Custom Merch for Bands in Memphis, TN
Merch Mob makes tour tees, hoodies for cold dates, and hats and beanies for bands in Memphis, TN, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to Memphis. College students are a smaller slice of Memphis than of the US, 5% of residents aged 3 and up against 7% (Census ACS, 2020-2024), so plan for a wider age range: hoodies, caps and standard-fit tees in a full size run.
Memphis by the numbers
Memphis has 609,647 residents, 3% fewer than in 2020 (Census estimates).
Shelby County has 4 musical groups and artists with paid employees (Census County Business Patterns, 2023). That is 0.044 for every 10,000 residents, below the national figure of 0.166.
The Census only counts acts with a payroll, so most bands, which have none, are not in this figure.

What Memphis's weather means for bands
Summer dates in Memphis run hot, with about 72 days a year at 90°F or more and July highs averaging 92°F, so outdoor shows want light tees and caps. Lead with tees from April to October, then bring hoodies, long sleeves and beanies forward from November to March, when highs average below 65°F. With about 55 inches of rain a year, an outdoor date can move indoors or get called off, so keep the design menu evergreen enough to sell online if stock comes home. About 45 nights a year reach freezing or below, so a handful of beanies per winter date is an easy add-on at the table. The rainiest month is April, at about 5.9 inches; keep cartons off the ground and under cover at any outdoor date then.

Ordering from Memphis
How should a band split tees and hoodies for shows in Memphis?
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.
