Create custom t-shirts for your next mission trip. Use our mission-themed design templates or work with our artists to bring your message to life.
You’ve got a powerful message. A missions team with purpose. And a trip that will stick with people long after the plane lands.
So why settle for mission trip t-shirts that feel... forgettable?
At Sunday Cool, we believe mission trip gear should mean something. It’s more than a shirt or a hat—it’s about creating a wearable reminder of every moment, every connection, and every step of the journey.
Here’s how we help you make that happen:
What Makes a Great Mission Trip T-Shirt?
1. Custom Designs That Actually Inspire
We’ve already done the hard part. Our team of world class artists have created a full library of mission-themed templates, ready for you to customize with ministry-ready and message-driven designs.
Want something totally custom? Our artists can bring your vision to life from scratch, too!
2. Super-Soft Tees You’ll Actually Wear Again
Our shirts are known for one thing above all: softness. Printed on our Signature Super-Soft Tee with breathable, water-based ink, your team gets gear they’ll want to live in—whether they’re painting walls or leading worship.
3. Specialty Inks
Water Reveal Ink – Designs appear when wet
Sun Reveal Ink – Graphics that show up in sunlight
Puff Ink – For a dimensional, raised effect
These small touches make a big impact—and turn your shirt into a conversation starter.
4. Fast Turnaround. No Stress.
Need them quick? We’ve got you. Once you approve your design, your order ships within 72 hours after art approval. What most printers offer as a rush, we offer as our standard!
When to Use Custom Mission Trip T-Shirts
Mission trip tees aren’t just for the trip itself. Here’s how groups use them:
Pre-Trip Send-Offs – Help your team feel unified and excited
During Travel – Makes it easier to keep track of everyone (and easier to spot in airport security)
In the Field – Comfortable and practical for serving
Post-Trip Gifts – A wearable reminder of what God did through your team
Supporter Thank-Yous – Gift them to donors or prayer partners
FAQ: Mission Trip Shirts
Do I have to use a template? Nope! You’re welcome to start from scratch or mix and match design elements. Just send us your idea, and we’ll take it from there.
Can we use our trip verse or location? Absolutely. Every design is fully customizable—so you can add your destination, year, verse, or even your team members’ names if you want to get fancy.
Do you offer hats or other items too? Yes. Foam trucker hats, woothoops, stickers, note jotters—you name it. If you want to take your mission trip merch to the next level, we’ll build a package that fits your needs.
What shirt colors work best? Our most popular mission trip tees are in earth tones or heather brights (like Heather Sky or Heather Mint Julep), but you can choose from dozens of colors. We’ll help guide you based on your design and vibe.
Gear That Speaks Louder Than Words
Mission trips aren’t just a moment—they’re a movement. And your T-shirts should reflect that.
When you print with Sunday Cool, you’re not just getting great design or soft tees (though you are getting both). You’re getting gear that reflects the heart behind the mission.

"Your Logo Here" has never looked so good - let us guide the way.
Both tees are great—it just depends on the look you’re going for.
If your vibe is clean and classic, the Signature Super-Soft Tee is your go-to. If you're leaning relaxed, bold, and a little oversized, the Oversize Boxy Tee is calling your name.

Retro-inspired designs are having a moment, and they fit camp perfectly.
Think warm tones, vintage fonts, and throwback layouts that feel fun without trying too hard. These are the kinds of shirts students actually keep wearing.
For many churches, the most meaningful shirts are rooted in Scripture.
Whether it is a full verse or a short phrase, these designs carry the message of camp beyond the week itself. The key is keeping it readable and wearable.
Some of the most worn designs are the simplest ones. Subtle graphics, clean layouts, and intentional spacing often lead to shirts that feel more versatile.
