We love sharing random and interesting facts about products we supply. This week we are focusing on the garment that everyone probably has in their wardrobe. Did you know that history states the original sport of Polo originated in India and was then taken up in England by returning soldiers. The Polo playing shirt used to be a long sleeved shirt & was the first collared garment to have a buttoned-down collar, which polo players invented in the late 19th century to keep their collars from flapping in the wind. Brooks Brothers's early president, John Brooks, noticed this while at a polo match in England and began producing such a shirt in 1896.

They have obviously since lost their button down collar & gained a buttoned placket but none of their popularity as a sports and casual leisure or uniform garment essential with Ralph Lauren’s iconic polo shirt probably taking the top spot in popularity, linking the original history with its modern day equivalent. Finally when it comes to the important logo or brand aspect did you know the reason why branding is virtually always on the left chest of a garment? It’s so when people shake hands the #branding is still on show, because if it was on the right side it would be hidden. It’s also great that this sport has opened up the doors to every gender so we thought we would feature some younger female polo players that are just as tough as their male counterparts.

We have a great range of polo shirts both female and male available in many different qualities, styles, material and sizes, all of which can be printed or embroidered.

POLO SHIRTS

We simply love it when people share their great branded merchandise in action on social media especially when the photograph really pops. Wild Thang think this is a great example of how branded merchandise is creating the best possible exposure and helping them stand out from the crowd by raising brand awareness through a coordinated physical branding approach. This was actually a charity midnight walk aptly named the ‘Liver Bird’s Midnight Walk’ for the Roy Castle Foundation with every participant receiving a t-shirt & can anyone spot the great branded curved frame exhibition backdrop.

Never underestimate the power of the photograph to capture the moment of any campaign, event or product & deliver real impact, think PR exposure, think the endless social media sharing on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook & Snapchat. We know that its critical for any charity organisation to raise awareness to help drive exposure that will hopefully then in turn create that end donation.

We hope this gives you a little inspiration to create some world class merchandise for yourself and really help your brand, company or organization stand out from the crowd.
