Branded products, including branded custom polos, will bring your brand to an entirely new level of professionalism and help your team or business project a polished, consistent look. Sometimes, looking the part is half the battle when it comes to winning trust. If you have a salesperson randomly knock on your door and you have to choose who you will listen to—one wearing a t-shirt and one wearing a custom polo—who would you trust more? In a restaurant, if every staff member is in a t-shirt but you see two individuals wearing logo polos, doesn’t it instantly signal they’re likely in management? Absolutely.

Custom embroidered polos create another level of uniforming for your business and are considered the standard for almost every professional industry. Some companies can get away with outfitting their employees in branded custom t-shirts, but custom polos take everyone to the same level of professionalism and polish. As branded apparel continues to rank among the highest-performing promotional products—delivering some of the most impressions and highest perceived value—branded polos will continue to be a staple for businesses of all sizes, across every industry.

Custom Embroidered Polos with Your Logo

The industry standard for custom embroidered polos is an embroidered logo on the left chest—it’s timeless, clean, and doesn’t overpower the garment. The final cost of a custom polo is determined by the quality of the polo itself, the stitch count for your logo, and the number of embroidery locations you choose.

Beyond the left chest, common customization areas for branded custom polos include the sleeve, nape of the neck, or the right chest. If you’re creating a co-branded polo, it’s common to place the main logo on the left chest and the secondary logo on the right chest. If you want a more understated look, placing a logo just on the sleeve works beautifully. Sometimes you’ll be decorating polos that already have a stitched logo—like a Nike polo or an Adidas polo—and that helps determine the best placement for your custom embroidery.

Styles and Quality You Can Trust

Investing in premium branded apparel—especially custom polos—elevates your team’s look, boosts brand perception, and extends the life of your branded clothing. Higher-end fabrics create better fit, greater comfort, and longer durability, which means your employees will actually want to wear them. And when your team and even customers love what they’re wearing, they’ll rep your brand proudly, which equals more visibility for your promotional products investment.

Whether you’re looking for sporty custom polos or a more refined, professional look, we carry the brands that people trust. Some of the most popular options for branded custom polos include Under Armour, Eddie Bauer, OGIO, New Era, TravisMathew, Adidas, Cutter & Buck, Spyder, vineyard vines, and, of course, Nike. The right custom embroidered polo not only looks sharp but also becomes a long-term part of your branded apparel program.

Design Custom Polo Shirts

Corporate America has long played it “safe” with polos—solid colors, simple designs—but that’s changing. While many apparel suppliers have consolidated color options due to supply chain limitations, tops with prints and patterns are now breaking through. Solid polos remain the standard for the promotional products industry, but new styles keep coming out.

You can even create fully custom polos that are designed from scratch and dye-sublimated, allowing for an all-over print. Patches are becoming a regular customization option for polos, adding texture and dimension. Want to add a subtle upscale touch to your branded custom polos? Consider a custom woven label stitched to the sleeve or hem—it’s a small detail that can transform the look from simple to sophisticated.

Promotional Brand Growth from Polos

Polos aren’t always the product you sell directly at retail or hand out to every customer like a giveaway—but they are a cornerstone branded product for companies that want to stand out and look sharp. A branded custom polo signals professionalism and sets your business apart from the sea of competitors.

Investing in your brand—whether through promotional products, signage, or branded apparel like custom embroidered polos—isn’t just about looking good. It aligns your intentions with your presentation and helps transform your vision into reality. Every time an employee wears a branded polo, it reinforces your brand identity, both internally and externally.

Elevate Your Brand with Custom Polos

We’ve talked before about how branded apparel can make or break a brand’s perception. The same holds true for custom polos. Having a branded polo for your team versus not having one isn’t just about style—it shapes how customers see your company.

Polos also serve as a natural differentiator: office workers might stick to t-shirts, but field employees in branded polos send a stronger, more confident message. And when customers see that you’ve invested in a slightly higher-tier uniforming option like custom embroidered polos, their perception of your business goes up.

Whether you have three months before a big project or just a week and you need branded polos in a rush, we can help at Be Branded. From bulk orders to premium custom polo shirts, we’ll make sure your brand is represented the way it should be—professional, polished, and unforgettable.
