Custom apparel that actually looks good.
Rally Max is a custom apparel and design shop based in Ellsworth, Kansas. We’ve been doing this since 2019, formerly under a different name, and the business has grown right along with our customers. What started with individual custom apparel has turned into teamwear, spirit wear, business apparel, fundraisers, events, and organization orders, so Rally Max was really built around what people kept asking us for.
I’m Avery, the owner and designer behind Rally Max. I’m also a mom of five, and honestly, a lot of the direction this business has taken has come from my own family. As my girls have gotten more involved in sports, I’ve spent more and more time in gyms, at games, designing team shirts, making spirit wear, and paying attention to what athletes, parents, and fans actually want to wear. They’ve shaped Rally Max more than they probably realize. They get recruited behind the scenes from time to time, they have absolutely no problem giving me their opinions on a design, and their teams are a big reason athletic apparel and teamwear have become such a major part of what we do.
We keep things pretty simple. Our standard turnaround is one week, because I don’t think people should have to wait around for weeks wondering where their order is. We specialize in vibrant, full-color printing with access to more than 16,000 colors, and we’re generous with print size too. A good design shouldn’t be shrunk down just to save a few cents.
And we do a lot more than basic T-shirts. Hoodies, crews, polos, jerseys, performance wear, jackets, hats, workwear, bags, youth sizes, team apparel and more. If there’s a garment you have in mind, there’s a good chance we can get it. We offer local pickup in Ellsworth and shipping for customers outside the area.
The design side is a huge part of Rally Max, too. Before this, I spent more than a decade as an art educator, and I have both a bachelor’s degree in art and an MFA in painting. So when you work with us, you’re not just getting a logo dropped onto a shirt. We can help develop the idea, create the artwork, make changes, and get it to a place where the finished piece actually feels intentional and wearable.
Already have artwork? Great. Have a screenshot, an old shirt, a mascot, a rough sketch, or basically nothing besides “I kind of want something like this”? Also great. And if you only need the design and want to handle production yourself, we can do that too.
For teams, schools, businesses, organizations, fundraisers, and events, we can also set up a custom online ordering page. You send people the link, they choose what they want, and they place their own orders. No collecting sizes, chasing payments, building giant spreadsheets, or ending up with 47 shirts in your living room trying to remember who ordered what. We handle it.
As for the name, Rally is about bringing people together around something they care about: a team, school, business, organization, family, or community. Max comes from Maxwell, our family name. It felt fitting, because even though I’m the one doing most of the designing, Rally Max has definitely been shaped by our family, our community, and all the teams and organizations we’ve gotten to work with along the way.
Great design, full-color printing, one-week turnaround, and easy ordering.
You bring us the idea. We’ll handle the rest.
