Use comedic or creative pictures to liven up your saxophone sectional shirts. For example, if your school's mascot is the blue devil, you could include three saxes in a line on the back of the shirt, each one looking like a blue number six. For a more traditional shirt, create a picture that displays, on the left side of the shirt, a musical staff, which turns into a saxophone as it moves toward the right.
Use the words "sax," "saxophone" or "reed" to create pun-filled slogans for your saxophone section. For example, write the word "Saxy" across the front of shirts for a college-level saxophone section. Remember to make the pun appropriate to the age level of the saxophone section. Middle-school students might not understand complex or racy puns, while college students might get angry when forced to wear childish slogans.
You might prefer to decorate your saxophone section in classy shirts that reflect the more serious mood of jazz or classical bands. For these shirts, focus on neutral colors (black, gray or tan) and incorporate metal pins, collars or long sleeves. For graphics, use simple color schemes (one or two tones) depicting a realistic image of the woodwind or pictures of famous saxophone players. For an intellectual version of the classy shirt, incorporate other languages' versions of the word "saxophone," such as Chinese's "sakeguan."
If your school or organization celebrates artistic innovation over tradition, then consider creating a strange and interesting section shirt. For these shirts, don't just focus on color and symbol, but on material as well. For example, you might embroider each shirt with a patchwork saxophone, or create a saxophone decoration with glued-on reeds.
