The mosaic floor tile pattern that surrounds the traditional interlocking letters on the new alternate Notre Dame jersey designed by UnderArmour is a trend that you can reinterpret with your own custom patterns and school letters. I’m not encouraging you to copy this design but to use it as inspiration for your own original looks.
Did you see that Notre Dame recently revealed their new football uniforms, designed by UnderArmour? It was the alternate jersey that caught my attention, thanks to the incorporation of two design trends we’ve been seeing. Think about incorporating these two design ideas for your team and fan wear this fall.
1. Use a pattern to spice up a standard logo. Turn your traditional logos into works of art. Artwork sells shirts! My daughter Kaitlyn sent me an example of a shirt that’s sold at All That JAS, in Elon, North Carolina. I was really impressed with the detailed artwork. The Notre Dame alternate jersey, with its detailed mosaic tile patterned design is also an excellent example of taking an already good looking football jersey and further enhancing it with art.
This shirt features a pattern surrounding the school name, a simple yet very artistic way to make a logo pop. Available for sale at All That JAS.
2. Don’t forget the shirt tail or hem. Have you noticed that almost nobody tucks their shirts in anymore? This is a trend we’ve been seeing for quite some time now, printing in unusual areas on the garment. Notre Dame added one of their mottos to the hem of the football jersey. You can do this as well. It’s a great way to add extra profit to any garment.
Don’t forget the details! Adding a player, team name, inspirational saying or school motto to the hem or other unusual position increases saleability and profitability!
