Custom Merch for Bands in Louisville, KY
Merch Mob makes tour tees, hoodies for cold dates, and hats and beanies for bands in Louisville, KY, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to Louisville. College students are 6% of residents aged 3 and up in Louisville, a point under the national 7%, with 6% across Kentucky (Census ACS, 2020-2024), so plan a full size run for a crowd with fewer students than the national mix.
Louisville by the numbers
Louisville has 641,962 residents, up 1.6% since 2020 (Census estimates).
Jefferson County has 12 musical groups and artists with paid employees (Census County Business Patterns, 2023). That is 0.15 for every 10,000 residents, slightly below the national figure of 0.17.
The Census only counts acts with a payroll, so most bands, which have none, are not in this figure.
Jefferson County as a whole has 795,222 residents, up 1.6% since 2020. Jefferson County has one musical group or artist for every 66,270 residents.

What Louisville's weather means for bands
Summer in Louisville is warm rather than extreme, with July highs averaging 88°F and about 38 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 43°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 13 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 80 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 Louisville
How should a band split tees and hoodies for shows in Louisville?
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.
