Printed Polos: The Trendy, Retail-Inspired Look Your School Needs Now

You’ve probably seen them on shelves at your favorite retail store: performance polos covered in clean, repeated patterns or mini-logos. This "printed polo" trend has exploded in the retail world… and now it's making its mark on school spirit wear in a big way.

At Gandy Ink, we’ve seen a high demand for full sublimation polos for schools, and it’s not hard to see why. These custom pieces offer a polished, retail-style look that feels elevated while still being fun, breathable, and totally wearable for students, staff, and teams alike.

Why Schools Love It

This all-over print style isn’t just trending in schools; it’s been gaining traction everywhere. Printed polos are having a major moment, from pro sports and corporate merch to retail brands across the globe. With big-name brands embracing the look, demand is only growing, and we think this trend will too!

• Admin and staff teams looking sharp for meetings, game days, or events
• Spirit wear shops leveling up their offerings (especially for fundraisers or through one of our custom online stores)
