This is nice but almost no one does this - invite everyone

Yeah. I think there's something very weird about the sweatshirts

Wow. Yuck. Bar/Bat Mitzvahs are incredibly important days for Jewish people. They are not gift grabs - gifts are definitely not expected!
yes they are gift grabs fool.
Spoken by someone who knows nothing about what a Bar/Bat Mitzvah is.
The child spends years preparing, learning a foreign language with letters that are different than English, learns to read from the sacred scroll (the Torah written in Hebrew with no vowels), learns to lead a congregation full of adults, interprets torah/leads the sermon for that same congregation. That takes monumental effort, while attending school and participating in sports and other activities. It is a right of passage, not a gift grab

There are too many idiots in this world

Personalize them for each kid, not the party kid.

My kids are embarrassed to wear them after the event.

Totally agree with this. Not everyone gets a trophy.
We invited the whole class. Everyone who attended got a party favor. This is middle school and exclusion stings.

Not expected from the kids but definitely from adults.

Wouldn’t that happen if it was donated to goodwill?
+1. That’s where all of my kids’ party shirts went. They lost interest in them pretty quickly.

Are you comparing team uniforms to party gifts?

I was really surprised but my son & most of his friends did wear these until they outgrew them. Had the bar mitzvah boy's name, date etc.

Does it have a date? We're doing initials in cool font with the date (in smaller font) and nothing else (so nothing like "Adam's Bat Mitzvah!"). I want it to be something people will actually wear (not everyone, but at least some!).
No date. It took place in a unique place (think town/landmark/park) and it had just the place name and a small motif that related to it.

Every single sweatshirt or t-shirt I've seen from these has the date.
