Engines were roaring as the Harley faithful gathered in St Tropez, France for the first Harley Davidson event of the year. Bikers were entertained for four days with live music, demo rides, customise bike shows, parades and enjoyed it all with stunning scenery and spectacular sunny weather. Our staff managed to soak up a bit of sun, some more burnt than others, but were to busy supplying merchandise to the huge hub of Harley riders.

Start Of A Muddy Season

This weekend was the first Tough Mudder event of 2016 where we supplied over 100,000 performance finisher t-shirts.

Thousand upon thousand turned up to Henley on Thames to brave the brutal battle that is Tough Mudder. It is a sticky and tricky endurance test, putting competitors out of their comfort zone by completing a 10-12 mile muddy obstacle course.

Thankfully the weather was glorious (imagined if it rained). And although none of the Event team stepped up to the challenge of competing….we were on hand to provide over 100,000 performance finisher t-shirts. It was a mud-tastic day!

 

 

The next event is Tough Mudder Midlands Half on 14th May where ‘mudees,’ can expect to see us supplying finisher t-shirts and mudder merchandise. We also run the Tough Mudder web shop where competitors can now customise their own t-shirts, with a range of logos, designs and customise options. There’s the choice of designing a men’s and women’s 100% cotton t-shirt, or a performance t-shirt.

Why not customise your own, click here to let your imagination run wild.

Gold For The British Cycling Team and Gold For Event Merch

Event experienced 5 days of rip-roaring cycling action which rocked the Velodrome stands and saw Britain finish in glory. 

The last couple of days have been a roller coaster of a ride down at LeoValley Park as Event were the official merchandisers for the UCI 2016 Track Cycling World Championships. As Team GB raced to glory, so did we. We provided a spectrum of sporting goods for cycling fans across 5 days of intense track racing. The web shop is still online and proving popular so get your stuff quick!

Laura Trott notably won 2 gold medals whilst Sunday witnessed the return of Britain’s dynamic duo. Sir Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish sent BRITs fans crazy as they provided a stunning victory to give Team GB a total of 5 gold medals.

The Sedex Conference 2016

Event took a trip to the capital to what was an intuitive conference offering advice and the opportunity to network with a variety of brands and suppliers alike.

At the Barbican in London, The Sedex Conference 2016 brought today around 1000 leaders in responsible sourcing, with the aim of simplifying supply chain sustainability. It went down as one of the world’s largest responsible sourcing conference this year.

Sourcing can be a tricky realm of work, with the risk of overcomplicating things. #Sedex16 was an inspection and digestion into how to identify connections and simplify approaches to supply chain sustainability in the best way possible. The 2 day event was a chance for leaders from all over the globe to hear from organisations at all levels of the supply chain, government, the third sector and more. There were insightful workshops, intriguing plenary sessions, superb spotlight talks and the chance for leaders to network efficiently.

Representing Event at the Barbican was our director Paul Goldsmith who said:

“we take our supply chain very seriously and we are working closely with our factories to make sure our stock is actioned ethically and sustainably, so the conference proved helpful in gaining further information and advice on fulfilling this.”

It’s 3 years on the trot for Event producing the merch for the BRITs and this year was another triumph. The t-shirts featured nominee emoji’s and also had their relevant hashtags, which were all over Twitter on the night! Our web shop is still selling so why not have a gander and see what we have got for you? *LittleMix fans- T-shirts are now at £15…wink wink, nudge nudge.

After running around the O2 for hours with our feet covered in blisters, we finally got to enjoy the spectacle of the night. Ant and Dec were hilarious! The Weeknd rocked the BRITS School, Coldplay got everyone dancing and Bieber, well it was hard to hear Bieber over his screaming fans! Adele was the queen of the awards on the night and David Bowie was honoured well by Gary Oldman, Annie Lennox and a mesmerising tribute from Lorde.

See below the video of the talented James Bay performing ‘Hold Back The River.’ 

Check out our Facebook page to see all our pictures from the night and don’t forget, merchandise is still available online.

The TNA Weekend

Our first event into the new year is a lively one, ‘Hit him with the chair?!’ That’s right, TNA is back this weekend, and is wrestling its way across the UK.

Here at Event! we like rummaging through our back catalogue, finding forgotten gems and stumbling upon the rarity. This week it was our mission to find some one-of-a-kind wrestling merch to show you all, and look what we found…

WWF Wrestling Collection

WWF Wrestling Collection

Cast your mind back to the glory days when ‘Hollywood’ Hulk Hogan was under the management of the charismatic Jimmy Hart. Jimmy decided to split from Hogan and in the process of doing so, he curated ‘The Ultimate Wrestling Collection.’ Inside were discs containing classic championship matches from Florida and Memphis. Jimmy also included a selection of his favourite hit tunes and theme music as well as lost episodes of wrestling action from XWF. There were over 100 wrestling stars and legends featured in this collection including; ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper, Jerry Lawler, Konnan and Hulk Hogan.WF-Red-Bear-front

We also found some World Wrestling Federation TY Bears. These bears are of iconic wrestlers like Kane and Shamrock.

TNA starts at the Manchester Arena tomorrow night, then close-lining it’s way to London’s SSE Wembley Arena, before tapping out in Birmingham’s Barclaycard Arena on Sunday. Tickets are still available if you want some thrilling and entertaining ringside action. For more pictures and information from the event, see our Facebook page.

Airbnb Dominos

Airbnb Domino Set

Dominos-A universal language

Approximately three weeks before Christmas Event! Merchandising, together with Airbnb, was tasked creating a unique gift  for around 6000 Airbnb hosts who will have guests staying with them around Christmas in the UK, France and Germany.

The suggestion of a bespoke set of Dominos was put forward.

The reason why dominos was put forward as an activity for both guests and hosts to play is because minimal communication is required whilst playing it and the game is known around the world.

Event manufactured the sets containing 36 individually branded blocks in a two week record time, working around the clock in order to leave time to post out the individual sets. The material chosen for the dominos set was acrylic, the design and packaging were both finalised,  and the sets arrived in time for Christmas.

Hosts have posted across social media, their delight in receiving the gifs.

The set’s of acrylic dominos that have been created are both beautifully designed, simple and on-brand.

Davis Cup Final 2015

Event! Merchandising, the UK’s leading supplier of sports merchandise, worked in partnership with British Lawn Tennis Association and were the official merchandise supplier to Team GB throughout their successful Davis Cup campaign, which included victories over U.S.A., France, Australia, and culminated in a stunning 3-1 victory over Belgium, in Ghent over the weekend of 27th-29th November 2015. Event! provided fans with merchandise throughout the Brits’ successful Davis Cup run, which the fans wore to showcase their support for the British team. This included the T-shirt manufactured by us with the slogan ‘Back the Brits’, and the frenzied wall of support that was generated from this was something which undoubtedly gave Team GB that push on their way to winning their first Davis Cup since 1936.

The Davis Cup, which Team GB had not won in 79 years, was first staged in 1900. It is an extremely prestigious tennis tournament and is commonly viewed as being the World Cup of tennis. In the 2015 version of the tournament, Great Britain memorably swept aside Belgium in the final in Ghent. Andy Murray confirmed his status as British sport’s golden boy at the frenzied cauldron of Flanders Expo, having joined a select band of players, in John McEnroe and Mats Wilander, in winning all eight of his Davis Cup rubbers in one tournament, on the way to Team GB’s final victory.

Let’s hope that the Event! ‘Back the Brits’ T-shirts provide a lasting memento of one of British sport’s finest hours.

This year saw Team GB win their first Davis Cup title in 79 years.
