A team shirt isn’t just gear—it’s a rallying cry.
When you’re running for a cause, your shirt tells the world why you’re there. It creates unity. Pride. Instant recognition.
At FCE, we’ve helped dozens of teams create shirts that do more than just look good in a group photo.
Here’s what matters:
-
Clarity: Choose clean fonts and bold designs that can be read from across the course.
-
Color: Bright colors (think royal blue, neon green) stand out better on race day and in photos.
-
Comfort: Moisture-wicking or lightweight blends make sure runners stay cool and comfortable.
One hospital team we worked with kept their design simple: a heart icon, their team name, and a tagline—Running for a Cure.
It wasn’t flashy.
It was powerful.
And it made every runner feel like part of something bigger.
The perfect team shirt isn’t just about the run.
It’s about the story you carry every step of the way.
