Stick It To 'Em Attends Trade Show

Stick It To 'Em Sports will be attending the Campus Stores of New England and College Stores Association of New York State's Joint Meeting & Trade Show at Mohegan Sun Casino March 22nd. Last year's Trade Show in Saratoga NY was a great success. We currently are selling Stick It To 'Em tees in 10 Campus Bookstores throughout New England. We're hoping to add many more this year. We'll also be introducing a brand new Polo shirt at the show. Watch for live updates on Facebook from Mohegan Sun.

Stick It To 'Em Attends Outdoor Hockey Tournament

Stick It To 'Em Sports "Sponsored" Team Chin Straps in an Annual 3 on 3 Outdoor Hockey Tournament this past weekend. Although the Chin Straps did not take home the Championship we were the only team with a "sponsor". Check out the fans that showed up wearing Stick It To 'Em gear! Good Times!

Knit Hat with Bill in Action

With 3+ feet of snow on roofs and a looming ice storm on the way, everyone scrambled to shovel roofs. After completing my buddy Owen's roof, it seemed logical to ride my shovel off. Notice I'm wearing the Stick It To 'Em Logo Knit Hat w/ Bill (visor, not a person). Awesome for keeping your head warm and snow out of your eyes. Field testing was a complete success!

Webstore Launch

During the Summer of 2010 we set out to build our inventory in anticipation of our Webstore Launch. 

Downhill Mountain Bike Event - 2010

Stick It To 'Em hit the road in late May to set up a merchandise booth at the US Open of Downhill Mountain biking taking place in Vernon, NJ. It was a great event and had a blast selling our Mountain Biking Tees the the riders and fans.

Pre-Limited Edition Prints

Again, prior to moving forward with the Limited Edition line, I wanted to make sure I wasn't in over my head and would actually be able to produce 50 t-shirts with my homemade screen printing press. I had to move the press out of the walk-in closet and take over some other area in the house. I built a new work table and a rolling t-shirt cart with a screen storage/drying rack. Once my work station was set, I printed 50 "All-Star" Street Hockey tees for the upcoming tournament. The printing process went very well. However, I had not purchased a flash dryer to cure the ink on the shirts. I ended up using my clam shell heat press which actually did the trick. Luckily I was using water based ink. I don't think it would have worked on plastisol ink. A flash dryer purchase would definitely be a necessity in order to produce the Limited Edition line of tees.

First Print - "All-Star" Design

Fast forward through the process of turning a walk-in closet into a dark room, coating screens with emulsion, burning screens, washing out screens and presto a print ready screen. This first screen I made was for a street hockey tournament I was organizing and participating in. I figured it'd be best to test the design and quality of the print on my friends before moving forward with the real Limited Edition line. I was pleasantly surprised at how they came out. We called this the "All-Star" design. We're looking forward to doing full production runs of this design for all sports in the future.
