Custom Team Apparel in OC: The Missing Piece to Your Next Media Day

I’ve spent years behind the lens, capturing athletes in their element. Whether it’s a fast-paced tournament or a dedicated media day, there’s one thing that always translates on camera: confidence. Athletes simply perform better when they feel good. But I started noticing a trend. When the game ends and the actual uniform comes off, a lot of teams are walking around in boring, standard-issue team swag. The kind of gear that feels like a chore to wear.

Let’s be honest about what athletes actually want to wear these days. They don’t want stiff, generic team shirts. They want streetwear. They are looking for heavy tees with thick collars, box fits, baggy oversized hoodies, and pigment-dyed tanks. They want gear they’d willingly pick out of their closet on a Tuesday to wear to school or the gym.

That is exactly why I’m officially expanding Face-Off Media to offer custom team apparel. I call it Face-Off Apparel.

Before my calendar was filled with video shoots and media days, I spent over four years working directly with customers in print shops, designing graphics and learning the industry from the ground up. I know the ins and outs of formatting, what materials hold up, and what makes a design actually pop off the fabric. I’ve reached a point where I am more confident in my graphic design work than I have ever been, and I want to bring that expertise directly to the teams I shoot.

My specialty is going to be the everyday essentials: premium tees and hoodies, alongside hats, sweats, backpacks, zip-ups, and polos (we’ll leave the actual game jerseys to the uniform guys). While my personal design heart will always beat for earth tones—give me a deep brown, tan, or rust orange hoodie any day—my ultimate goal is to create exactly what your athletes are asking for.

How the Design Process Works

I want to make this as seamless as possible for coaches and program directors. If your team already has a premeditated idea, I will happily format it into a print-friendly layout completely free of charge. If you need me to build a fresh, modern identity from scratch—involving a back-and-forth process of approvals and revisions—I offer full, dedicated design services for a flat fee.
