The popularity of sweatshirts
It’s no great surprise that this garment finds a place in most modern wardrobes, Because sweatshirts are a multi purpose marvel as far as clothing goes. This simple long sleeved top has become a fashion standard, an obvious choice for sport and activity. And at the same time a sensible option for many working environments. Better still, sweatshirts are well suited to print and embroidery. One of those items which can carry off a company logo in style and is only improved with a creative visual.
The origin of the crew neck sweatshirt is interesting. The first one appeared in 1920, the brainchild of Benjamin Russell Jr. He was an American football player who was unhappy with the woollen jerseys in use at the time. Hence, the cotton sweat was born. His father took the idea to market and in doing so created the Russell Athletic Co. History lesson concluded, let’s take a look at the garments. A superb selection of sustainable sweatshirts for print and embroidery. Numbered for reference rather than ranking.
