Embroidered kits for Hero Martial Arts Schools

Hero Martial Arts came to us in need of sports kits with branded logos for their schools based all over West Sussex from Cranleigh to Crawley, Godalming to Guildford. The logo features a green star with a black outline which appears on the front and back of the kits. A smaller ‘H’ emblem features on the caps and on the front of the instructor kits.

We’ve been working with Hero Martial Arts for over 18 months now, supplying a staggering amount of kits including;

  • 600 kits for children
  • 150 kits for adults
  • 600 capes
  • 250 T-Shirts
  • Plus over 200 caps, badges and belts!

With sizes ranging from children’s age 3 to large adult sizes, logos can really vary in sizes and stitch count with a large logo having over 45,000 stitches! Of course, all the kits need some sort of branding, from the colour of belts to martial kits themselves featuring trousers and tops. Caps and capes also feature logos, an addition to the kits to look even more the hero.

Personalise your workwear, schoolwear, or sportswear

Customising, labelling and branding your clothing. It can be very important in your business, sport or school to not only look great, but be the best ‘you’ in your uniform. Being able to be recognised, changing into clothing you can perhaps get messy, and being proud of the badge or logo you wear are all reasons to have your clothing personalised. Here are a few recent projects we have completed;

Dog and Bacon Golf Caps with embroidery

Embroidery, a hard-wearing solution

For those wearing uniforms for sportswear, embroidery is durable and long-lasting. Two recent orders have included Beechfield caps for the Dog and Bacon Golf Society which features a dog on the front of the bright green cap. Another local order featuring a bright green is Hero Martial Arts School, running in various Sussex locations, it features a large star in green, not only onto caps but also full kits and belts.

Hero Martial Arts Schools embroidery

Combine both embroidery and heat-applied details

If you are looking to cover a wider area, embroidery may be too costly, and that’s when heat-applied vinyl and transfers come into their own, or you can even mix the two! Local builders Rae Roofing and M Sullivan Builders do just that. Rae Roofing features an embroidered logo on the front left-hand chest on white Russell t-shirts with a larger logo on the back which is heat-applied. M Sullivan Builders has its logo on a grey Fruit of the Loom t-shirt with bullet point services on the reverse.

Schoolwear for children and staff

A great local educational setting, Holbrook Community Preschool, have their logo heat applied onto red Fruit of the Loom t-shirts which feature a great illustration of pupils. T-shirts have been produced for both staff and pupils, a great addition for the preschool.

What do you wear to work, and is it branded?

By wearing different clothing to work you can achieve many things;

  • Give confidence and pride, not only in your business, but also to customers and clients, allowing them to trust who they are talking to too, and easily recognise staff
  • Change into ‘work mode’, by changing your clothes you are mentally engaging in a work mindset and getting ready to start the day
  • Don’t worry about ‘what to wear’, with a branded uniform you don’t have to find a perfect shirt or match up items
  • … and don’t worry about getting clothes dirty or worn, our range of clothing also includes durable brands, ideal for trades and outdoor clothing such as jackets and waterproofs
  • Be safe and be seen with high-visibility vests, jackets and tabards which have reflective strips or borders. These can be branded with heat-applied vinyl both front and back, offering protection and functionality.
  • Represent your business, build up awareness of your business, make it visually appealing in a bright colour or adding additional layers such as jackets and caps.

Personalising workwear with embroidery

Local businesses making use of uniforms with their logos embroidered on them are Anderson Abercromby Veterinary Referrals, and Weddings by Emma Louise. Polo shirts are ever popular for workwear as they offer a casual but professional look and come in a wide range of colours and fits. APH Decorators have their polo shirts in a range of colours.

Not just embroidery

It’s not just embroidery we offer at AppliedFX, there are also options for heat-applied transfers, sublimation, and screen-printing. Heat-applied logos and names were applied for Dallington CE Primary school leavers hoodies and Take the Lead Pet Services hoodies.

Appliedfx-09-21-Blog-Heat-Applied

Personalising your clothing is easy with AppliedFX

Start by sending us your logo. Ideally, we would like something called a vector file, this will be a eps or pdf file with the outline of your logo. We can also use jpegs but they need to be of good quality. We can then send those logos to be digitised. This is a process where images such as logos can be recreated into coloured threads. This will also give us something called a thread count. This lets us know how many stitches it will take our machines to create your logo, therefore giving us a cost that allows us to quote for your logo to be branded onto clothing. We can create a sample swatch so you can see how it will look and we can discuss the colours of the thread. Read more about providing artwork on this pdf >> and more about the process of embroidery and swatches.

Uniforms and workwear, ready for reopening

AppliedFX has been busy in the run-up to businesses reopening; uniforms, workwear, and branded face coverings, along with layers to combat the changing weather. Our team has been embroidering logos onto sweatshirts, applying text to hi-visibility vests, and printed logos on to face masks in amongst the usual workload, Many clients re-order items or call in orders for new staff joining their teams. Some of these are local Horsham businesses working through the pandemic, trades such as builders, carpenters, roofers, and gardeners all adding extensions and garden offices to our homes, all needing their logos on everything from winter jackets to cotton vests, beanies to safety wear.

Recent work for local trades

Embroidered log onto sweatshirts and heat applied text for Cooper Weston

Much of our work comes through referral and repeat business, as many Horsham-based businesses know our quality shines through and will order more workwear or uniform as they expand. Cooper Weston Electrical and Marten & Wright are two such companies. Cooper Weston have a red vinyl heat applied to cotton t-shirts and Marten & Wright have their logo embroidered onto a range of clothing, including gilets for their toddlers (see their Facebook page)

Vets for local Horsham businesses

Both based in Horsham, SplashTacular, and Wild Beast Gardening are new to our services. Wild beast Gardening is a new business with a logo featuring a jumping goat, embroidered onto cotton vests, ideal for outdoor work. The goat logo element is a large feature on their new van graphics too, courtesy of BEL Signs. SplashTacular’s logo is text-based and easily transferred onto these Hi-Vis vests using special vinyl for heat-applied use.

Be safe and seen

Customers are happier when they can easily spot staff and know you are making safety a top priority, which is why we can offer branded clothing options such as safety wear, workwear, Hi-Vis clothing, and face coverings. We can offer a range of branding options including embroidery, heat-applied transfers, and sublimation printing. This also allows for a range of budgets and uses, if you are looking for ‘hard wearing’ an embroidered logo may be best, but if it is high volume a heat applied transfer could work out as a cost-effective choice. If it is a rainbow coloured design you want that includes gradients or an almost photo-like finish we can offer a sublimated print onto clothing that won’t let your design down.

Glowing recent review

Plus we have had our first Google review, from a happy client:
“Very pleased with uniform products received and the level of service provided by the supplier”

Sublimated football kit for Horsham Flames

Have you seen our feature in the local magazine All About Horsham? It showcases a sublimated football kit supplied by us for the new football team Horsham Flames. The football team is made up of players from The Butterfly Project Horsham with sponsors YESSS Electrical, OMS (One Mortgage System), Nightingale Service Centre and BEL Signs. The kit is predominantly in orange and grey with the club logo on the chest that features a phoenix and then a flame reaches up to the side of the shirt. Combined with matching shorts of grey or bright orange and dark socks the team looks great pictured at the new Horsham Football Club Stadium along with a few of their sponsors.

Horsham Flames sporting their new sublimated kit

Horsham Flames sporting their new sublimated kit.

 

Our relationship with The Butterfly Project goes back to 2017 when Service Manager Richard James came to our sister company BEL Signs for fascia signage for their premises on Springfield Road, Horsham. The sign features their logo with raised lettering in grey and oranges, colours reflected in the new sublimated kit. With both companies, BEL Signs and Appliedfx, based within one large factory we were able to then help with branded clothing and talk to Richard about sportswear and put forward this innovative type of printing for their kit.

We supplied proofs of the sublimated designs | Appliedfx | Sublimated Football Kits

 

Richard is very pleased with the finished look, saying to All About Horsham magazine:
“Our players wanted a kit with their own identity, so we spoke to AppliedFX and they’ve been amazing. Peter has even attracted sponsors on our behalf. The players designed everything. Look closely and you’ll see that the emblem is the Mockingjay from The Hunger Games! They wanted to look professional and now they do.”

The design features the flame from the logo on the side

 

An innovative process

Sublimation is a printing process that can use images, tints, blends and patterns that can wrap around the body and garment of the kit, making your kit as unique as your team. The added benefit with sublimation is that several logos can be placed onto the design in full colour including club badges, names, and numbers making it ideal for sports, clubs, and events.

Here at Appliedfx, we have produced many sublimated kits for local football clubs in Sussex. Furngate Youth Football Club features a large logo faded on the back, but it’s not just football kits that sublimation is ideal for, any sport from netball to dance, cricket to cycling. For example, we have produced running shirts and vests in various sizes and fits for local running club Horsham Run Fit that has side panels of colour, the logo large on the front and sponsor logos on all sides and sleeves.

We also embrodiered

We also embroidered the logo onto hoodies for team training kits

 

Want to give your club an exclusive style?

Why not book an appointment at visit our showroom, we are based in Horsham, on Blatchford Road (RH13 5QR). We have samples of this type of garment printing in addition to our embroidery, screen-printing, and heat applied services that are manufactured in-house by our talented team.
