Given its own tab
The league keeps Apparel as a top-level item in its menu, alongside the schedule, standings, teams and FAQ.
For a league where jerseys and hats are arranged between a player and his manager rather than centrally, having one place the whole league buys from is what keeps twenty-six clubs from looking like twenty-six different leagues. High Cheese carries a gear shelf on the league and every team page, so the shirt a new draftee needs sits next to the roster that just picked him.
