Over time, the merch trend has reached us as well, making it more and more common to come across apparel branded with a school or university logo. Why you should create your own merch?<\/strong> <strong>We know a few reasons!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-flat ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/en\/why-does-your-school-college-or-organization-need-its-own-merch\/#community-building\" >Community building<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/en\/why-does-your-school-college-or-organization-need-its-own-merch\/#building-prestige-and-advertising\" >Building prestige and advertising<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/en\/why-does-your-school-college-or-organization-need-its-own-merch\/#a-keepsake-for-years-to-come\" >A keepsake for years to come<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/en\/why-does-your-school-college-or-organization-need-its-own-merch\/#merch-as-a-reward\" >Merch as a reward<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/en\/why-does-your-school-college-or-organization-need-its-own-merch\/#promotion-during-competitions-and-external-events\" >Promotion during competitions and external events<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"community-building\"><\/span>Community building<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The atmosphere of togetherness and cooperation does not have to refer only during sports games or competitions. Wearing university or school colors even on a daily basis reminds students that they are one team and can rely on each other. It definitely helps to build an engaged community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to achieve such an effect, pupils or students must be happy to wear their hoodies, T-shirts or other clothing with logos &#8211; so they must match their tastes. The best way to guarantee this is to involve them in the process of designing the merch and to think about what works in terms of design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"building-prestige-and-advertising\"><\/span>Building prestige and advertising<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stylish and well-made logo clothes show that the university or school cares about its image and appreciates its community. The students wearing them advertise their schools in a natural, unobtrusive way and even provoke conversation about their school and college days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind, however, that the logo and name of the school are not the only things that can be placed on such clothing. A hoodie or T-shirt can feature a slogan, values, sports and academic achievements, and even the names of the most outstanding graduates of a particular school or university.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/en\/personalization-options-in-merchup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">There are as many possibilities for personalization as there are ideas!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bluzup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bluzy-uczelniane-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.merchup.com\/en\/case-study\/xiv-lo-staszica-w-warszawie-x-merch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See our realization for XIV Staszic High School in Warsaw<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"a-keepsake-for-years-to-come\"><\/span>A keepsake for years to come<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A hoodie with the logo of a school, university or organization is a great gift for graduates, who will remember their school days for years to come, every time they put it on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, for this to be possible, the clothing must be of good quality, which is why at MerchUp we only use durable materials that stand the test of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out what our production looks like in a local sewing room:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Jak wygl\u0105da produkcja odzie\u017cy w lokalnej szwalni? | MerchUp\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AzZGUSxB_7A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"merch-as-a-reward\"><\/span>Merch as a reward<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Branded apparel can be used to reward students for academic or sports achievements or for achieving a certain grade point average at the end of the year.
