Work with your print supplier to offer premium-weight blanks (better fabric, better construction), limit the color palette, and make the house logo a single, subtle placement. The price goes up, but the perceived value goes way up. A $3 t-shirt gets thrown away; a $35 premium tee with a small embroidered logo becomes part of the uniform.
