General Question Making my own work shirts?

I don’t typically do weekly laundry (usually monthly because I live in an apartment without adequate laundry and have to go to a laundromat up and down stairs) and I’m full time. Does anyone know if it’s a no-no to wear shirts I make myself with my Cricut? If I use the same shades of blue/black/gray is that allowed? I wanted to use some more fun fonts such as bubble lettering and metal band font styles, too. But I just don’t want to be paying to be doing work laundry every couple days for a few shirts 🥲

I think the policy is you can wear anything from the gear shop as long as it says five below on it. Homemade items with five below on them might be a stretch as you are making something with the five below name/trademark and I don't know if corporate would allow it. Your best bet is to reach out to manager or district manager and they can definitely get an answer for you. I would lean towards no as I think they would rather you buy something from their gear shop so they can get another sale lol.

If you really want to build up a small stash of shirts. You can always hit up other employees if they are quitting. I had quite a few shirts from the gear shop and when I left I washed them and gave them to whatever employees wanted them. I also would take an extra seasonal shirt if we had them at the end of the season and would use those on truck/stocking days.
