Gear Up For Summer With J&J Athletics: Custom Shirts, Event Tees & More!

Summer is right around the corner, and that means it’s time to start planning for everything from summer camps and events to construction season and celebrations. Whether you’re outfitting a sports team, organizing an event, or hosting a party, the right custom gear helps you stay cool, look professional, and stand out in the summer sun.

At J&J Athletics, we specialize in custom screen printing, branded work shirts, event tees, and promotional items, all designed for a busy summer season.

Why Customize?

From screen-printed shirts and work apparel to promotional items, the right gear helps build brand visibility, creates team unity, elevates events and experiences, and leaves a lasting impression on guests, clients, and teams. No matter the occasion, custom apparel brings people together and reinforces your brand in a way that’s both practical and memorable.

Custom Screen Printing for Summer Events & Teams

When it comes to customized apparel, screen printing remains one of the best options for high-quality, long-lasting designs. Screen printing is perfect for:

  • Summer camps and youth programs
  • Company events and team outings
  • Community events and fundraisers
  • Sports teams and rec leagues

Warm weather calls for apparel that not only looks great, but performs well too. Choosing the right materials like moisture-wicking fabrics and lightweight blends can make a big difference in comfort during long summer days. Custom apparel isn’t just about style, function is just as important. From breathable work shirts to soft, everyday tees, the right gear helps your team or group stay comfortable while representing your brand. Whether you’re outfitting a small team or a large event, custom t-shirts are a simple way to make a lasting impression.

Work Shirts for Construction Season

It’s said that Minnesota has two seasons: Winter & Construction Season. With peak construction season upon us, having the right custom work shirts is essential for crews working long hours outdoors. Branded workwear helps:

  • Keep teams cool with breathable, performance fabrics
  • Create a professional, consistent look on job sites
  • Promote your business wherever your crew goes
  • Protect against harmful UV rays with certain fabrics
  • Hold up to tough, daily use

Investing in durable, high-quality workwear isn’t just about appearance, it’s also about comfort, safety, and long-term value for your team.

From UV-protecting work shirts to custom polos, our team can customize any style of apparel with your brand. Check out all of the brands we carry here.

Don’t Forget the Can Koozies! 

No summer event is complete without the extras, and custom can koozies are always a hit! These fun promotional items are ideal for any occasion, including graduation parties, weddings, bachelor or bachelorette parties, family gatherings, baby showers, corporate giveaways, or even a fun weekend at the lake. They’re practical, fun, and easy to customize, making them a go-to item that guests will keep and reuse long after the event is over.

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!
