About Us
From small beginnings to a Legendary Reputation
Legendary Custom Merch began as a side-hustle for our founder, Mitch Teckman. He is a lifelong artist, tattooist, and local musician. Inspired by years of playing guitar in bands and creating custom tattoo designs, Mitch started screen printing T-shirts out of his garage to promote his tattoo Florida tattoo shop, Legendary Tattoos, and his tattoo style clothing brand, Legendary LTD.
What started as a creative art project quickly grew. Local business owners, bands, and tattoo clients began asking Mitch for custom merchandise, and the demand made it clear that it was time to build something bigger.
In 2015, Legendary Screen Printing & Design officially opened its doors in Tarpon Springs, Florida. What began with one artist and a small press has grown into a full-service apparel printing operation offering screen printing, embroidery, direct-to-film (DTF) printing and Laser Engraving run by a team of talented artists from diverse creative backgrounds

Custom Embroidery, Laser Engraving, and Direct-to-Film Printing in Tarpon Springs
From day one, we knew that custom printed apparel was one of the most effective ways to advertise a brand. After testing different promotional methods, we discovered that local T-shirt printing and giveaways created the strongest advertising response and the biggest impact.
When we looked for custom T-shirt printers in the Tampa Bay area, we quickly realized the apparel decorating market was missing two essentials: great customer service and fast turnaround times. That’s when Legendary Custom Merch was born.
What started with custom screen printing has now evolved into a full-service apparel shop, offering:
-
Custom Embroidery – Hats, polos, jackets, aprons, cloth bags, and even marine upholstery
-
Direct-to-Film Printing – Perfect for full-color, detailed designs in small to large runs
-
Laser Engraving – Ideal for leather patch hats, custom tumblers, glassware, and thoughtful gifts to give to employees and family members
For over a decade, T-shirt printing and graphic design have been our passion. We proudly work with small businesses, schools, sports teams, churches, clothing brands, and local events to create custom merchandise that makes a lasting impression.
At Legendary, we carry apparel from trusted brands like Gildan, Next Level, Bella+Canvas, Nike, Under Armour, and more—so you can choose the perfect fit, fabric, and style for your project.
