Decoration Suggestions for Fashion-Forward Spiritwear

From big-ticket project requests like collegiate wear and sports apparel, make sure you come to the table with fashionable branding ideas that show off your decorating savvy. Lucrative customers such as colleges, universities, sports leagues and stadiums will see you as an indispensable aspect of their overall marketing strategy when you recommend these retail-approved approaches to spiritwear graphics and slogans, as well as fan-favorite pieces perfect for decorating in each style from Next Level Apparel (asi/73867). 

  • Fresh Fonts on Fashionable Tees
    While colleges and sports teams typically have specific fonts used in their branding, students and fans are hungry for more unique graphics that stand out from standard offerings in merch stores. One easy way to accomplish this is simply swapping out expected fonts with more modern typefaces. Especially popular with young audiences is large, stacked wavy text in team colors. Let your clients know this new approach to text can help them appeal to new audiences like Gen Z and Gen Alpha, as well as communicate a trend-conscious brand perception. As for which styles to decorate, these best-selling NLA tees are excellent options as they’re not only ultra stylish, but also currently available for reduced pricing.
  • Distressed Decoration
    Most colleges and sports leagues have a long, proud history spawning decades, which means many of their long-time fans and alumni are still rocking vintage gear from their days on campus or in the stands years ago. Let clients know you have a simple hack to recreate this throwback look without traveling back in time by pairing distressed decoration with NLA’s Soft Wash tee. Soft, broken in and slightly faded in all the right places, combining intentionally weathered graphics with this vintage-inspired shirt will effortlessly create nostalgic-inspired spiritwear inspired by the past that fans will wear into the future.
