Corporate Polos and Sweatshirts: How to Dress Your Team

Quick answer: the polo shirt is the most common garment for customer service and sales teams, with technical versions (antibacterial recycled polyester) or classic cotton; the sweatshirt or sports jacket is added in cold season over the same uniform, keeping the brand image consistent outdoors.

When outfitting a whole team, unify the base color between the polo and the sweatshirt/jacket so the brand image stays consistent when the outer layer comes on or off, and keep the same embroidery or print placement (left chest) across all garments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a technical polo and a heather polo?

The technical polo is designed for greater breathability and activity, made from recycled polyester fabrics; the heather polo has a more classic feel and look, similar to cotton, common in store or office uniforms.

Are organic cotton sweatshirts as durable as conventional ones?

Yes, the organic composition affects the origin of the cotton, not its durability; the fabric performs the same in terms of longevity if the weight (gsm) is similar.

Can I combine polos of different sizes within the same company order?

Yes, that's standard practice: each employee orders their size within the same corporate order, keeping the same color and model for the whole team.
