Ya know how ya go to some tournaments and their shirts are really great, but you just wish there was a bit more selection? Or maybe, if they weren't so pricey, you could buy 2?

Ya, we get that. The St. Louis Arch Invitational, presented by The Fabric Co, has you covered!

Introducing our OFFICIAL 2026 Arch Invitational shirts!!

These dye-sub jerseys fit loose and comfy and are made of a super-breathable fabric.

These designs are bold, like our city, and have been carefully and artistically crafted with intention and purpose to reflect the diversity that is St. Louis.

Red White & Blue / St. Louis Proud
This shirt bears our iconic City of St. Louis flag done in Pride colors on the sleeve, with our logo on the front. On the back, you'll see a comic-book style depiction of our river-front and skyline, featuring the iconic St. Louis Arch. If you look closely, you can see a subtle gray geometric pattern, too.

Gold & Gray
This Art-Deco inspired jersey features a highly stylized version of our logo in a kind of 3-D, with the skyline pulled out to be across the bottom of the shirt and with more art-deco elements and shapes on the back. This shirt speaks to the iconic architectural style that gave birth to legends like Frank Lloyd Wright, and that featured the world's first (and still standing) skyscraper!

Purple & Gold
This design leans heavily into our roots as a city that was famously once part of France! Featuring Neapolitan design elements mixed with Mardi Gras coloring, this jersey is pure St. Louis history.

Red & Gold
After the Louisiana Purchase was completed, St. Louis, firmly in the hands of the U.S., starting shifting its identity to an industrial and shipping powerhouse. We became known as "Brick City." This shirt celebrates that heritage and pays homage to another architectural element for which our city is famous - stained glass.

Shirt of Many Colors
This design features our logo on the front, and on the back, our pride-filled city's skyline with bold, vibrant colors that pay homage to our deeply rooted Q***r history and rich arts and cultural heritage. After all, this is the home of Tina Turner and Muddy Waters, along with q***r icons Josephine Baker and Tennessee Williams. No muted tones here.

These shirts will be available for purchase ONLINE ONLY and orders must be made by September 11. Shirts will be made available for pick-up at tournament registration.

These awesome shirts are just $30 each.

The St. Louis Arch Invitational , presented by The Fabric Co, has made a donation to the GSWS Columbus Host Committee.

Normally we wouldnt post about this, but we felt it important to share because we hope to encourage others to do so, too.

When we got news earlier this week Columbus had severe weather that left damage throughout the city and region, it hit home here in St. Louis.

We know a thing or two about tornados touching down in the city and leaving behind lots of devastation.

We felt it important then to support the GSWS Columbus Host Committee in our small way.

We know economics are tough right now. If you can join us to support their efforts, in light of this recent challenge, they will appreciate it!
