! In order to meet the needs of many men today we decided to create TEAMWORK, specially tailored to fit their needs. TEAMWORK is targeting males between the ages of 18-40. Mens fashion is on the rise and so is a new generation of creative entrepreneurs. From the results of our consumer research, we found that a large gap exists between mens apparel and what is offered for team events. Men love sports, brotherhood, and supporting the things they truly believe in. We wanted to give them the chance to support sporting events, camping trips, family reunions, surf openings, there favorite brewery, or whatever else they choose. Once they choose a shirt, from one of the ten styles we offer, the customization process may begin. They can choose from one of our pre designed logos or they can create and upload their own.
