New LogO Proofs
Here are the basics with the new logo, shown in print (vs embroidery)
SS Tee shirts
There are numerous options for tees. The Hanes X-Temp tee that you've been using is a ringspun cotton blend, and ringspun is super soft. Anything cotton is going to be softer, because that's the nature of cotton. But it's also not going to be as durable as a poly/cotton blend or a 100% polyester piece.
Jerzees 29MR
We have done really well with a very basic poly/cotton 50/50 blended Jerzees tee. Much to my surprise, actually. We ran a batch of this basic, affordable tee for Avon Lake fire early in the summer, and they recently ordered them again. We've been using this tee more and more in the commercial circles, because it's durable but still inexpensive.
48 pieces in this style come in at 10.50 each, printed with a 5 color logo.
Sport-Tek ST350 Dri-Fit Tee
A nice, affordable dri-fit tee (100% polyester) at 48 pieces comes in at 12.35 each. There's also a heavier weight version of this tee called the "Tough Tee" ST320 and it comes in at $13.95 each.

There are a number of things that we can do better for your apparel program. After evaluating the items that you already have on hand, quality is one of the first things that comes to mind, followed by inventory management and control.
I've provided an overview of my suggestions and pricing below but of course, we offer lots of other styles besides these basics. Polos, fleeces, jackets, all of it....

Logo placement:
I noticed that there are a lot of irregularities associated with the placement of the logos. They're crooked, misaligned, and in most cases, not even in the right location (per industry standards). I also suggest that we screenprint the sweats and tees, vs embroider. It's a better process for the basic pieces. I'm guessing that your current provider doesn't offer screenprint, and that's why you're getting everything embroidered. We can make the logo a little larger (much larger on the pant) and more appropriate to the garment if we screen print (vs embroider) as well. All prices are with YELLOW GOLD Screenprint (one color). The embroidery option is discussed below as well.
Sweat Pants
Here you'll see a photo of your stock sweat pant. The logo is nearly at the waist. The appropriate placement is centered on the crotch seam, as shown here.

- Pricing is for Small-XL. 2XL and above are an additional cost.
- All prices include delivery
- All prices include setup charges (no extra charges for digitizing, screens, etc)
- 72 pieces $16.40 each small - xl
- 100 pieces $15.70 each small-xl
- Note: pricing is for the quantities shown. Higher quantities = lower price. Lower quantities = higher price.
- There are also less expensive styles (no pocket and/or elastic bottom).
Crewneck Sweatshirt
Here's is a photo of your crewneck sweatshirt, Style G18000. I would also suggest screenprinting this piece. The logo placement on this sample piece is also "off" a bit. The white crosshairs indicate appropriate placement.
Pricing for this particular pant brand/style G18000, screenprinted, is as follows:

- This is a basic piece, one model beneath the weight of the sweatpant. There is a slightly nicer version of this available (same brand) at $14.40 each sm-xl.
Tee Shirt
Your tee shirt sample is pictured below. The ruler marks the appropriate (straight) for this logo. This sample is and example of the level of 'crooked' that we're seeing throughout this order. There appears to be no standard or forms/measuring used during production. Again, I'd screenprint the tees. There are numerous styles of tee-shirts available. We're finding that many of our safety service clients are really fond of the basic Jerzees brand 50/50 Model 29MR. I also have a nice dri-fit tee available which has been popular.

Gildan Hooded Sweatshirt
The photo of your sweatshirt sample also shows the poor alignment. The ruler indicates 'straight' and where the logo should be on the shirt. Following the same customs as outlined above, pricing is as follows:

Sport-Tek Mesh Short ST510
The logo on the shorts hugs the bottom seam a little more than we'd like. It's also got to be scratchy on the legs and since it's sewn directly to the lining, I'm guessing these tug a little when the students wear them. I'm showing a mock-up of a complementary lettering print (vs the logo) .. just food for thought. I feel like the logo on the shirt and again on the pant might be redundant. Wondering if any consideration has ever been given to using lettering on the lower half. Pricing for this item printed:

Polo Shirt and Ball Caps
There are SO MANY polo options. The one that you're using is very basic. I would embroider the polos for sure, as they are more 'dress' and embroidery is always nicer on a polo. We can offer you dri-fit polos, as well as the less expensive polo that you're currently using. Pricing for anything embroidered is predicated on the complexity of the logo and that is where we might reach an impasse. The logo that you have suggested is extremely complex, will be VERY costly and I'm not even sure it can even be digitized. Short of offering you a technical lecture in the art and process of embroidery, take my word...this one is a doozey. A simple "badge" embroidered is already a complex creature, but add all of the other components that are shown, the shield, the flag, the outlines, the details...as shown, if cost savings is really the goal, this is definitely the wrong way to go.
The ball cap also isn't the greatest and we can provide a much nicer and more consistent job with the quality of embroidery. Ball caps are available in a wide variety or prices and styles, depending upon the quality of the cap and the intensity of the embroidery.
Scratching my head over this proposed new logo (as it relates to prices and process) has been a challenge. I'm glad to discuss but .. well ... we can discuss.

Duffel Bags
We also offer a wide variety of duffel bags that are sized and detailed according to the needs you've outlined. Prices range from $18.00 (for a basic Port Authority brand) to $33.00 each (for a top of the line Ogio brand), depending upon the brand. Here are a couple of photos...all duffels sort of look alike on screen. If we decide to proceed, I can stop by with samples for touchy feels and you can make a more informed choice.
