Rush Order Tees partners with Philadelphia Flyers

Philadelphia custom apparel company, Rush Order Tees, turned around leather embroidery work between the Flyers’ playoff clinch and their first home game.

When Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Travis Sanheim texted his wife Alex eight minutes after the team clinched a playoff berth in mid-April, “We’re in! Let’s go! Buy the jackets lol”, the deadline was set. The black leather jackets the Flyers’ partner group would wear to every home playoff game had to be embroidered and ready before the team’s first home contest against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The partners brought the work to Rush Order Tees, and the jackets were finished on time.

The job was documented in a May 17 article in The Athletic by Peter Baugh on the league-wide rise of custom NHL playoff jackets worn by players’ wives and girlfriends. Rush Order Tees added Flyers branding on the front, right arm, and back of each jacket, with individual players’ names on the back and initials on the left arm.

According to a press release, embroidering on leather is a specific technical job, and the Flyers’ partner group brought the company a one-week window between the team’s playoff clinch and the first home game.

“We were glad to do the work,” said Josh Hannum, VP of sales at Rush Order Tees. “The Flyers’ partners had a clear vision and a short clock. We were proud the jackets were ready in time for the first home game.”
