Ordering School Spirit Wear in Tulsa: A Guide for PTOs and Booster Clubs

A great spirit wear sale should bring your school together, raise money when you need it, and make life easier for the volunteers running it. It should not leave your PTO buried in paper forms, payment envelopes, and piles of shirts to sort.

At Rhodes Printing in Coweta, we help Tulsa area schools and organizations turn an idea into custom T shirts, hoodies, and spirit wear with artwork, online ordering, and individually packaged orders. Tulsa Public Schools orders from us, and we have been the exclusive screen printer for the Tulsa Oilers since 2019. Here is what to look for when planning your next sale.

Start with a printer approved by your school

Rhodes Printing is an approved vendor for Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Bixby, Jenks, Owasso, Coweta, and Claremore public schools. That matters when your design uses an official school logo or mascot. Vendor approval and permission to use a school mark are details to settle before a sale begins.

Do not assume every printer has those approvals. An unapproved vendor may need additional authorization before reproducing an official logo. We help you work through the school’s requirements and artwork approval so your spirit wear represents your school properly.

Let an online store do the collecting

PTO volunteers should not have to build spreadsheets from handwritten order forms or chase down payments. A Rhodes Printing ordering site gives families one link where they can choose their apparel, sizes, and quantities and pay online.

We create the artwork with you. Once you approve it, we build the ordering site and send you the link at no extra charge. Share it through your school newsletter, PTO page, parent groups, or a take home flyer. Families get a convenient way to order, and your volunteers get a simpler process to manage. You can see the stores open right now on our active stores page.

Build fundraising into the sale

Your spirit wear store can also support your PTO, booster club, team, or school program. We can include a fundraising amount in the pricing so purchases contribute to your organization while families receive apparel they want to wear.

Before opening the store, decide what you are raising money for and work with us on the product mix and fundraising amount. A focused collection with clear pricing makes the sale easier to explain and promote.

Make classroom distribution easier

All orders come individually packaged. The ordering site can also ask custom questions such as “Who is your homeroom teacher?” so you collect useful distribution information when a parent places an order.

Depending on your school’s needs, we can collect a student name, grade, teacher, or another relevant detail. Plan those questions before launch so the order information supports the way your volunteers will hand out the packages.

Free delivery to Tulsa schools every Wednesday

Our shop is in Coweta, a short trip down the road from Tulsa. We deliver free across the Tulsa metro every Wednesday, so your finished orders come straight to your school, individually packaged and ready to hand out. Learn more about our work in Tulsa.

Work directly with the people printing your shirts

Many other vendors send their printing work to Rhodes Printing. When you come to us directly, you work with the shop doing the production and cut out an extra layer of coordination. That can save money and reduce the hassle of passing questions and artwork through a middleman.

Our team understands how garment choice, ink colors, print placement, and design detail affect the finished product. We help you make those decisions before production so your custom school apparel looks good and fits your budget.

Choose a shop other printers come to learn from

Print shops travel from across the country to train with us and attend our annual Print School. Teaching other printers is part of what we do, and that hands on experience carries into the school apparel we produce every day.

A simple plan for your next spirit wear sale

1. Share your goal. Tell us your school, audience, event date, and whether the sale will include fundraising.
2. Choose the apparel and approve the art. We help develop the design and select products for your budget.
3. Launch your store. Once the artwork is approved, we build the site at no extra charge and send your link.
4. Distribute the orders. After the store closes, most orders are printed and packaged in 5 to 7 business days. Tulsa schools get free delivery on Wednesday, and custom checkout questions make handout day easier.
