MERCHANDISE IN ACTION BBC CHILDREN IN NEED !

Well this just simply had to be this week’s Wild Thang Merchandise. It was a record breaking year for BBC Children In Need this year raising over £50 million which is simply incredible. Congratulations to all those who participated and all those people that gave up their time & got involved for such a worthy cause.

I can’t think of a better example of a charity campaign that has taken merchandise to their heart and placed it centrally to all their fundraising campaigns. It’s great to see branded t-shirts & various other merchandise in virtually every social media interaction but also being retailed across the UK.

We should never underestimate the power of the photograph to capture the moment of any campaign or event & deliver real impact, think PR exposure,  driving endless social media sharing on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook & Snapchat. Hopefully you can really start to see the benefits of branded merchandise and print really making a big big difference .

 We just love showcasing merchandise in action to give you inspiration for your next campaign. Please remember we are here to help with expert branded clothing, merchandise and print advice!

WILD THANG BRANDING GEEK OF THE WEEK WANNA FEEL LIKE ROCKY ?
WILD THANG BRANDING GEEK OF THE WEEK WANNA FEEL LIKE ROCKY ?

Do you want to feel like Rocky? Then simply wear a hoody! Did you know hoodies, hooded tops & hooded sweatshirts have been around a lot longer than you think, documented as part of men's and women's wear for centuries. The word "hood" is said to come from the Anglo-Saxon word "hōd", the garment's style and form can be traced back to Medieval Europe when the normal clothing for monks included a hood called a cowl attached to a tunic or robes and a chaperon or hooded cape was very commonly worn by any outdoor workers. Its appearance was known in England at least as early as the 12th century, possibly an import with the Norman conquest of England. The modern day hooded sweatshirt or hoodie was born of modest origins. Champion Products, which began as the Knickerbocker Knitting Company in 1919, claims to have made the first hooded sweatshirt. Originally a sweater mill, Champion began making sweatshirts in the early 1930's once it developed methods to sew thicker underwear material. They are now a mainstay of street, sports, varsity, fashion & casual uniforms. We print many many 10,000's each year for a variety of organisations & promotions, there is a vast range of colours, styles, qualities available at Wild Thang, all of which can be embroidered or screen printed. In my opinion, the iconic use of a hoodie in the Rocky film may well have been the catalyst for the huge modern day popularity. Everyone loves an underdog that achieves their dreams, so I say let’s all start wearing hoodies and keep on dreamin! Remember we are here to help with expert branded clothing, merchandise.
