Why We’re Different

1. We Actually Get It

Here’s the thing – we know you’re sick of dealing with vendors who ghost you mid-project or send you the wrong shade of blue for your school colors. Our founder John sits on a CTE Advisory board, our production head Mark literally grew up with a teacher (hi, Mom!), and we’ve helped dozens of schools create merch their students actually want to wear. We know what a PO is, we get that “rush order” means before the big game, and we won’t make you explain net 30 terms to us.

2. We Actually Care

You need a partner who cares as much about your school’s image as you do. We’re the team that’ll text you proofs on a Sunday before spirit week, suggest bundle deals that actually make money for your fundraiser, and help you dodge that XS ordering disaster before it happens. We’re deep in education ourselves – from nonprofit boards to youth programs – because we believe in what you’re doing.

3. We Think Bigger

Sure, we crush it at spirit wear. But we’re also the creative minds who turned Thorne Elementary’s stairs into a kickass math lesson, wrapped Van Dyke’s lunch truck into a rolling piece of community pride, and made Northlake High’s office look so good, people actually want to get called to the principal. When you work with us, you get partners who see the bigger picture of what your school can be.

Real talk – here’s who we work best with:

  • Spirit wear coordinators who are tired of apologizing for merch quality
  • Schools looking for a partner who won’t disappear after the deposit
  • Teams who appreciate straight talk about what’s possible (and what isn’t)
  • People who want their school pride to show up everywhere – from T-shirts to truck wraps
  • Folks who value working with a company that actually shows up for education

Here’s what we bring to the table:

  • Spirit wear that students actually want to wear
  • Event merch that sells out
  • Environmental graphics that transform spaces
  • Vehicle wraps that turn heads
  • Recognition displays worth achieving
  • Interactive graphics that make learning cooler

Our Process



1. Discovery Meeting

Let’s cut through the BS and figure out what you actually need. Tight budget? Been there. Need it before homecoming? We got you. Looking for fresh ideas? We’ll share what worked for other schools like yours. No PowerPoints, just real talk about getting you what you need.


2. Proposal

We write these like we’re explaining them to our mothers (teachers, remember?). Clear pricing, realistic timelines, and terms that work with your school’s bureaucracy. Everything from size runs to delivery dates, spelled out in plain English.


3. Creative

This is where shit gets fun. We’ll create designs that honor your traditions while actually looking good on a hoodie. And yeah, we know your mascot needs to look fierce on everything from business cards to building wraps.


4. Proofs

No surprises – you’ll see exactly what you’re getting. Share it with the committee, run it by the student council, make tweaks. We’ll work with whatever approval gauntlet you’ve got, no eye-rolling from us.


5. Production

This is where we really earn our keep. Quality checks, size verification, and delivery that doesn’t disrupt third period. Whether we’re stocking your school store or installing wall graphics, we handle everything with minimal chaos.

We give a shit about your success

John and his team at fusion have gone above and beyond for us this past 3 months. Created a new legacy logo that we are more than happy with, manufactured over 30 new uniforms for my staff. And saved me over 6 THOUSAND on one print order over the big name print guys. There are tons of other small things they have done for me so it’s Safe to say john and his crew will have my business for years to come.

Let’s Be Real About How We Work

We crush it with schools that:

  • Want quality that doesn’t get mocked at pep rallies
  • Need spirit wear that actually moves at fundraisers
  • Appreciate creative solutions to old problems
  • Have timelines tied to real school events
  • Want a partner, not just another vendor

And we promise to:

  • Tell you the truth about costs and timelines
  • Work with your actual budget
  • Deliver stuff that lasts
  • Respect your school’s vibe
  • Make your life easier, not harder

Look, we know you can find cheaper stuff online. But we’re betting you’d rather work with a team that gets why the senior class shirts absolutely have to be here before the senior breakfast, understands what “district approved colors” means, and actually gives a shit about making your school look good.
