We’ve been making plans for our booth at the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) show later this month. Part of that process includes the questions, “What logoed apparel should the team wear,” and “What color combination should we use for our embroidered promotional clothing?”

Given that some of the team will be there for a few days, we have a couple of different combinations of colors and designs.

One of my favorites in the mix is “tone-on-tone.” That’s where the embroidery is the same tone/color as the shirt. I know it seems a bit counter-intuitive, but it looks very polished and works well on dress shirts, promotional polo shirts and even heavyweight T’s or sweats.

Tone-on-tone embroidered promotional clothing stands out by not “standing out” – know what I mean?

Example of Tone-on-Tone Embroidery
