Show Your Sheffield Pride!

Hello, Families!

We’d like to offer our popular Sheffield Gear Store again this year and give you the opportunity to purchase sweatshirts, shirts and winter pom-pom hats that feature our Sheffield logo. All purchases will be made through a secure online store where you can view and pay for items.

To run the store we must have a minimum number of orders. We’re hoping to spread the word and determine if there is enough interest this year.

If you would like to purchase any of the items listed below please contact Friends of Sheffield at friendsofsheffield@gmail.com by February 1, 2021.

Items are embroidered or printed at Silver Screen Design, in Greenfield, and will be shipped directly to your home. (Prices shown below are from the 2020 gear store and are subject to change.)
