Custom Merch for Bands in Plano, TX
Merch Mob makes tour tees, hoodies for cold dates, and hats and beanies for bands in Plano, TX, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to Plano. College students are 6% of residents aged 3 and up in Plano, a point under the national 7%, with 6% across Texas (Census ACS, 2020-2024), so plan a full size run for a crowd with fewer students than the national mix.
Plano by the numbers

The Census only counts acts with a payroll, so most bands, which have none, are not in this figure.

What Plano's weather means for bands
Outdoor dates in Plano run hot, with about 93 days a year at 90°F or more and an average August high of 95°F, so a soft, light-colored tee suits an open-air show better than heavy black cotton. Pack a stack of hoodies for winter club dates, when January nights average 36°F, and give the rest of the van to tees, tanks and caps. Tees carry the table from April to October, when average highs reach 70°F, the stretch when outdoor stages are likeliest. About 35 nights a year reach freezing or below, so a handful of beanies per winter date is an easy add-on at the table. October is the wettest month, at about 5.3 inches, so bring a tarp or tent for any outdoor table that month.

How should a band split tees and hoodies for shows in Plano?
Hoodies matter for the 3 months under a 65°F average high, December to February, since nights can freeze then; the rest of the year, make tees most of the order and bring caps instead of fleece.
