Anyone thingking about a new uniform change besides me?
For the last few years now I have been wearing a beige polo or long sleeve oxford with my logo on it along with coyote brown cargo pants. The combination matched the color scheme of my largest commercial client and seemed to get people there to view me as part of the team rather than an outside contractor. The pants are lightweight tactical that dry fast and never wrinkle or stain. It has been a good arrangement for the most part, but the colors are not exactly vibrant....feel more like a UPS driver when I clean residentials.
I want to go to something more vibrant like a leaf green or blue, but my logo is blue and gold so it really only shows up on white, beige, or maybe an olive. We all know how long a white shirt would last in this industry and I only wear the white oxfords when providing estimates. I don't want to change the logo colors either, so I am sort of without ideas.
I need to place another order soon though as my beige polo shirts are now showing some stains thanks to my mechanics gloves bleeding dye when they got wet. Any ideas or thoughts?

Re: Anyone thingking about a new uniform change besides me?
Well, that became a dead end rather fast. I just checked with my clothing source and they discontinued the beige shirts. So, the only thing left are blue, bright green, yellow, black, grey, or white.
That means I am looking at either white or grey....not exactly the vibrant options I envisioned. The logo does show up well on the white (see my avatar), but it would be difficult to keep it white over the course of the day. Maybe a light grey then??

I started with Levis and blue polo.
Went to dark blue dickies and white moisture management shirt; copied Led Schwab.
-saw some firefighter with the green color combo afewnyeas back; ought about it.
Still do blue and white, with some baby blue shirts sometimes.

I guess it is just the logo color that keeps this whole thing screwed up. As I sit here looking at my van I remember why I chose those colors in the first place...they looked great on a white van. I guess it only makes sense to go with white shirts....a lot of them.

Been away for awhile, I'm back, do yourself a favor and check out www.logoup.com, unreal how affordable embroidered shirts are here. Especislly if you wait until their sales a couple of times a year.I 've paid $9 for fully synthetic polos with logo , no setup charge, no minimums.
Re: Anyone thingking about a new uniform change besides me?
I still wear the green polos and Kali cargo shorts. I really like the all the pockets in the cargo shorts because you can fit all kinds of things in them like small brush, spotter, rag etc
