    The Colorful Notch Tee

    • 8 min read

    When looking for styles for your sorority's next tee, do you ever find yourself stuck looking at the same options? Styles that every other chapter gets, in the same boring couple of color options. Well, it's time to step out of the box! Introducing a new Emerson Coast exclusive - the colorful notch tee! You'll no longer need to worry about a neighbor sorority wearing the same t-shirt with this 100% custom tee!

     

    Let's learn all about this brand new tee - from all the color options, how to narrow down which color is best for your event, and what designs will pop on this bold style!

     

    Colorful Notch Tee

    If you browse the Emerson Coast website, you'll see pretty quickly how much we love the notch tee. It's a simple style, but the slight notch in the neckline makes all the difference when it comes to accessorizing. The only down side about the classic notch tee? It only comes in black and white. Which, don't get us wrong, we LOVE. But sometimes you want something a little more bold, ya know?

     

    That's where the colorful notch tee comes in handy! It's the same cotton blend fabric, has a relaxed fit, and is extremely lightweight and breathable. The notch is slightly deeper than the classic notch tee, but not enough to where it feels like a v-neck. It's also flowier than the classic notch, making it easy to style without feeling too stiff.

     

    Since each shirt is made to order, the stitching is impeccable, allowing you to rock this tee for years to come. Since they're custom made, however, the production time is longer than normal. You'll get your tees in 9 weeks, so plan ahead to get this unique style!

    Earthy Greens

    When picking your perfect color tee, it can be hard with SO many options! To help you narrow it down, we've chosen some of our fav colors to highlight. There's still 43 color options, but here's 11 of the most popular notch tee shades.

     

    First up - the greens! We've highlighted three of our favs - Kelly, Olive, and Avocado. Starting off with a classic, Kelly is a true lucky green. The fabric has a slight heathered effect, breaking up the bright green just a little bit. Since it's such a timeless green, Kappa Delta, Alpha Epsilon Phi, and Delta Zeta can rock this shirt to stick with their sorority colors.

     

    Olive sticks with the heather look, but darker than Kelly. The muted dark green makes this the most neutral green option. A bright white design will pop on this earthy tee, especially if it has a boho feel to it. Make this olive shirt extra dreamy by putting this moon & stars design on it!  

     

    Finally, Avocado! This is the most unique green option, looking brighter and more yellow than the other two. It does look very similar to the inside of an avocado, hence the name. This tee would be a bold Shamrock Week shirt, or work as a colorful PR tee. If none of these options are the right shade of green, no worries! We have four more greens to choose from, all with a different look. People will be green with envy when they see your chapter rocking these custom notch tees!

     

    Girly Brights

    Go more girly with one of these fun options! Hot Pink, Ballet, and Red make up our warm toned notch tee options. Hot Pink is the most bold out of all our favs, catching your eye immediately. It's more of a berry, showing up darker in person. In the sun it's vibrant, though, making it perfect for a chapter wide event! Phi Mu especially could rock this pink tee for Recruitment or a Philanthropy event tee.

     

    Go a little more soft with Ballet! If you've seen the customizable Colorblock Ringer, you know how much we love this shade. It's the perfect neutral that still adds a pop of color. It's more muted than your classic light pink, giving us more dusty rose vibes. This is one of the most versatile options - colorful enough for a basic white design, but still plain enough to handle vibrant inks if that's what you're going for.

     

    Finally, Red! This is another bright classic, working with SO many sorority colors! Like Kelly, the fabric is slightly heathered. This effect makes this style great for a vintage, classic camp design. Alpha Chi Omega,Alpha Omicron Pi, and Alpha Gamma Delta can rock their classic sorority colors with this tee, just to name a few. Go full Chi O by adding yellow accents, or keep it chill with basic white script.

     

    Cool Pastels

    Next up, the cool toned tees! These chill colors - Turquoise, Lavender, and Cloud - are great for fun Spring merch or events! Turquoise is the most vibrant out of the bunch, looking like the clear Caribbean water. It's brighter in person, catching your eye immediately. This would be the perfect style for a Party Like Its Your Bid Day design or Zeta Tau Alpha PR tee!

     

     Lavender keeps it a little more muted, looking a little darker in person. The heathered fabric, however, keeps it feeling light and breezy. This light purple style is great for Sigma Sigma Sigmaor Sigma Kappa, putting a pastel spin on their sorority colors. Keep with the pastel theme with a light pink design, looking like a Home Sweet Home Bid Day Tee! For Recruitment or general PR, a simple white design is always a safe go to.

     

    Finally, Cloud! This shade resembles more of a stormy cloud, looking darker in person. It's still a light blue though, staying on the fence between pastel and a medium blue. This style also has a heathered effect, adding a retro look. Tri Delta, Alpha Delta Pi, and Delta Gamma, among other, can use this style to show off their letters for Recruitment or a Sisterhood!

     

    Yellow Neutrals

    Yellow Neutrals

     

    Finally, the yellows! Both of these colors show some color while keeping it low key. Out of all the color options, Cream is the most true neutral. If you want more than white but don't want to be too bold, Cream is the shade for you! It has a slight yellow hue to it, looking like a vintage ivory. We love pairing this shade with light pastel designs, leaning into the retro vibe.

     

    Light Yellow is a true pastel - think if Easter was a shirt. The yellow is bright, but isn't a highlighter shade. It's light enough to rock for a Candyland Bid Day, or add some red for a Chi Omega PR tee! This is one of our fav styles for the Summer, especially with its lightweight fabric and relaxed fit. If you're looking for a more classic yellow, Bright Yellow or Sunshine are some perfect options!

     


    Works For Any Event

    Works For Any Event

     

    Okay, so you know how many color options we have for this custom tee. But where will you wear it?? Like the classic notch tee, this style is one of the most versatile options out there. It's as basic as a plain tee, but with a fun twist. The notch at the neckline and rainbow array of color make this style stand above the rest. Whatever event you choose to rock this style at, you DEFINITELY won't be accidentally matching with another sorority.

     

    Since these custom tees are made 100% from scratch, it takes a while to make them perfect. The average turnaround time is 9 weeks, so this style is perfect for events down the road. Since it requires so much planning in advance, Bid Day and Recruitment are the most popular events for the notch tee. The wide range of colors makes it super easy to match your theme or color scheme! You can keep it neutral with Ballet or Cream, making a perfect basic for a sweet Recruitment tee. For Bid Day, go bold with Coral or Purple! Whatever you theme, we guarantee there's a notch tee color to make it pop even more!

     

    It doesn't end at the big events! The colorful notch tee is great for Philanthropy tabling or a large event. Match your philanthropy's color for a bright look. For example, Zeta can rock a Pink notch tee for their next event that supports Breast Cancer Awareness. Since it's such a basic flowy style, you won't have to worry about people feeling uncomfortable or stiff.

     

    Finally, some good ole fashioned PR! Sometimes you need to make merch for your chapter just because. The colorful notch tee can be switched up for any sorority color scheme, making it the easy choice! Order over the summer and have them in time for New Member activities in the Fall! A notch tee is the perfect basic to give out to the chapter, but it'll be more fun than the plain tee. You'll have to get used to people constantly asking you. "Where'd you get that tee?"

     


    Okay, wow. So you can do just about anything with the colorful notch tee. You won't have to settle anymore for a tee that every other sorority has. Made 100% from scratch, your chapter will stand out for sure with this style!
