This personalized custom middle school photo shirt has one photo in the middle and big white lettering above and below it, and you write both lines. Make it a sixth grade shirt, a rec-team name or a friend group’s inside joke.
The photo prints in grayscale for a vintage picture tee feel, on a tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie, or on a youth tee for smaller kids.
Ways to fill the two lines
- MIDDLE SCHOOL / SQUAD for a group of friends.
- BIKE CREW / SUMMER for the kid who never parks the bike.
- 6TH GRADE / DONE for the last week of May.
- SIXTH GRADE / CREW for the first day.
What’s in the sample?
The sample reads YOUR TEXT on top and HERE underneath, just marking where your words go. The photo, a grinning boy in a striped tee and backwards cap riding his bike down a neighborhood street, gets replaced by your kid.
Keep it head-and-shoulders or waist-up in everyday clothes; we don’t print swim, bath or leotard photos of children.
Do middle schoolers fit these sizes?
Usually, yes. An adult small measures 18.25 inches across the chest laid flat, a little narrower than a youth XL at 19.5 inches. Kids who are still on the small side can pick the Comfort Colors 9018 youth tee in XS to XL instead.
The Comfort Colors 1717 tee is garment-dyed 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton up to 4XL, so parents can match. The 1566 crewneck (S to 3XL) and 1567 hoodie (S to 2XL) are 80/20 fleece; the hoodie has a pouch pocket and lined hood.
There’s a Comfort Colors 6014 long sleeve too, in S to 3XL. Compare with a shirt they wear now on our size guide. Got a preschool sibling tagging along?
The Rabbit Skins 3326 toddler hoodie comes in 2T to 5/6T.

- Type the top line and the bottom line in the text boxes.
A shirt a middle schooler picks over the mall
- Middle schoolers won’t wear anything that looks like a kids shirt
- School spirit tees are the same design the whole grade already has
- Friend groups want matching tops but can’t agree on a store
At twelve, a shirt is about belonging to your crew without looking like you tried. Their photo sits in black and white between two big lines you write, like BIKE CREW over SUMMER, so the words are theirs and nobody else at school has the same one.
Completed example: SIXTH GRADE / CREW. The front then reads SIXTH GRADE, your kid’s photo, CREW.
Good gift for
Mostly a parent of a sixth or seventh grader, who’s watched their kid veto three shirts at the mall. The friend group has inside jokes, a new bike crew or a rec team, and the kid wants something nobody else at school owns.
Adult small fits most middle schoolers, so they can wear SIXTH GRADE CREW on the first morning.
His photo in the jersey goes between the team name and the season, which beats a store gift card.
Since he never parks the bike, BIKE CREW above his favorite ride photo actually means something to him.
Each kid uses the same two lines with their own picture, so they match without being identical.
If his kid picks the photo, Dad wears it to games and pickups with zero complaints.

Can it be a school spirit shirt?
Yes, with plain words. Crests, mascots and the official lettering a school puts on its teams belong to the school, so we can’t copy them. A grade, a nickname or GO TIGERS typed in our own lettering is fine for pep rally week.
It’s printed in the USA in 1 to 3 business days, then USPS takes 3 to 5 business days with tracking; see our shipping page.
Can I order one for each kid in the group?
Yes. Add each shirt separately and upload the right photo and lines for each.
How long can each line be?
Short lines read best at shirt size. One to three words per line is a good rule.
Could you put a pro player on it for my son?
No. Pro athletes, celebrities, rappers and public figures, plus team logos, league marks, brands and characters, are refused. Upload photos that belong to you. Middle school orders breaking this are canceled and refunded.
