Duty & Station Tees
Printed T-shirts using your approved garment styles, colors and department artwork. Specify chest and back layouts when requesting your quote.
Custom Apparel for Fire, Police & EMS
Coordinate station shirts, duty tees, embroidered polos and caps around your department's approved apparel program. Custom printing and embroidery for Arizona first responder teams, training groups and community events.
Start With Your Department's Approved Uniform Details
A station shirt, training tee and public outreach polo can each have a different purpose within the same department. Start with the garments and artwork your organization has approved, then build the order around those details. Sportswear Express in Mesa offers custom printing and embroidery for fire, police and EMS apparel requests across Phoenix and the East Valley.
Share the approved shirt style, color, fabric requirements and decoration locations with your quote request. Include department, station or unit artwork in the best original format available, along with any required lettering, logo dimensions and color references. Designate one reviewer to check spelling, placement and the final artwork before production.
Plan quantities by purpose as well as by size. Daily uniform replacements, an incoming training class and a community event may use different garments or graphics. Keeping those groups separate in the order helps the quote reflect what each group needs and gives you a clear reference when it is time to reorder.
Browse garment options to review with your department, or send your approved apparel specifications for a quote.
Apparel for the Station, Training and Community
Build each group of garments around its intended use and your department's approval process.
Embroidered Polos
Polos for administrative roles, presentations and approved uniform programs. Review the embroidered logo size and thread colors with your designated approver.
Training & Class Shirts
Coordinated shirts for training groups and class events. Organize quantities by class and size, with approved lettering and dates checked before printing.
Department Caps
Embroidered or patch caps in your selected style and color. Fine details may need an approved adjustment for a smaller decoration area.
Quarter-Zips & Sweatshirts
Branded layers for station, office or event use as allowed by your apparel policy. Match the logo treatment to the rest of your approved collection.
Community Event Apparel
Custom tees for open houses, awareness events and approved fundraisers. Keep event artwork and quantities separate from the regular uniform order.
Keep Department Orders Consistent
A complete specification gives purchasing staff and artwork reviewers the same starting point.
1. Gather the Specifications
Send approved garment styles, colors, size quantities, artwork and decoration requirements. Include your purchasing contact and the requested in-hand date.
2. Confirm the Details
Have your designated reviewer check the garment selection and artwork, including any station or unit identifiers. Confirm the quote and production schedule.
3. Document the Reorder
Reference the previous order when replacing garments or adding staff. Note any changes to artwork or policy so the next batch can be reviewed accurately.
First Responder Apparel Questions
What artwork should we provide for department apparel?
Provide your department-approved logo or design, required colors and lettering, and the intended decoration locations. Original vector artwork is useful for printing; embroidery may require digitizing. Identify who will approve the artwork and any adjustments before production.
Can one order cover different stations, units or employee groups?
Yes. Separate the garment styles, artwork variants, sizes and quantities for each group in your request. Different identifiers or decoration locations may affect setup and pricing, so include all versions when asking for a quote.
How do we keep replacement shirts consistent with an earlier order?
Send the previous order reference, selected garment style and color, approved artwork, and the new size breakdown. Current garment availability and production timing will be checked for the reorder. Any proposed substitutions or artwork changes should go through your department's reviewer.
