Custom Merch for Schools and Clubs in Portland, OR
Merch Mob makes spirit wear, team orders, and class and graduation shirts for schools and clubs in Portland, OR, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to Portland. Just 12% of Portland residents 3 and older are in K-12 school, well under 17% nationally and against 15% statewide (Census ACS, 2020-2024), so alumni, staff and parents may buy as much spirit wear as students, and adult sizes need depth.

What Portland's weather means for schools and clubs
August warms to an average high of 81°F, a short break for summer camps, but highs sit under 65°F from October to April, so fleece still leads the school-year orders. Short sleeves fit June to September, when highs average 70°F or more and the year's handful of hot days arrive (about 11 days at 90°F or above), so summer camp shirts can be light tees and the rest of the order long-sleeve. About 44 inches of rain fall in a year, so outdoor teams often practice in the rain; a water-resistant warmup jacket outlasts a cotton hoodie on the sideline. Plan for wet games in December, which averages about 7.4 inches of rain: a warmup jacket or windbreaker in school colors is worth adding to team orders.

Right after the first day of school: summer is short, and highs average under 65°F from October, so open the hoodie window in the first weeks of school, not once the cold arrives.
