Promotional Sports Polo Shirts – Helping Your Clients To Keep Healthy

Promotional Sports Polo Shirts make great business gifts because they tie in the two strands of promotional giveaways with health. A company who receives anything that can encourage their staff to be more active and therefore more healthy can’t go wrong. The branding of these promotional textiles is a very important aspect because although printed polo shirts look OK they can never compete with the embroidered sport polo shirts. The reason is that people simply associate embroidered promotional clothing with a touch of class.

There are lots of different types of sports promo clothing however we are going to concentrate on the most popular items of this genre. At one time there was basically very little choice, it was either cotton promotional polo shirts or nothing. Once fabrics like nylon and Polyester started to appear in the market things changed. There is quite a difference between these two fabrics let alone the large range of new ones that are now available.

Let’s take two examples of where different fabric might be used. If we start off with a sport such as badminton or even 5 a side football. Both these sports are usually played in-doors where the temperature of the arena is carefully controlled to ensure maximum comfort. I such an environment printed cotton polo shirts would be great because they  tend to be thinner and absorb perspiration much more effectively. On the other hand were we to look at sports that are played outdoors such as hockey for example things are different. With hockey being predominantly a winter sport most training is done outside so a much thicker promotional polo would suit the players better. Also with contact sports such as rugby a poly/cotton polo shirt would take the bangs and knocks much better.

The newer fabrics on the market such as Cooltext are designed to allow  body heat to pass through the shirt so that the player feels as comfortable as possible. Some of these fabrics are incredibly fine and one would hardly know they were wearing a polo shirt at all. The one issue with many of the new fabrics is how they are branded but client’s of BTC Group have no concerns there.

We have been branding more than a million pieces of promotional merchandise and promotional clothing every year since 1977. Printed T-shirts or embroidered baseball caps sit happily alongside embroidered jackets and other types of promotional merchandise such as printed stress balls and cheap plastic pens.
