Custom College Apparel
Built on Campus. Proven on Campus.
Awesomized Tees specializes in custom apparel for colleges and universities, supporting student organizations, orientation programs, campus departments, and large-scale campus events across the United States.
We’re not a general t-shirt company that “also works with colleges.” We were built on campus, and still operate in that environment every day.
That matters because, as any campus professional will tell you, campus apparel isn’t simple:
- Fixed event dates that cannot move
- Student-led orders with leadership turnover
- Budget constraints and approvals
- High-volume distributions with no margin for error
We design our entire process around those realities.
Who We Work With
We regularly support:
- Student Activities Boards
- Orientation & Welcome Programs
- Greek Life Organizations
- Campus Departments
- Admissions & Recruitment Teams
- Conference & Event Planners
If you’re responsible for apparel on campus — this is what we do.
What Colleges Typically Order
Most college apparel programs fall into a few common categories:
Orientation & Welcome Programs
Large-volume orders (500–2,000+ units) with fixed delivery deadlines tied to move-in or orientation week.
Student Organizations & Clubs
Smaller batch orders (25–150 units), often with evolving designs and fast turnaround needs.
Campus Events & Conferences
Mid-volume orders (100–500 units), frequently tied to specific dates and distributed across multiple groups.
We structure every order to match these real-world use cases.

What It Typically Costs
Most college apparel orders fall within predictable ranges depending on quantity, garment, and print complexity.
We’re going to be publishing transparent pricing soon, but typical pricing for college apparel orders would be something like the following:
100 shirts with a 2-color print on front and back: $11 to 15.30 per unit. This would be inclusive of all design (free), shipping (standard Fedex Ground) & Setup/screen fees (also free). For more helpful information on why there is such a huge range in pricing, see our blog post here.
