    CLUB SPORT VARIATION LOGOS

    GuidelinesX If selling apparel in anyway, can’t use any WCU logos, marks or brands.• Uniforms, warm up/practice, team and fundraising attire are classified as apparel.• The Associate Director of Intramural and Club Sports must approve all apparel designs and purchases.• Follow all branding, logo and design requirements (branding.wcu.edu).• Purchases can only be made through your club’s account and the entire purchasing amount must be in your account before approval is given.• Personal purchases cannot be made.• Apparel must be billed and shipped to the Campus Recreation Center.• This process takes time, so plan in advance.• Failure to follow these guidelines may result in delay of apparel, payment with personal funds and no reimbursement, reduced budget allocation for following year, lower priority on practice times, etc.

    Funding Classification• Allocation - Apparel is property of WCU and needs to be inventoried at the end of every academic year• Revenue – Apparel may be the property of individuals or classified as WCU property• Fundraising - Comes from revenue account. Apparel can be for team or supporters. Must have fundraised the cost of the apparel before purchasing. It is not considered fundraising until the money raised exceeds amount spent on the apparel.

    The Entire Process• Start a design concept. An outside vendor or the Student Affairs graphic designer can assist you with creating a design.• Get initial price quotes of design and apparel from various vendors for price comparison.• Send designs to Associate Director of Intramural and Club Sports. Some changes may be requested until final design draft.• After final design is approved and all money is in the club’s account, then can start the final purchase and printing process.• A final quote from the vendor is required. Quote should have vendor name, billed to CRW, item description, quantity, sizes and itemized total. The university is tax-exempt.• Once the quote is received, a purchase order (PO) (takes a week or two) will be set up with the vendor or if online source a university credit card transaction (instant) can be made.• Once PO is received, approval is given to begin the printing process.• Once apparel is received, we will notify you to pick up and a final invoice will be requested from the vendor.• The original quote must match the final invoice.• Enjoy your new apparel!
