We’re giving you a sneak peek at some of the projects and processes at work!

Embroidery

We’re mesmerized watching the embroidery machine at work.

Screen Printing

These cozy shirts look great coming off the screen printing dryer! The lucky recipients of these shirts will love them.

Screen Printing AND Embroidery

This order had a mix of screen printed and embroidered items. We won’t limit your creativity!

Laser Engraving

Is it magic or machine? Missy was hard at work laser engraving these Yeti tumblers for some lucky caffeine lovers.

Don’t forget the Glitter!

What are the holidays without some shimmer and shine? Look at how pretty these rhinestone and glitter shirts turned out!

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 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!

We are excited to announce a new online store 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 – this shop has so many styles to choose from!
There are many styles and designs available, including football, 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!

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!
