The embroidery tradition has lived on as well. Since polo shirts are popular on the golf course, in the board room, and around town, many companies put their logo on the shirts and give them to employees and clients. Choosing a polo shirt for your company logo can be kind of overwhelming, especially if you're not particularly fashion-conscious. Here are the top 5 features to pay attention to when making your selection.
Fabric type and texture Performance Features Brand Color Decoration
Fabric type and texture The original polo shirts were 100% cotton, and that fabric is still very popular - especially premium cottons. These are particular varieties of cotton noted for their quality, softness, and durability. Cotton/poly blends are also popular, because the fabric is wrinkle-resistant and less likely to shrink. Finally, you may prefer an exotic or unusual fabric like bamboo or eco-friendly choices like recycled polyester and organic cotton.
Fabric content is just half the equation, however. The texture of the fabric determines its look and feel. Jersey is a casual, inexpensive choice. The same sort of fabric used for T-shirts, it is great for screen printing or embroidery. Finally, mesh fabric is popular for athletic settings, because the space between the fibers allows the garment to breathe.
Performance Features The term "performance fabric" refers to a fabric that has been designed to provide practical benefits to the wearer. They make the experience of wearing the garment more pleasant and convenient. Moisture-wicking or moisture-management polo shirts pull sweat away from the body and promote evaporation. They keep the wearer cool and dry, and are highly desired by golfers and hard-working employees. Where there's sweat, there may be odor, so anti-microbial features are important to curb the growth of smelly bacteria.
Brand It's possible to put your logo on a polo shirt with a recognizable brand name. The people you give a brand-name polo to will see the brand and know they've gotten a high-quality garment. There is one possible downside to a brand-name sport shirt, The other option is private label polo shirts. These garments are manufactured specifically for embroidery and other logo decoration. You may not know the names from retail stores, but the quality and value may be excellent.
Color Most of the time, polo shirts are one color from top to bottom - in other words, they are solid color sport shirts. Another option, which is favored in athletic settings, is the color block polo shirt. This garment combines different colors in different areas of the shirt.
Decoration Last but certainly not least, consider the decoration method used to apply your logo to the polo shirt. Embroidery on the left-chest area is the traditional option, going all the way back to Lacoste's original crocodile. The benefits of embroidery include durability and a polished, classy look. If you're going for a less traditional look, other spots for your logo include the upper back or the sleeve.
New sport shirt decorating trends include laser etching, which essentially "burns" the surface of the fabric to create a tone-on-tone design, and heat seals. Taking all these factors into account - and, of course, the all-important budget and timeline - choosing a polo shirt becomes a matter of mixing and matching the features you like.
