The multiple colors and often intense graphics of these garments can often obscure subtle logos. One way to completely sidestep such a hurdle is by commissioning a custom pattern and incorporating the message or logo(s) into the design. Instead of, say, a repeating pattern or palm trees and parrots, why not a pattern of palm trees, parrots and the client's product or logo? While it often requires an order of at least 1,500 shirts, many suppliers do custom Hawaiian patterns designed for their corporate clients. Superior Uniform Group recently did a series of custom shirts for Hawaii Bus Lines that incorporated a bus into a bright floral pattern; Scorpio Apparel has designed prints for both Captain Morgan's Rum and Coors Brewing Company. Custom patterns allow companies yet another avenue for brand enhancement and extension, says Superior's Spies, and a brightly-colored, hard-to-forget avenue at that. "They're the up-and-coming thing, I believe," he beams. These same suppliers who do custom patterns are well aware that the majority of their stock shirts will be embellished, so the stock designs often leave a relatively "quiet space" around the left chest, where an embroidered logo would typically be placed. Fast Lane Clothing Company's Lori Davis suggests a stark contrast between the color of embroidery and the color of a shirt's pattern. That will help the logo stand out on an already loud shirt. While embroidering a sleeve or left chest is a fairly simple task, a pocket usually proves less accessible. To avoid construction-related decorating difficulties, Davis explains, "We will embroider the pocket, then put the garment together." Screenprinting a "white puff" is often a less-expensive option, she adds. Scorpio Apparel's Lew Klein is less zealous when it comes to screenprinting on Hawaiian shirts. "It turns a Cadillac into a Pinto," he says. He recommends embroidering with "a thread that offsets the pattern's color." Such a decorating strategy, at its best, can result in a more distinctive and memorable logo. You do that on a Hawaiian shirt, and you've got one promotional product that's going to get noticed.
