Homecoming shirt ideas
What should a homecoming shirt say?
A homecoming shirt should say who it is for and what week it is: the class year, the club or the court, plus the word homecoming or hoco. Keep the front simple and readable from the stands, put the details on the back, and pick a shirt color in your school colors so the whole group matches on game night.

Homecoming week is the one week every class, club and court member wants a shirt, and each group wants its own. The class wants its year, the court wants the nominees' names, and the clubs want something they can wear to the parade and the game.
The ideas below cover the whole week: spirit days, the court, club squads, the float crew, the game and the dance. None of them use a school mascot or logo, so they print as they are. Swap in your class year or group name and open any idea in the studio.

Planning
What to sort out before you order.
1
Collect sizes before spirit week starts
Homecoming week moves fast. A size sheet collected the week the date is announced keeps the order from slipping past the order-by date.
2
One design, many groups
A shared front with each class or club on the back is one run, so every group gets its own shirt at the larger order's price per piece.
3
Keep school marks out unless approved
A mascot or school logo may need the school's sign-off. The ideas on this page use none, so they print as they are.
When to order
Homecoming falls in late September or October at most schools, so class and club orders land in late summer and the first weeks of school.
For a homecoming game in early October (Saturday, October 2, 2027), request your quote by Monday, September 6, 2027 and approve the mockup by Monday, September 13, 2027.
Itemized quote by the next business morning (CT). Then about 2 weeks of production plus 1 week of shipping.

Every product, every tierQuestions
Before you order.
When should we order homecoming shirts?
Count back from the game: the order-by date on this page and the deadline calculator do the math. Most groups need the mockup approved about three weeks before homecoming week, so collect sizes as soon as the date is set.
What do you write on a homecoming shirt?
The class year or group name, the word homecoming or hoco, and one short line. Keep the front readable from the stands and put names, dates or the spirit days on the back.
Can each class or club get its own homecoming shirt?
Yes. Each group can have its own design, or share one front with its own back. Mixing designs in one order is quoted together, so the whole school can order at once.
Can we print our school mascot on homecoming shirts?
Only with the school's approval, since mascots and logos usually belong to the school or district. The ideas on this page use none, so you can print them as they are.
