Off to College!

Off to College!

For those of you who are not familiar with our story, sockprints was founded by two soccer moms in 2009 on the sidelines of a soccer field while watching our daughters play.  Week in and week out as the girls were competing on the field, we were brainstorming and building our business venture.  Just as our sockprints business has grown, so have our daughters and their aspirations of playing collegiate soccer.  While my daughter still has another year in high school, I’m thrilled my business partner’s daughter is off to play college soccer at Pepperdine University! 

Sending her to college without some custom socks wouldn’t be very cool, so we came up with these gems.  Good luck in the classroom and on the soccer field!  Go Pepperdine Waves!

It’s been a fun summer hearing about our friends’ kids and their post high school plans.  While some are off to play collegiate sports, others are getting ready to go through Sorority Recruitment (Rush - as us old timers still call it).  As I gladly wrote letters of recommendation for some young ladies, I recalled many fond collegiate sorority memories.  Best wishes to these women as they embark on Greek life!  I’m hoping they keep in touch and let me know which sorority they joined so I can send them some personalized sorority socks to say congrats!  We’re an official Greek licensed vendor for 10 national sororities and we even have our own sorority sockprints website. 

For those die-hard college football fans out there, custom socks are the perfect way to cheer for your team!  Create your own fan wear socks to wear in front of your big screen TV or ship a set to your college student.  Everyone loves getting a care package and to make your gift giving hassle free, we will ship your sock creations directly to your favorite college football fan.

  

Back to School

It's already the end of August, and we all know that means Back to School…

Shopping for books, school supplies, backpacks, lunch boxes, clothes, shoes and socks (of course) and more!  Completing forms, forms and more forms (registration, emergency contacts, lunch orders, PTA memberships – all in triplicate!)  Getting kids registered for fall sports and after school programs.  Figuring out carpool and so much more!  We already miss summer and it's not even over yet!

While sockprints may not be able to help you with carpool, we can help you create some cool new custom socks for your upcoming Back to School activities.  Take a peek at these new Back to School ideas.

In Southern California we are gearing up for a lineup of fall sports including football, soccer, volleyball, and cross country track.  Our socks are great for teams and fans alike to wear throughout the season.  We can personalize each pair of socks with player numbers and your team or school logo.  Why not print the team fight song on the side of a knee high?

Heading off to college?  We've got lots of ideas for personalized socks that are perfect for everyone from the freshman to PHD candidate!
