Summer is here and everyone is taking the party outside. So lather on the sun screen and pull on the new Posi-UV Pro tee. These high-performance tees have a soft, matte hand and deliver exceptional UV protection at a UPF rating of 50. At 4 oz these 100% polyester tees will provide you with shirt that is breathable and moisture wicking to keep you cool during the long hot days. Planning on screen printing these shirts?

Trend Alert! Hats with Leather Patches
Back in the day all the classic trucker caps sported patches. And of course what is old is new again. The patch trend on hats is making a big come back.
Leather and sublimated options add a fun new twist to hat patches.
Without sounding like a broken record (which we are going to anyway…) hats are probably the BEST form of advertising. And with these new patch options you can really stand out from the crowd.
Need some ideas on how you can use this trend with your brand, project, or upcoming event? Listed below are some ideas to help get your creative mind cranking away.
- Design a new twist on your logo and run the hats as a “limited edition”. If people know these won’t always be available they are more likely to purchase it as soon as they see it.
- Want a big crowd at your event? Use the same ‘limited edition” concept and let everyone know that the only way they can score the hat is to attend the event.
- Use them as employee incentives or to mark milestones. For example you just produced your millionth widget. Get everyone a hat to mark the occasion and show your appreciation of a job well done.
- Don’t forget family events like reunions or weddings or even milestone birthdays.

Venue Home Plate Polos
It is Spring! Spring training has started! And in honor of spring training we are highlighting the Venue Home Plate polo by New Era.
Trying to find the balance between a not too expensive but well made polo that your crew can wear and look good in all spring and summer can be a challenge. New Era products, we find, fits that niche well.
These polos are moisture wicking (63/37 cotton/poly pique) and at 5.6 oz make the transition from a cool office to the summer heat nicely. The polos feature embossed New Era taped neck and side vents and engraved buttons to dress them up a bit. Both mens and womens style have drop tail hems…
and the ladies style come with a longer 6 button placket and an inverted back pleat.
The Venue Home Plate polos will hold up under heat for heat transfers or screen printing and will look equally nice with an embroidered logo.
Looks like New Era has your bases covered for your uniform needs.
Break Out of the Uniform Rut!
” A GOOD UNIFORM IS A STATEMENT. It tells your employees they’re a part of a team, tells your clients what to expect, and most importantly, a good uniform tells your story.”
Wish we would could claim credit for that statement. The credit goes to the folks who bring you some of your favorite brands like Nike, New Era, and Bella + Canvas. Uniforming is their business and they do it well.
Modern companies are leaving behind the “one size fits all” approach. They are doing away with the stiff, stuffy, and restrictive pieces and replacing them with pieces that fit today’s lifestyles. Polos with moisture wicking properties and tees with a soft feel and flattering shape are the new norm. Take a look at some of these ideas and see how by mixing up tried and true pieces you end up with a fresh look.
By picking one or two colors that compliment your brand these ideas show that you can mix a polo shirt with heels, a 1/4 zip with a tie, and pull off a look that will work across the diversity of generations that make up your work force.
