Custom Merch for Bands in Baltimore, MD
Merch Mob makes tour tees, hoodies for cold dates, and hats and beanies for bands in Baltimore, MD, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to Baltimore. There are 48,347 college and graduate students in Baltimore, 9% of residents aged 3 and up against 7% nationally (Census ACS, 2020-2024), so students will be a real part of the crowd and tees and caps should run deep.

What Baltimore's weather means for bands
Summer in Baltimore is warm rather than extreme, with July highs averaging 90°F and about 43 days a year at 90°F or more, so black tees still sell at summer dates, with a light color or two for daytime sets. January averages a high of only 44°F, so winter club dates here want hoodies and long sleeves in real numbers. For spring and fall dates, long sleeves are the safe middle ground between the tee table and the hoodie table. About 19 inches of snow fall in a typical year, enough that a winter date can bring a storm, so build some slack into freight for restock boxes. About 52 nights a year reach freezing or below, so a handful of beanies per winter date is an easy add-on at the table.

Ordering from Baltimore
How should a band split tees and hoodies for shows in Baltimore?
Weigh the order by date: a show in any of the 5 months with average highs under 65°F needs a bigger hoodie count than a summer date, when tees and caps should fill most of the table.
