior nights, section championship games, state tournament send-offs, or school fundraisers. Custom spirit wear also helps athletic programs raise funds while showing team pride.

Spring Sports Online Stores & Fundraisers

While winter sports are in the thick of playoffs, it’s already time to think about spring! J&J Athletics can set up online team stores for your spring sports programs, making it easy for families and fans to order team apparel directly. Online stores reduce administrative work for coaches and programs, while increasing participation and sales. Spring sports we commonly support include baseball, softball, track and field, golf, lacrosse, and tennis. 

Online team stores are also an excellent fundraising tool. Teams can generate revenue through apparel sales without managing inventory or collecting payments manually 

If your spring season is approaching, now is the time to get your online store up and running!

Travel Baseball & Softball Apparel and Uniforms

Travel baseball and softball programs require durable, high-performance uniforms and custom apparel that stand out at tournaments. J&J Athletics is your go-to for:

  • Custom sublimated jerseys
  • Practice gear
  • Batting practice tops
  • Hoodies and warmups 
  • Team hats
  • Fan apparel

Travel sports teams often operate on tight schedules, and we understand the importance of turnaround times before tournament season begins.

Stand Buffalo Strong

5 years ago an unimaginable event happened in Buffalo.  We honor the people lost and injured on that terrible day.  We are selling Buffalo Strong apparel to promote awareness of this event, and raise money for the Buffalo Strong program.  Learn more about the Buffalo Strong program here.

Behind the Scenes at J&J Athletics: Custom Apparel Magic in Action

The holiday season brought plenty of excitement inside the J&J Athletics workshop, and not just from gift-giving. While many were busy checking off shopping lists, our team was hard at work producing custom apparel and promotional products through embroidery, screen printing, laser engraving, and specialty finishes. We’re giving you a behind-the-scenes look at some of the custom projects moving through our production floor, and we’re excited to share how the magic happens.

Precision Embroidery That Makes an Impression

Watching our commercial embroidery machines in action never gets old. Each stitch is carefully placed to create clean, professional designs that last through wear and washing. Embroidery remains a top choice for corporate apparel, uniforms, hats, and branded outerwear thanks to its durability and polished appearance.

Whether it’s a small logo or a detailed design, embroidery brings dimension and quality that elevates any custom garment.



High-Quality Screen Printing for Bold Designs

There’s nothing quite like seeing freshly printed shirts roll off the screen printing dryer. Screen printing allows us to produce vibrant, long-lasting graphics on t-shirts, hoodies, and more, perfect for team apparel, events, fundraisers, and promotions.

These cozy shirts are headed straight to happy recipients who’ll enjoy both comfort and standout design.



Combining Screen Printing & Embroidery

Why choose one when you can have both? Some projects call for a mix of screen printing and embroidery, allowing customers to blend bold graphics with textured, premium finishes. From layered designs to multi-garment orders, J&J Athletics helps bring creative visions to life without limits.

 

Laser Engraving with a Personal Touch 

Magic meets precision with laser engraving. Laser engraving delivers crisp, permanent results that won’t fade or peel, making it ideal for corporate gifts, employee appreciation items, and promotional products.

Add Sparkle with Glitter & Rhinestones

The holidays wouldn’t be complete without a little shine. Glitter and rhinestone designs add sparkle and personality to apparel, making them a favorite for cheer teams, dance groups, and festive events. These eye-catching finishes prove that custom apparel can be both fun and unforgettable.

Spirit Wear That Makes the Perfect Gift

Our online spirit wear stores were a popular choice this season, helping families find meaningful gifts for schools, teams, and organizations. The best part? Spirit wear is available year-round, not just during the holidays.

From hoodies to hats, spirit wear keeps communities connected and proud long after the gift wrap comes off.

Custom Apparel & Promotional Products (All Year Long!)

While the holidays bring extra cheer, the J&J Athletics workshop stays busy all year. We specialize in custom solutions for:

  • Corporate apparel and branded workwear
  • Team uniforms and sports apparel
  • Event merchandise and fundraiser gear
  • Promotional products and custom accessories

We offer a wide selection of trusted, name-brand apparel, including premium and eco-friendly options, to fit every style, budget, and purpose. No matter the size of your order, our team is ready to help you create apparel that represents your brand or organization with confidence.

J&J Athletics Community: A Day with Wright Technical Entrepreneurship Students

Recently, J&J Athletics was excited to host students from Wright Technical Center’s Entrepreneurship class! This ambitious group of students toured our facility to learn more about what we do and how our business is run. 

The class learned how our different areas operate, including screen printing, direct-to-film (DTF), and embroidery. Not only did they learn about our various processes, but they got to see firsthand how we serve our customers, including meeting our sales team, the different ways to order from us, how we customize apparel, and even how we ship items to their final destinations. They may have even gotten a sneak peek of custom items going out from our new school spirit stores!

If you’d like to learn more about how J&J Athletics can serve you, have questions about custom apparel, or want to order items in time for the upcoming holiday season, contact us! We’re happy to set up a time to discuss your questions. 

 

Shop Your Favorite Teams and Sports Year-Round!

 

J&J Athletics is proud to be your go-to for apparel for many schools and teams in our community. We always have items available from many brands to customize using embroidery, DTFx, or screen printing. For schools and teams, we have a selection of items available in our online stores through much of the year. 

Until now, when our customers wanted to order specific school or team apparel, such as Maple Lake Football or Buffalo Volleyball, we opened online apparel shops for a few weeks before the start of the season. For these shops, once the ordering window closed, they would close until the following season. 

For years, this process has successfully outfitted students and fans in time for a new school year or to wear team colors with pride in the stands. However, we know there are times throughout the rest of the year when our customers are looking for items to give as holiday or birthday gifts, or as kids outgrow their favorite sweatshirts. When looking for sport-specific items, our customers would sometimes wait until that sport’s store would open again.  

The wait is over!

In our last blog, we told you about our new Buffalo Bison store where you can order select apparel from any promoted school activities year-round, as well as the traditional Buffalo Spirit Wear. Following this launch, many of you requested we do the same for other schools and communities. Good news: We have now expanded our online stores to include more!

We are excited to announce new online stores for Maple Lake and Becker, where our customers can get select apparel from any promoted school activities in every style year-round! No more waiting for next season to come around for your favorites – these shops have so many styles to choose from! These shops include apparel for football, baseball, lacrosse, cross country, soccer, volleyball, tennis, and more! To see how to choose your style and design, check out how easy it is to choose your favorites in this demo!

Not only can you get items for activities and sports, but we have elementary school spirit wear! Choose from Montrose, Parkside, Tatanka, Hanover, Northwinds, Discovery, or St. Francis Xavier

Ship Ship Hooray!

Do you have a multi-sport athlete? Two athletes? Two schools? Say you want to order a sweatshirt for your football player, a hoodie for your soccer player, a t-shirt for your kindergartener’s school spirit day, and a jacket for mom to wear on the sidelines. EVERYTHING from the online store can be combined in your order to qualify for free shipping on over $50! 

Will We Have Your Team/School Available?

We are working hard to create the same experience for many more of our surrounding communities and schools. Keep an eye on our Facebook, Instagram, or in our upcoming newsletters to stay informed. Is there a team or store you’d like to add? You can request this by clicking on the “Need a Store?” button here or by contacting us today! 



Shop Buffalo Bison Apparel

Shop the Buffalo Bison Apparel Store All Year Long at J&J Athletics!

For years, J&J Athletics has been your go-to for team stores from Buffalo to Monticello, Annandale to Rockford, and many schools in between. For school and team apparel, we’ve opened online apparel shops for a few weeks leading into various seasons so fans can order gear. Leading into a new sports season or during back-to-school, our customers have the opportunity to order their fan apparel during a two-week window, and the online shop would close until the following season. This process has allowed our customers to gear up with their school colors in time for each sports season or the school year to begin.

This process has successfully outfitted students and fans in time for a new school year or to wear team colors with pride in the stands. However, we know there are times throughout the rest of the year when our customers have been looking for items to give as holiday or birthday gifts or as their kids outgrow their favorite sweatshirts. This left our customers out of luck until the store opens again.

Bison fans, have we got news for you! You can now shop your favorite styles ALL. YEAR. LONG!

J&J Athletics now offers Direct-to-Film (DTF) customization!

In the world of fashion and personal expression, custom apparel has emerged as a vibrant medium for individuals and businesses alike to showcase their unique style and brand identity. Among the many printing methods available, Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing stands out as an innovative and versatile technique that has been gaining popularity in recent years. J&J Athletics now offers DTF as an option for customization! Let’s talk about DTF custom apparel and why it’s becoming a go-to choice for many.

What is Direct-to-Film?

DTF printing is a process that involves transferring designs directly onto garments using a specialized printer, heat press, and a unique type of ink. Unlike traditional methods like screen printing or heat transfer vinyl, DTF printing offers several distinct advantages that make it an attractive option for creating custom apparel.

Why choose DTF?

One of the key benefits of DTF printing is its ability to reproduce intricate designs with exceptional detail and vibrancy. Whether it’s intricate patterns, photorealistic images, or vibrant logos, DTF printing can accurately capture even the most complex designs with stunning clarity and color accuracy. DTF printis work with many types of fabrics and garments, including cotton, polyester, blends, and even leather, ensuring versatility in design choices. Whether you’re printing t-shirts, hoodies, hats, or bags, DTF printing provides a solution that meets your needs. As an added bonus, DTF printing offers a relatively quick turnaround time compared to other customization methods. 

Does DTF last over time?

Another advantage of DTF printing is its durability and wash-fastness. Unlike some other printing methods that may fade or crack over time, DTF prints are known for their longevity and resilience. The ink bonds directly with the fabric fibers, resulting in prints that can withstand multiple washes without losing their vibrancy or clarity. This makes DTF-printed apparel ideal for everyday wear as your designs look fresh and vibrant for years to come.

In the world of custom apparel, DTF printing offers unmatched detail, versatility, durability, and efficiency. Contact J&J Athletics and let us help you make a statement through custom apparel!
