Mardi Gras is a real season on the Gulf Coast, not a single day, and shirts get worn from the first parade through Fat Tuesday. Purple, green and gold, printed on garments people will wear standing outside for four hours.
What is in this collection
- Classic Mardi Gras designs in the traditional purple, green and gold
- Krewe shirts, customizable with your krewe name and year
- Parade day tees for families and groups
- Funny Mardi Gras designs for adults
- Kids and matching family sets from infant bodysuits to adult 4XL
Krewe and group orders
Add a krewe name, a year, individual names or a title on the back at no extra charge. There is no per name setup fee, so a krewe of thirty with thirty different backs costs the same per shirt as thirty identical ones. Send the list with spellings already checked. We can bag and label by name for handout at a meeting.
For larger krewes we can also split the order into two runs: a first batch for the officers and committee who need shirts early, and a second closer to the parade once the final roster settles. Both runs match, because we keep the print file and the placement measurements.
Getting the colors right
Purple, green and gold on the wrong garment color is the most common problem here. Metallic gold ink does not exist in standard DTF, so gold reads as a warm yellow, which looks correct on black or purple and washed out on white. If you want actual metallic sparkle, use glitter prints for the gold elements. Black is the safest garment color for a three color Mardi Gras design, and we proof it before printing so you can see it.
What to wear it on
Late February on the Gulf Coast swings between 45 and 75 degrees, often in the same day. Long sleeves and lightweight hoodies outsell short sleeve tees for parade routes, and a hoodie with a krewe design on the back is the item people keep wearing after the season. Tanks only make sense for indoor balls.
Timing
Mardi Gras moves every year with Easter, so check the date rather than assuming. Order three weeks before your first parade, not before Fat Tuesday, because the season starts weeks earlier.
