Design the Details

Make the Finished Product Feel Like Yours

Build around the visual details that matter to your school, team, facility, or brand. Start with what you know and refine the layout as the project develops.

Colors

Coordinate eligible products with your school, team, facility, or brand colors.

Logos & Mascots

Incorporate school marks, team logos, mascots, seals, and other approved artwork.

Graphics & Lettering

Add names, mottos, facility text, sponsor graphics, and other visual elements.

Layout & Placement

Work through size, spacing, positioning, and overall design balance before production.

Do Not Have Perfect Artwork?

Start With the Best File You Have

You do not need to know whether your artwork is print-ready before contacting us. Send the highest-quality original logo, graphic, or image you have and our Design & Print team can review it for production.

AI, EPS, SVG & Vector PDF Preferred for logos, mascots, lettering, and scalable graphics.
PNG, JPG, TIFF & PSD May work when the file has enough resolution for the final print size.
High-Resolution Images For many printed products, approximately 300 PPI at final print size is a useful target.
Brand Guidelines Pantone, CMYK, and official brand references can help communicate your intended colors.

From Idea to Production

A Clear Path From Artwork to Finished Product

You do not need every detail finalized before reaching out. Start with your idea, share what you have, review the proof, and approve the design before production begins.

Step 1

Share Your Idea

Tell us what you are creating, where it will be used, and the overall look you want to achieve.

Step 2

Send Your Artwork

Provide your best logos, graphics, colors, measurements, references, and other project details.

Step 3

Review Your Proof

Check layout, spelling, colors, logo placement, dimensions, sponsor marks, and overall balance.

Step 4

Approve for Production

Once the final layout is approved, your project can move into printing and manufacturing.

Match the Look

Colors That Work With Your Brand

Screens and printed materials do not reproduce color the same way, so official brand information gives the Design & Print team a stronger starting point when preparing your project.

Designed to Work at Full Scale

Make the Design Work From Across the Room

Large-format athletic graphics need to remain clear when they are enlarged. The strongest designs balance logos, text, markings, and background graphics instead of letting every element compete for attention.

Readable

Important logos, names, and lettering should stay clear when viewed from around the facility.

Balanced

Graphics should support the product and brand without making the finished layout feel crowded.

Built for Scale

Artwork quality, dimensions, and placement are considered around the size of the finished product.
