YDS Recommends: College Merchandise!

Whether you’re commemorating the beginning of a new year, or the end of an incredible semester, the best way to unite your classmates is with some great custom merchandise. Here are the top picks for campus merch that you can create today at Your Design Store!

1. Varsity Jackets
Did you know that Varsity Jackets stand for achievement? (Which is why these make great end-of-the-year/farewell merchandise!). The first Varsity jackets were actually sweaters made for the Harvard Baseball and Football teams, who popularised the sweaters through their hot winning streaks!
Design yours today with our doodle tool! Either go for the classic ‘Letterman’ design, or create something fun and unique to be embroidered on the chest, and we’ll print your classmates’ names on the back!

2. Hoodies
A hot seller amongst engineering and science colleges, hoodies are one of the best pieces of college merch to have. Be it when you travel far from your alma mater, or if you’re working late into the night, nothing better than a warm hoodie to remind you of your college days.
Why not get the resident designer to create a vector of all of your classmates’ names. Better yet, why not get a hoodie with the entire class’s favorite song lyrics or a great pun that resonates with the whole gang.

3. T-Shirts
Class t-shirts are a great collectible memorabilia to have. A great t-shirt can be worn to reunions and get-togethers, and ultimately framed (when you’re old and have outgrown it). Class tees can’t be embroidered, but can be printed directly to garment so feel free to go all-out with your designs! Some of the best t-shirt designs are catchy slogans, so if your class has an inside joke, use the text tool on our Doodle page, and create a memorable t-shirt design for the entire gang to flaunt!

Bonus Idea: Get yourself a white tee with minimal design, and have everyone from the class sign each other's t-shirts! A wearable yearbook almost!

4. Mugs
This one’s for the Business & Finance, Law and Media students. Looking down the barrel of a desk job after living wild in your college days can be daunting. But it’s always nice to have a small reminder in the clutter of your desk that takes you back to your class and lighter times. Customize a mug today and create something for your classmates to look back on no matter where they are or what they’re doing.

5. Masks
This one comes from experience- every college that we’ve worked with love doing a simple mask with the college crest on it. Pandemic or not, keep safe from dust and pollutants throughout the day, while showing some pride for the school that made you.
