By Steven Richmond, Olathe Schools Regional Chair for Father’s Club

Time to get Your Father’s Club Gear!

There’s something powerful about wearing the name of a group you believe in. Whether it’s a baseball cap on the weekend, a sharp polo at a community meeting, or a warm pullover at your child’s Friday night football game, apparel is more than clothing—it’s a visible sign of belonging. Father’s Club DADS have asked: How can I get Father’s Club gear that looks great, fits my budget, and arrives on time?

The answer has arrived. Beginning this fall, Father’s Club is proud to announce the launch of its brand-new apparel webstore in partnership with Olathe T-Shirt & Trophy. This store offers hats, polos, button-downs, vests, sweatshirts, outerwear, and more—all designed to help DADS, families, and friends represent Father’s Club with pride.

This new partnership represents more than just convenience. It reflects Father’s Club’s deep commitment to the local COMMUNITY and a shared vision with Olathe T-Shirt & Trophy: to provide quality products, support meaningful relationships, and strengthen the connections that hold our COMMUNITIES together.

A Smarter Solution: Partnering with Olathe T-Shirt & Trophy

Providing Father’s Club gear has been challenging in the past. The previous store was set for one-off individual orders making it difficult to satisfy minimum order quantities and timely delivery of small orders.

Recognizing these issues, Father’s Club sought out a trusted local partner. The solution was found just down the road at Olathe T-Shirt & Trophy, a business built on friendship, hard work, and decades of service to the COMMUNITY.

Why Father’s Club Gear Matters

The heart of Father’s Club has always been about Just Showing Up. Whether it’s supporting schools, encouraging DADS to step into their role, or walking alongside others in times of challenge, the mission is simple: DADS on a mission to be intentional and Just Show Up.

Wearing Father’s Club gear extends that mission in three ways:

1. Visibility with Purpose – When people see hats, polos, or pullovers with the Father’s Club name, it sparks curiosity. Conversations begin. The mission spreads. Visibility helps connect DADS who might otherwise feel alone.
2. Unity of Identity – In schools, neighborhoods, or at COMMUNITY events, Father’s Club apparel helps create a sense of belonging. A DAD who wears the logo signals to other DADS: We are in this together.
3. Support through Sales – Each purchase goes beyond personal benefit. A portion of sales from every webstore cycle goes directly to supporting Father’s Club initiatives, fueling programs and activities that strengthen families and COMMUNITY.

By working together, Father’s Club and Olathe T-Shirt & Trophy created a webstore model that solves the problems of the past:

• Order Windows – Instead of scattered orders, the webstore opens during set periods a few times throughout the year.
• Consolidated Fulfillment – By grouping orders into order windows, the store easily meets supplier minimums and keeps production on schedule.
• Countdowns for Clarity – Each webstore has a visible countdown clock, ensuring no one misses the ordering deadline.

Though not on demand throughout the year. This partnership means a variety of quality products, fast turnaround, and reliable delivery—all while keeping business local.

Apparel Options for Every Dad

One of the best parts of the new store is its variety. From budget-friendly basics to higher-end outerwear, there’s something for every dad and supporter. Options include:

• Headwear – Hats, beanies, and caps perfect for game days and outdoor events.
• Polos & Button-Down Shirts – Professional styles for work or volunteer meetings.
• Outerwear – Vests, pullovers, and sweatshirts designed for comfort and durability.

How the New Webstore Works

Webstore Launch Date : Thursday, October 30^th to Sunday, November 30^th

Here’s what you can expect when shopping the Father’s Club webstore:

• Order Window – Each store is open for one month, closing on a Thursday at end of day.
• Fulfillment Timeline – After the store closes, expect a 12-business-day lead time for items to be processed, produced, and shipped.

This cycle ensures that if you miss one ordering period, another opportunity is just around the corner.

Beyond Apparel: Custom Event Gear

Thanks to Olathe T-Shirt & Trophy’s capabilities, Father’s Club now has access to custom t-shirts for special events. Whether it’s a fundraiser, a school partnership, or a volunteer initiative, unique designs can be created for group orders. Special event items require advance notice and design approval.
