Impressions - April 2018 - 23
Davis suggests the full spectrum of the athletic audience's age be
kept in mind. "While we tend to focus on younger audiences for
teamwear and athleticwear, don't forget the ageless athlete," he says.
"There's a large audience of older consumers who have not aged out
and still want to participate in team sports. This demographic will
continue to grow."
Female customers also will continue to drive trends by demanding team-sports products designed specifically for them. "Women
increasingly are not satisfied wearing unisex uniforms, and strive
to create a more feminine and customized look," Brockhaus says,
adding that Augusta is introducing new bags and hair accessories
in team colors geared toward female athletes who want to complete
their team's unique look.
"Our All-Out Glitter backpack features two-side mesh water bottle/bat pockets, a laptop pocket and a hidden carabiner that she can
use for her batting helmet or for securing the bag to a fence," she
says. "We are also launching a Glitter duffle bag to carry larger gear,
and fun hair accessories in glitter sequin and grosgrain fabrics."
Bold colors, technical
fabrics and specif ic cuts
all are prevalent trends
in today's athletic wear
and team uniforms.
