MILITARY & UNIT PROJECT IDEAS

Different Occasions Call for Different Custom Products

Military and unit orders can be built around a deployment, event, milestone, morale project, reunion or everyday unit identity. Choose an occasion to see apparel, coins, patches and other products that can be combined around the project.

Deployments

Build the Project Around the Deployment

Deployment T-Shirts Screen printed or DTF shirts built around the deployment artwork.
Hoodies & Sweatshirts Great for cooler locations, travel and off-duty unit apparel.

Change of Command

Create Something That Marks the Transition

Change-of-command projects can recognize outgoing leadership, welcome incoming leadership or commemorate the event itself. The design can be formal and traditional or built around the specific personality of the unit.

Morale T-Shirts Custom artwork built around unit humor, identity or shared experiences.
DTF Shirts Great for detailed artwork, smaller runs or multiple designs.

Make the Project About the Person Being Recognized

Retirement and recognition orders can reflect the person's career, command, unit history, rank, dates of service and the people they served with. These projects work best when the details are specific to the individual.

Recruiting & Outreach

Products That Help the Unit Show Up Consistently
