San Bruno Girls Softball

The COVERITALLCO team loves  to support team sports with apparel for them and their fans. We are currently working with teams from the  San Bruno Girls Softball League. This fall the Art Department designed a great hoody and fan gear for the Warriors team. Each young athlete got a styling Warriors hoody with their nickname on the back in a fun font all to compliment there hats and jerseys. The team looked so great more teams were interested in creating their distinctive logo and team gear with COVERITALLCO!!

Another  team, the “PIRATES”,  wanted a team hoody for their players.  PIRATE coaches Steve & Tanya Borghello contacted us to see if we would work with them to create a design for their team. So our art department got busy developing some hoody designs. They were interested in getting away from the simple screen printed designs of the past.  We developed two designs that would look great done in embroidery.

After a few days of review with the team, they picked design #1. The Pirate logo seen here was a great distinctive character for the girls hoodys, and now they have a logo of their mascot. We were faced with the challenge of making the design work on a wide range of sizes, from Youth XS to Adult 3XL!!! So we decided to do the design in pure embroidery.  So we went to work taking the .ai vector file and stared the digitizing process. (Digitizing is the process of putting the stitches to the design)

The design came out great and sewed out perfectly!!!!

We have been very fortunate that two other teams have contacted us!! The TIGERS were next and our art department got back to work. Coach Angie saw our embroidery work from a couple of other teams and wanted to see what we could do for the Tigers.

When doing the artwork we work hard to make each design unique for that team.  We have digitized the Tigers design and are starting production soon. The art department has just finished two design for the  COBRAS softball team!! Coach Nick and the COBRAS are doing a design review now!!! We love making a team look great. The “better you look the better you play!”  Check back soon to see pictures of the players, coaches and fans wearing the gear!!!

We have a very creative and capable art department!  So, contact us and LETS DESIGN SOMETHING GREAT TOGETHER!!!!

Custom Artwork Comes to Life at COVERITALLCO!

Keeping the Menlo Water Polo Team comfortable and warm on the pool deck!

The Art department has been busy here the last several months creating art and elaborate shirts, hoodys, hats and even some cartoons!! Everyday is an adventure when designing and developing apparel for our clients. We love to see happy faces at sporting events, work, and studying hard at school in original COVERITALLCO creations. Life always seems to go easier when your comfortable and looking GOOD!!

We kicked off the fall with some original artwork from the St. Charles Parish which was all about the classic community gathering on the school yard! We developed a hand drawing into a shirt that publicized the event and reminded you of the spirited weekend!! This year there was great music every night, new festival games and fantastic food and drinks… Thanks St. Charles for the memorable weekend!!

Also for St. Charles this past year we designed some amazing modern Basketball T-shirts for their annual Boys Christmas Classic Tournament. Again we screen printed the images giving us flexibility with color and a bold graphic design! Getting feedback from students and parents, together we developed these graphics and a shirt they will continue to wear long after they step off the court. A sophisticated look for those middle-school boys. The tournament was a great success with over 25 schools competing!!

LADY VIKING Illustration!!

Water Polo season had us splashing around in all sorts of apparel.  One of our favorites were the ultra plush robes with the classic Menlo logo embroidered on the back and the athletes names on the front. The other teams had to be jealous of these boys during those cool afternoons and morning tournaments!

Team Game Day shirts are always a huge hit. This fall our most popular were the Menlo “Splash” Design and Woodside “h2O” shirts!! Athletes and team fans collaborated with us to work in their creative ideas and the Art department pushed it over the top. Its great to see teams and supporters decked out in hats, shirts, robes, sweatshirts and even towels!! We love to make a team completely ready for their season without having to worry about looking good or staying dry.

Creative team shirts are always fun for the Athletes to sport on game days! Getting pumped up in a custom designed T-shirt couldn’t be more comfortable. We want to make sure schools and students are proud of who they are and their team. Allowing such freedom with a screen printed design assures that the apparel is just what you want!!

During some of those cold winter days here at COVERITALLCO the art department was getting creative with some of our fan photos! By vectorizing photos and adding a little digital creativity our we had some amazing illustration to use on apparel and our website.

We are busy at work here on some great new apparel! We have been spending some valuable time getting some local small businesses outfitted in professional polos, shirts and hats. We even have been trying something new with store front window signs! Developing an overall look for a business has been an great addition to COVERITALLCO.

Happily after taking some needed vacation time we are back and working hard to get teams, school, businesses and YOU ready for the spring!! Golf Tournaments, Student Council, Softball season, Cheerleading Nationals and some yummy Restaurants will continue to keep us busy! We look forward to finishing some new original designs to be worn SOON!

I LOVE COVERITALLCO!!
