School supplies and sports equipment aren't the only items teens should be shopping for before heading back to school. Now also happens to be the perfect time for the whole class to order their custom shirts for the year. Class shirts are a common tradition among high school students in Hawaii for the following reasons.

To Show School Pride

Custom shirts let students display their school pride at every assembly, sports game, and special event during the school year. And since each class comes up with their own design, the tees also let teens display their individual class pride too. You don’t want to be the only class that doesn’t have a shirt this year. Ordering yours soon will ensure everyone has one for the school’s first big event. 

To Connect With Others

Connecting with others is a huge part of island life. That’s why one of the first questions Hawaii residents ask one another upon meeting is, “Where did you go to school?” Even if they didn’t attend the same school, two perfect strangers likely have a few mutual acquaintances at the other’s school. After all, Hawaii is a small state, and Oahu smaller yet. By wearing custom class shirts while still enrolled, students let others know a little about themselves, which might spark conversations they wouldn’t have had otherwise. It can even help them network for a part-time job during the school year or full-time employment after graduation.
