T-Shirt Color Selection
The official t-shirt color options to select from vendors are orange, gray, white or black.
Variations
Tint variations for orange or gray t-shirts are allowed, see examples below:
Logos on Promo Items
Do not recreate or modify university logos. All artwork for promo items and t-shirts must be the official files provided by University Marketing and Communications.
Custom, modified, or vendor-recreated logos are strictly prohibited and will be denied for production. Only official secondary logo formats are permitted. To ensure accuracy, UMC will provide the correct files directly to your vendor.
Required Technical Standards: To avoid production delays or costly redesigns, all apparel designs must comply with the ADA legibility standards (Title II) for printed collateral. See full requirements and submission instructions for more details.
Restrictions on Name-Brand Merchandise
Many premium brands prohibit adding third-party logos to their products. UTRGV does not allow "post-embellishments" on major brands to avoid trademark infringement and potential lawsuits.
You cannot buy now and brand later on the following brands. Purchasing "blank" retail items and having the UTRGV logo added by a third-party vendor is strictly prohibited.
The following brands are very strict and do not allow their products to be modified:
- Drinkware: YETI, Stanley, Owala
- Apparel & Outerwear: Carhartt, Patagonia, Columbia, The North Face, Vuori, Lululemon
