Cooler weather means one thing: it’s officially hoodie season.
The temperatures are dropping, football season is in full swing, and people across the Quad Cities are trading their T-shirts for hoodies, sweatshirts, and long-sleeve apparel. At QC Custom Tees & More, this is one of our favorite times of the year.
Why? Because fall offers some of the best opportunities for schools, businesses, sports teams, and organizations to show off their brand with custom apparel.
And let’s face it—everybody loves a comfortable hoodie.
Custom School Spirit Wear That Students Actually Want to Wear
School spirit wear has come a long way from the traditional T-shirt.
Today, students, parents, teachers, and fans want apparel that’s comfortable, stylish, and something they’ll wear beyond game day.
Custom pullover hoodies
Crewneck sweatshirts
Quarter-zip pullovers
Long-sleeve school T-shirts
Performance hoodies for athletes and coaches
Embroidered polos and outerwear for school staff
Custom Hoodies for Sports Teams and Athletic Programs
From football and volleyball to cross-country and youth travel sports, custom team apparel helps athletes, coaches, parents, and fans feel connected.
Custom hoodies and sweatshirts are especially popular because they’re practical for outdoor games, tournaments, and cooler evenings.
Teams can personalize apparel with school colors, mascots, player names, team logos, and other approved graphics.
Don't Forget Your Employees: Fall Corporate Apparel
Schools aren’t the only organizations that benefit from custom fall apparel.
Businesses throughout Davenport, Bettendorf, Moline, Rock Island, and the surrounding Quad Cities can use branded sweatshirts, hoodies, and jackets to keep employees comfortable while promoting their business.
Consider custom apparel for:
- Construction and trade companies
- Restaurants and hospitality teams
- Manufacturing and warehouse employees
- Office and administrative staff
- Nonprofits and community organizations
- Employee appreciation gifts
A well-designed sweatshirt can become something employees genuinely enjoy wearing—not just another promotional item.
Screen Printing, DTF, or Embroidery:
What's Best?
Not every custom hoodie needs the same decoration method.
Screen printing is often an excellent option for larger orders with consistent designs.
Direct-to-film (DTF) printing offers flexibility for colorful graphics, smaller quantities, and detailed artwork.
Embroidery creates a professional, textured appearance that’s especially popular on polos, quarter-zips, jackets, and other business apparel.
Our team can help you select the right decoration method based on the garment, artwork, order size, and budget.
Make Ordering Easier With an Online Spirit Wear Store
One of the biggest challenges for schools and organizations is collecting orders, managing payments, and distributing apparel.
That’s where our custom online stores come in.
QC Custom Tees can help schools, teams, businesses, and fundraising organizations offer custom apparel through a dedicated online ordering experience.
Instead of collecting paper forms and payments, customers can browse available merchandise and place their orders online.
It’s one more way we deliver on our promise:
