Merch Mob makes printed jerseys, practice shirts, and warmups and team hoodies for sports teams in Raleigh, NC, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to Raleigh. At 20%, the share of Raleigh residents under 18 sits just below the US figure of 22% (Census ACS, 2020-2024); expect adult rec leagues next to youth clubs, and quote both size ranges.

What Raleigh's weather means for sports teams
Raleigh sees about 47 days a year at 90°F or more, so a breathable practice tee per player covers the warm months, with a spare for tournament weekends in the heat. January highs average 52°F, so a team hoodie sees regular use in winter, and for the rest of the year a practice tee and a cap carry most sessions. With 7 months of tee weather (April to October, average highs of 70°F or more), short-sleeve practice kits do most of the work, and a long sleeve covers the weeks on either side. Expect about 57 nights a year at 32°F or below, enough that the earliest games in the coldest weeks start near freezing; team joggers over game shorts keep players warm until kickoff. September, the wettest month, brings about 5.7 inches of rain, and the rest of the year is wet too, so game kits get soaked often: choose polyester jerseys over cotton and add a water-resistant bench jacket.
