Religious and Cultural Groups
I remember we went to Bible camp or vacation Bible school as a kid. Often we had matching custom t-shirts. Sometimes we were put on teams, and we had different shirts to identify who we were and where we belonged. I’m not sure what it is or why a t-shirt can give you a sense of belonging, but it does. There is also church softball that requires shirts. Often churches are on a budget, and custom t-shirts can be a cost-effective way for the players to have uniforms.
Another way churches utilize t-shirts is for support staff. There are often audio/visual staff or volunteers working behind the scenes. It is an excellent way to recognize a volunteer and lets people know their function. Another perfect example of custom t-shirts is for cultural groups and groups with a cause.
We saw an example of this across national news when there were Black Lives Matter protests. Many t-shirts branded the BLM movement. This marked a historical event that will live on and be remembered, in part, to custom-made t-shirts and promotional items. Other cultural types of events could include dancing, crafting, and cooking. Anything can be displayed on a custom t-shirt.
