Still holding on to extra t-shirts, hoodies, or uniforms from last season? You’re not alone. Leftover merch is a common issue for coaches, but it doesn’t have to be wasted.
Here are 4 smart ways to repurpose it:
-
Welcome kits for new athletes: Include last season’s pieces in starter packs for new team members.
-
Limited edition flash sales: Create hype around “throwback” items with a short promo for parents or fans.
-
Prizes or rewards: Use items as incentives for team challenges, attendance, or fundraising participation.
-
Training gear: Let athletes use it as practice gear instead of competition wear.
Extra inventory isn’t a problem, it’s a resource. With a little creativity, you can give it new life.
