Nevear is a leading custom apparel manufacturer

Clothing Manufacturer for Oklahoma City Brands

Nevear makes custom clothing and merch for Oklahoma City brands, teams and events, from a first run of 50 pieces per item to around 50,000 pieces in a single shipment. We produce through partner factories in the US, the UK, Pakistan and China, and deliver to Oklahoma City.

This page covers what matters for an Oklahoma City label: merch around the Women's College World Series and the 2028 Olympic events in the city, the rules on Olympic words and symbols, Oklahoma's sales tax permit, and duty on imports.

Why Oklahoma City brands work with Nevear

  • Small first runs. Our minimum is typically 50 pieces per item, so a team, club or event can have its own design. Read what MOQ means.
  • Merch that sells at events. Screen print, puff print, embroidery and DTG on tees, hoodies and caps.
  • Room to grow. Repeat orders can reach around 50,000 pieces in a single shipment, from the same approved sample.
  • A predictable timeline. Samples take 2–3 weeks, and bulk orders usually arrive 3–4 weeks from the order date, shipping included.

We make t-shirts, hoodies, sportswear, shorts, caps and hats and tracksuits for Oklahoma City labels.

Softball city: the WCWS and LA28

Devon Park is the home of the NCAA Women's College World Series, which Oklahoma City is set to host through 2035; the series is played each year in late May and early June. Softball and canoe slalom at the LA28 Olympic Games will also be held in Oklahoma City, at Devon Park and RIVERSPORT OKC, after the Los Angeles City Council approved the plan in March 2025.

Weeks from the start of sampling

One sample round shown. Each extra round adds 2–3 weeks, and your review time comes on top.

Fan, team and event merch has to be in hand before the first game, so for a late-May start, send your designs by early April.

Olympic words and rings are off limits

In the US, the Olympic & Paralympic Committee has the exclusive right to use the word "Olympic" and the five-ring symbol, and can sue anyone who uses them to sell goods without consent. Merch for 2028 should celebrate the city or the sport without them.

The same caution applies to college and team logos: they are trademarks, so print them only with the owner's permission.

Oklahoma sales tax and permits

Oklahoma's state sales tax is 4.5%, and cities add their own. In most of Oklahoma City the combined rate is 8.625%, of which 4.125% goes to the city; some areas have different rates.

If your business sells products, you need a sales tax permit from the Oklahoma Tax Commission. You register through the commission's online portal, which costs $20 plus a handling fee.

Made in the USA or imported: what you pay at the border

Example: cotton T-shirts (HTS 6109.10.00, 16.5% base duty) as of October 2026. Base duties differ by product.
