Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best custom shirts for events?
The right shirt depends on who’s wearing it and what the event demands.
For staff, volunteers, and organizers who need to be easily identified, a bold color with a clean printed logo on a standard short sleeve tee is the most practical choice. It photographs well, reads clearly from a distance, and holds up through a full event day. Performance tees in moisture-wicking fabric are worth considering for outdoor events, charity walks, or anything physically active where comfort over long hours matters.
For participant shirts at runs, festivals, or community events, garment quality drives how long the shirt stays in rotation after the event. A retail-fit blank from Bella + Canvas or Next Level gets worn again. A heavier, boxy budget tee typically doesn’t make it past the bottom of the drawer. If the shirt is part of the event experience rather than just a giveaway, investing slightly more per unit pays off in visibility and goodwill.
For corporate or branded events where a more polished look is expected, a polo with an embroidered logo is a cleaner option than a printed tee. It signals a higher level of preparation and works in both indoor conference settings and outdoor activations.
Screen printing is the standard for most event shirts at volume. For smaller quantities or more detailed designs, DTF transfers are a better fit. Get a quote with your event type and quantity and we’ll recommend the right combination.
How many shirts should I order for an event
The number depends on whether the shirts are for your team, your participants, or both.
For staff and volunteers, the formula is straightforward: total headcount multiplied by event days, plus a 10 to 15 percent buffer for last-minute additions, size swaps, and spills. A 20-person volunteer team at a two-day event needs at least 40 shirts, with 44 to 46 being a safer target.
For participant shirts at walks, runs, festivals, or community events, the calculation requires more judgment. If shirts are included with registration, order to match confirmed registrations plus 10 to 15 percent to cover day-of signups and replacements. If shirts are sold or distributed on-site, sizing distribution matters as much as total quantity. Most event organizers underestimate the demand for larger sizes, which causes stockouts in XL and XXL while smaller sizes go unclaimed.
A common mistake is ordering exactly to the number you expect and leaving no buffer. Running short mid-event means someone on your team or a registered participant goes without, which creates a visible problem that’s hard to recover from on the day. The shirts that don’t get distributed can be used at future events, for staff, or as giveaways.
If you’re unsure about quantities or sizing breakdowns, our team can help you plan based on your event type and audience. NY Rush Shirts also handles bulk orders with all-inclusive pricing, so scaling up is straightforward.

How far in advance should I order event shirts?
The honest answer is: earlier than you think, and with more buffer than feels necessary.
For standard event orders with a finalized design, two to three weeks before the event date is the minimum comfortable window. That allows time for artwork review, a digital proof, any revisions, production, and shipping without pressure. It also leaves room to catch a sizing error or recount before it becomes a crisis.
For larger orders, 50 pieces or more, three to four weeks is a safer target. Production time scales with quantity, and larger runs have more variables that can require adjustment during the proofing stage.
The step most organizers underestimate is artwork preparation. If your logo isn’t production-ready when you reach out, there’s an additional round of back-and-forth before production can even begin. NY Rush Shirts offers design services to get artwork print-ready quickly, but it’s still a step that takes time. Having a clean, high-resolution file ready when you place the order removes the biggest source of delays.
If your timeline is tighter than two weeks, NY Rush Shirts handles rush orders across NY and NJ. Rush production is available when you need it, but reaching out as early as possible gives you the most options on garment selection, print method, and cost.
