Bold Traditions
Apparel Fits an Angler’s Lifestyle
What time is it? It’s time for you to step up and get that sublimated pro shirt, team shirts, your university bass club jersey, or even your bass club shirts made. It’s never too late to get that first positive impression for yourself or team. A sublimated jersey is your gateway to the next level of sponsorship. Unfortunately, sublimated jerseys can be extremely expensive especially for an angler, university, or bass club with limited funds. Finding an apparel company to supply your clothing needs is challenging. For Barry Cundiff and Eric Thorn, owners of Bold Traditions an apparel company, it’s all about getting anglers the right apparel at the right price.
A little over three years ago, Cundiff and Thorn faced the same problems getting sublimated jersey as other anglers. A limited market place meant that they would be focused to buy and pay whatever price the apparel company charged. So they started their own apparel company from scratch opening their company out of a large detached garage. The timing was perfect. Thorn, who is Cundiff’s brother-in-law, had been diagnosis with cancer and no longer wanted to be part of the rat-race in the corporate world; life was too short for that. He had been diagnosis with cancer. Together, they started the company with the motto; we work with customers to meet their needs. That is what separates Bold Traditions (www.boldtraditionsapparel.com or phone (303)659-4144) from other apparel companies; they understand where the angler is coming from, especially anglers new to the sponsorship game. “We specialize in working with startup companies; we work with them from designing logos to their apparel needs,” Cundiff continued, “anglers need to understand there is two parts to being a pro staffer, when they are competing on the water and when they are off the water. It’s important that anglers look and act professional.” The average cost of a sublimated jersey can cost from $150 to $200 or other jerseys can cost from $30 to $70 depending on fabric and how much work goes into it. They have no minimum orders on sublimated jerseys or embroidery work.
Bold Traditions offers a complete line of clothing for both active men and women. They also do promotional products including embroidery, screen printing, promotional products, signs and banners; in addition to sublimation including personalized gifts, customized apparel, and awards. For Bold Traditions it’s all about customer service and assisting new companies or anglers. Having their own personal insight into sponsorships and willingness to work with small customers and anglers makes Bold Traditions stand out from other apparel companies.
