Champion product catalog

Look through the Champion products catalog below by clicking on the image. Choose the product you would like to offer and start thinking about the embroidered design element you’d like to add.

Design rules

Please review the design rules carefully below before you submit your application. If you submit a design that does not follow the rules below, we’ll have to reject your submission. 

• Your design cannot feature the Champion logo or wordmark 
• If you would not like to use our design services and have your own design, you must submit designs in PNG format with a DPI of 150 or higher 
• Your design must not contain any offensive imagery or text including references to politics, alcohol, tobacco, nudity, swear words, etc.
• Designs must comply with Spring’s Intellectual Property and Acceptable Use policies.

How it works

1) Apply for branded products 

To get started, fill your details via the form linked at the top of the blog. We’ll review your application and ensure your profile matches with Champion’s requirements. 

Once you’re approved, we’ll send a link for you to pay a deposit of $200. After this is paid, we can begin the process.

2) Bring your ideas to life with Spring’s design team

After you’ve paid your deposit, you’ll be sent a form to let us know what you’re imagining for your embroidery design. Before completing the form, ensure you’ve read through and understand the guidelines below: 

Once you’ve submitted the form, our professional design team will create an embroidery design for your drop. This usually takes up to two weeks (dependent on revisions needed. 3 are included with your deposit, any further are $50 each).

3) Receive your first sample

Once you’ve approved the design prototype, we’ll embroider it onto your chosen Champion product. We’ll then photograph it and send it to you for your approval. The sampling process usually takes around a week. 

After you’ve approved, we’ll ship it to you and notify you once it’s on its way—delivery can take up to a week or anywhere from 1- 4 weeks for international shipping (outside of US).

4) Photograph your sample, prepare to go live

When your sample arrives, it’s a good idea to photograph yourself wearing it. Send finished imagery to unlockd@spri.ng for us to include them in your listing (this gets more sales).

In the meantime, we’ll check there’s enough inventory available to go live and get your listing ready. When you’re ready to go, head to the “Listings” tab in your Spring dashboard and change your campaign’s visibility settings to “public”. Edit the product price if you wish.

From the day you set your listing to public, the pre-sale campaign will be live for your fans to purchase for two weeks.

5) Meet your MOQ with these promo tips

As soon as you set your listing to “public”, you have 14 days to sell 50 units to meet the MOQ (minimum order quantity). Ensure you have promo content ready to post on social media

6) Merch gets shipped, you get paid

Once your 2 week pre-sale campaign is over and you’ve successfully reached 50 sales, we’ll remove your listing and end the campaign (If the MOQ is not met for any item, that campaign item will be canceled, and orders will be refunded). Here’s whats next:

• Typically, production and fulfillment takes up to 2 weeks. Shipping timelines will depend on the shipping method your fans choose at checkout and where they are in the world. 
• Collect your profits from the Payouts section of your account once your branded products have been shipped. We’ll notify you once they’re ready to be cashed out.

Promotional rules for branded products

We know you’ll be excited to share these products with fans and followers and we encourage you to promote these products through all promotional channels.

However, because you are accessing products through Spring’s Brand Partnership Program, and not directly through the brand, there are strict stipulations to acceptable promotional language and graphics that can be used. Any Spring creator who uses this language will have their listing suspended and lose access to Branded products as well as Spring’s Brand Partnership Program in general.
