About Us
I’ve spent a lot of time on the sideline. As a player, as a coach for nearly 15 years, and as a parent and fan. I’ve frozen on metal bleachers, juggled practices and game schedules, and dug crumpled order forms out of backpacks. I’ve also watched families quietly do the math in their heads and wonder if they can afford to buy everyone a shirt or hoodie this season. Heck, I can't count the number of times I've said, "they want how much for a t-shirt?!"
Over time, I kept seeing the same pattern: teams and parents who put in the work and who care deeply, and a process for getting gear that feels messy, expensive, and more stressful than it should be. The gear would show up (halfway through the season), but it didn’t always feel like something you’d wear beyond game day, and it definitely didn’t feel like it should cost what it did.
Sideline Printing grew out of that tension. I wanted a simpler way for teams, families, and fans to get good-looking, reliable gear that feels like them, all without turning coaches and volunteers into merch managers or asking parents to break the bank to support their kids.
The sideline connects us to the game, to the athletes, to the coaches and to the fans. And, no matter the sport, it represents the place our student athletes can always turn to for support. That's what I want Sideline Printing to be - a way to make it easier on athletes and families to show how they stand together.
What we do
Sideline Printing designs and prints team apparel and fan gear for athletes, students, parents, and supporters of all kinds.
Instead of leaving you to figure everything out on your own, we:
-
Create ready-to-go designs with a host of color and product options for your team, school or program
-
Build organized collections so families can browse, sort and order online in just a few clicks
-
Handle the printing and fulfillment so your volunteers and coaches don’t have to
The result: gear that looks good, feels good, and actually gets worn - from game day to school hallways to weekend errands. All without breaking the bank.
Who we’re here for
Simply put... you. We’re all about the people who make a season happen, on both sides of the sideline:
-
Athletes who want to look like a true team, from practice to pre-game to the classroom
-
Parents and families who show up early, cheer loud, and support our student athletes before, during and after game days (and are usually the ones spending the money, so we want to give you a break!)
-
Fans and students who want to rep their team all day every day
Behind the scenes, we partner with coaches, boosters, students and program leaders to make sure everything runs smoothly, but the experience is built for the folks in the stands and on the roster.
How it works
We try to keep it as simple as possible:
-
We set up your team.
We've already created a collection of designs and products that fit your team’s look and needs. If you don't see your team, tell us and we'll create a collection just for you. -
You shop online.
Parents, players, and fans choose what they want - pick the style, pick the piece and pick the color. Then click to order and go on with your day. -
We handle the rest.
We take care of the logistics from here. Printing, packing, and delivering to your house, so you’re ready before the next big game or event. Most orders are printed in 2-3 days and in your hands within the week.
If you need something special you don’t see in your team’s collection, you can always reach out. We’re happy to talk about creating specific designs or collections for your team.
What we believe
-
Team pride should be easy to show.
No one should have to fight through spreadsheets and paper forms just to get a hoodie. And you shouldn't have to pay 10x what it's worth. Simple and affordable are pillars of what we do. -
Gear should feel as good as it looks.
If it’s going to be in the regular rotation, it has to hold up to practices, bus rides, and endless laundry. You need styles that fit your body and your personality. -
The sideline matters.
The energy from the stands, the parents behind the scenes, coaches and players showing pride in the hard work they've put in - that’s a huge part of what makes sports special. Let's amplify that - from the field, to the court, to the track, to the stands, to the hallways and everywhere in between.
