From adding ties to the bow, white shirts customised for both bands and lodges, custom tees and bucket hats printed. Along with bits and pieces embroidered.

We will have a few follow up posts to show how some went from design to production.

Congratulations to Colin, Bonkers and all the lads at Southside Rangers Fc.

Southside have been a great customer of ours for nearly 8 years now, so it’s brilliant to see them get over the line and lift the title.

What a showcase for the Ballymena Saturday Morning League last night too, with a massive crowd at Wakehurst Playing Fields for the title showdown.

The BSML is stronger and more competitive than it has ever been, with 4 teams still in the mix with only a few games left 👏⚽

𝟭𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 for the big man 👏

Back in 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟲, the bossman and his apprentice came in to order some new teamwear for Raceview Football Club. A few jokes later, Mark was in the next day… and he hasn’t looked back too many times since.

Ten years in any job is a massive achievement these days and deserves serious recognition along with putting up with me for that long.

We disagree about nearly everything, but one thing we do agree on is how work should be done and the standards we expect.

Mark treats the place like it’s his own, and that is hard to come by.

There are plenty of memories we still laugh about — trying to blow corner flags for pictures, the hard hat test, the ones he has saw off, Christmas nights out, the famous Christmas Zala Competitions and all the laughs in between.

Thank you, Mark, for all your hard work and dedication. You’re a credit to your family.

Here’s to a few more memories before you get your dream move. 👏

𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝘄𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 designed and supplied for the guys at Ballymena United Paradise Supporters Club — delivered just in time for the Ballymena United Awards Dinner on Friday night.

For this project we sent over a range of different tie concepts and variations, including subtle woven “ghost” logos throughout the tie, giving the club plenty of options before choosing the final design.

These ties were fully custom made from scratch, including:
✔ Custom stripe colours
✔ Woven club detail throughout
✔ Bespoke embroidered crest

A smart, professional finish for clubs, supporters clubs, businesses, schools, bands & organisations.

We can now supply fully custom polyester ties made to your own design and colours.
