Behind The Scenes at Allrush – Custom Embroidery

Behind The Scenes at Allrush – Custom Embroidery

Have you ever seen someone with an embroidered logo or design on a piece of clothing? Chances are you thought it looked pretty sharp. If you’re wondering how they did it, and how you might be able to get some custom embroidered clothing of your own, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s how we use an embroidery machine at our shop to create beautiful, custom designs on virtually any piece of clothing: 1. Create a Design Our graphic design experts come up with a unique design, or a client brings a pre-designed graphic in themselves. 2. Transfer the File to the Embroidery Machine This can be done directly using a USB cable, flash card or through the computer. 3. Set the Machine There are a number of factors that need to be considered when setting the machine. We need specific speed, needles, threads, orientation, order and spacing to ensure a clean design. It’s more complicated than it looks! 4. Place the Fabric For the machine to work, the fabric needs to be stretched about as tight as your holiday budget. We secure it to the machine so it’s perfectly lined up. 5. Stitch Away! Now, we get to sit back and relax while the machine works its magic. Watch your fingers! Custom embroidery is a great way to elevate your apparel to another level. While this can be slightly more expensive than other printing methods, nothing looks quite as sharp as an embroidered logo or design on a t-shirt, jacket or other piece of clothing. You can count on Allrush to create beautiful, creative designs for anything your heart desires. Ready to start your project? Reach out to info@allrush.ca.

The Benefits of Team Uniforms in Sports

The Benefits of Team Uniforms in Sports

Team uniforms are a universal aspect of sports across the globe. While the physical outfits’ colours and logos vary greatly throughout different sports and teams, the concept remains the same— a desire to stand apart from other players and stand united in the game. Jerseys are imperative for coaches, fans and referees to identify specific players by their numbers. They’re critical to establishing a team brand at sporting competitions and other events. Beyond looking sharp on the rink or the playing field, there are a number of other reasons why team uniforms are important for success. Building Camaraderie As anyone who’s played on a sports team at some point in their lives can attest, there’s no better feeling than showing up to a game as one unified team. Uniforms contribute to team spirit, allowing players to feel better bonded and show up as one team. Your team uniform is what gives you your super-power feeling! Engaging with Fans Another key aspect to the success of a team is allowing fans to better identify with the players and show their support. No matter if the team is playing for a handful of parents or an arena of supporters, the outcome remains the same. Since most fans aren’t able to directly participate in the sport themselves, team apparel allows them to still feel like a part of the game. A strong community of supporters is key to the success of a team, and a cohesive look ties it all together. What team’s jersey do you wear? At AllRush, we’re big Calgary Flames fans; you’ll notice several Calgary Flames jerseys hanging in our office. Improving Performance The concept of “look good, feel good” has long defined how the way we present on the outside can have a significant impact on our confidence, outlook and general happiness. For players on a team, confidence plays an important role in the way a player shows up in a game. Studies have shown that wearing red can lead to better performance in competition. By dressing for success, teams can set themselves up to play a better game. With a number of options for custom apparel, we’ve got you covered. We help teams look good, so they can play better!
