Wild Thang are proud to have produced Giant and Spectacular Merchandise!

Wild Thang are very proud to have been the Official Merchandise Suppliers in conjunction with Culture Liverpool for the flagship Giant blockbuster highlight event of the year in celebration of the 10th year anniversary since European Capital of Culture 2008. Aptly named ‘Liverpool’s Dream’, it is expected to attract over a million visitors to Liverpool.


Andrew Dwerryhouse Wild Thang Managing Director commented: “Made In Liverpool for Liverpool, it’s not every day you get to produce the Official Merchandise for one of the world's greatest cultural street theatre events. Royal De Luxe are bringing the Giants back to Liverpool this weekend, once again creating one of the UK's largest and most spectacular street theatre cultural events. Having been involved in the trilogy of events in 2012, 2014 and now 2018, this is one of Wild Thang’s proudest merchandise projects to have been involved in this gigantic and prestigious event really does make our heart sing. I am just as proud of the Wild Thang team who put together the range and worked towards some very tight deadlines to get it on the shelves in time. Special thanks goes to Louise Henderson who worked directly on the project, pictured to the right showcasing some of the Official Merchandise.  I am sure many people will take giant strides towards this quality merchandise and memento's, lovingly produced by Wild Thang.”

 

The range consisted of printed t-shirts, limited edition hand screen-printed A2 posters and much more, available online.

GIANT & SPECTACULAR MERCHANDISE IN ACTION
GIANT & SPECTACULAR MERCHANDISE IN ACTION

With the Giants visit very nearly upon us we thought we would stay on theme with this fantastic #MerchandiseInAction image. We love it when people share their merchandise in action online & across social media as it really is a key driver for marketing the availability. Wild Thang think this is a great example of branded retail quality merchandise highlighting not only the availability of the merchandise but maybe just as importantly also becoming a direct advertisement for that upcoming event or brand.

Never underestimate the power of the photograph to capture the moment of any campaign & deliver real impact, think PR exposure, think the endless social media sharing on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook & Snapchat. We know merchandise at events is a critical part of income streams but we must never forget it’s also about growing awareness for the brand, event or person.

We hope you all have a giant, safe & spectacular weekend enjoying this once in a lifetime experience. Maybe it will also give you a little inspiration & please

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.
