School Uniform

An important side to any t-shirt printing business is school uniform. Most t-shirt business will have a few schools quite local to them and probably have kids of their own that go to one or other of them. With this advantage over competitors there is usually important orders placed every year which we as an industry can ill afford to loose.

The repercussions of the forthcoming general election, where it is widely believed that there will be a new government this time is a source of some concern to our industry.

When the OFT report on school uniforms came out under the Labour government, suggesting that every school should get rid of school uniforms completely, we had to form the Schoolwear Association. This group had great success in convincing MP of the benefits of school specific uniform.

The Conservative view is that they think it is very important that school kids should look smart. Michael Grove has said that although blazers and school ties would not be obligatory they would be very much encouraged.

I think the figure that proves the point is that out of the top 50 best performing schools in this country, only one does not have a school uniform.
