July 2008 Archives

While the sweatshirt has been around for ages and hasn't exactly seen any revolutionary changes, there are a few trends one should be well versed on when making purchases for corporate outings and employee gifts.  First, consider the popularity of vintage styles for sweatshirt purchases.  The "aged" or "frayed" look has made a return and certainly will be appreciated by younger, trend-setting youths. 

Secondly, there is a trend in the industry for heavy fabrics that are great for picnics and tailgates just in time for football season.  Heavier sweatshirts are especially perfect for those looking for warmth and comfort.  The soft material is perfect for sports fans of all ages. 

Thirdly, the hooded sweatshirt has made its way back.  What was once popular in the 80s, has found its way back to the fashion-front and many suppliers and retailers alike have seen a spike in sales.  Once popular with the X-games crowd, the hoodie has become more main-stream and can be seen on people from all walks of life.

Lastly, like the t-shirt market, there has been a move towards eco-friendly products and while there are very few "green" sweatshirts on the market, this segment should grow as consumers demand more environmentally friendly products.

The medal for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games is designed with inspiration coming from "bi", China's ancient jade piece inscribed with dragon pattern. The medals, made of gold and jade, symbolize nobility and virtue and are embodiment of traditional Chinese values of ethics and honor, sending forth strong Chinese flavor.

The medals are 70mm in diameter and 6mm in thickness. On the front side, the medal adopts standard design prescribed by the International Olympic Committee. While on the back, the medal is inlaid with jade with the Beijing Games emblem engraved in the metal centerpiece. The design inspiration of the medal hook derives from jade "huang", a ceremonial jade piece with decoration of double dragon pattern and "Pu", the reed mat pattern.

Noble and elegant, the Beijing Olympic Games medal is a blending of traditional Chinese culture and the Olympism. It gives the winners of the Games great honor and acclamation as recognition of their achievement.
