Try transfer express for custom transfers and find someone to out source your embroidery. I never tell a customer no. I work out my garage and basement. I use that to keep my overhead down. I tell the customers this and they don't care where you produce it as long as the quality is good.

Yes, basically if you have a heat press, you can do similar jobs for clubs and groups with custom plastisol transfers. A screen printer will print the transfers and send them to you and you just press them to the shirts.

Some transfer companies have books of ready made logos that you can show to groups and clubs so they can add their name to them or customize the colors. They make it pretty easy.
