Sail GP

SailGP

SailGP is sailing redefined. Established in 2018 and headquartered in London and San Francisco, SailGP is an annual, global sports championship featuring bold, cutting-edge technology and awe-inspiring athleticism. The fan-centric, inshore racing takes place in some of the most iconic harbors around the globe and culminates with a $1 million winner-takes-all match race. Rival national teams from Australia, China, France, Great Britain, Japan and the United States battle it out in identical supercharged F50 catamarans, engineered for intense racing at electrifying speeds exceeding 50 knots (nearly 60 mph/100 kph).

Fans can show their support for their favorite national team following the launch of the SailGP Event Merchandising online fan shop. Collections from each of the six teams competing in the world’s fastest on-water racing are now available, along with a unique SailGP range.

Some of the biggest names in marine retail – including Sail Racing, Gill, PelleP, Zhik and Sailfast – have worked closely with the teams  to develop an exciting range of merchandise, mirroring each of the team’s individual identities, from the striking green and gold of the Australian team to the red and white rising sun emblem of Japan.

The Sail Racing ‘Originals’ range comprises t-shirts, caps, hoodies, polo shirts, jackets and accessories, all featuring the distinct SailGP logo. The range also includes some striking country-specific designs highlighting the iconic harbor locations that SailGP will visit in its inaugural year.

Fans wanting to show their true colors and support their team can now be the proud owners of the very same team kit worn by some of the best athletes in the world.

Team items available to purchase include caps, polo shirts, t-shirts, jackets and backpacks replicating the exact logos and design that each of the team members wear. Available in male, female and youth sizes, products are of the highest quality and technical specification and can be shipped anywhere in the world.

An Evening With The Hairy Bikers

National treasures Si King and Dave Myers, also known as the Hairy Bikers, have been cooking together for over 20 years. Their passion for food has led them to adventure round the world to discover fresh new recipes and create haute cuisine with Michelin star chefs.

After filming countless TV series and writing memoirs, the down to earth duo decided to go on a live UK tour Feb-April 2019 – 37 shows of “An Evening With The Hairy Bikers”, and Event Merchandising was honored to have been asked to support them by creating a range of Hairy Bikers merchandise, for sale online and at each venue.

The retail range was designed to include a limited edition floating pen, in which you can see the Hairy Bikers and their bike travelling up and down, a beautiful grained notebook designed with bike nuts and the Hairy Bikers logo, to write food recipes inside and a 2 in 1 coaster / bottle opener to help crack open a bottle of something whilst cooking up a tasty recipe.

Event Merchandising’s creative designer Nick Hallett also designed a retro-gritty souvenir programme for the tour, which included a range of fabulous recipes, photographs and stories from the Hairy Bikers themselves.

Missing Link

After 3 years in the making and months of TV advertising, Laika’s new stop-motion animation film release “Missing Link” has finally hit the cinema screens worldwide, and Event Merchandising is proud to be a part of the launch!

Starring the voices of Hugh Jackman and Zach Galifianakis, Missing Link tells the story of Sir Lionel Frost (Hugh Jackman), an explorer of mythical beings, who embarks on an adventurous journey with Mr Link (a mythical being), to fulfill their joint mission of finding Mr Link’s family. The mission takes them through the fabled valley of Shangri-La which encounters danger of course, with villains hell bent on standing in their way, but will they make it with the help of resourceful adventurer Adelina Fortnight?… Bursting with humour, Missing Link answers the questions surrounding the past and future of mankind.

 

In conjunction with the film release, Event Merchandising was asked to use its expertise in film and creative merchandising, to design an online retail range of official Missing Link merchandise for kids and adults. The range boasts vibrancy and colour, a true representation of Laika’s fabulous character creations, and illustrates the film’s witty humour and captions throughout.

Part of the hero range is our creatively designed Mr Link’s “Things Are Looking Hairy” socks which is sure to be a winner amongst all!
