Our New MUSTANG PRIDE online store is OPEN!
SVHS is thrilled to announce that our new
“authorized and official” Mustang Pride Clothing is available in all sizes, dozens of styles, and with hundreds of great designs!
To provide a strong and cohesive Mustang brand with quality products and clothing that are perfect for your needs, we have partnered with Sideline Stores. Sideline is a high-quality online provider for sports teams and schools across the country. We have also designed two new Mustang logos that are uniquely ours and that reflect our students, school and sports. Ms. Wetherbee, along with research & sketching by her graphic design class, and approvals by groups of students & faculty has created two new logos embedded with Mustang Pride!

The store was created for individual or small quantity purchases. You can select the brand of clothing you prefer and match it with your preferred logo and theme. Don’t miss the many options within each item. Sideline returns 10% of all profits back to SVHS in the form of credits which will allow us the ability to buy coach, staff or team gear free of charge. A small sampling of the gear is available in the SVHS front office display.

Soon, we will also have a second partnership with BSN Sports which will use the same consistent Mustang logos, typefaces, themes and colors, but BSN will sell the clothing in bulk and team quantities for lesser prices.

We look forward to hearing your thoughts and seeing you in your New Mustang Pride Gear!
