BYD at The Michigan State University Annual Apparel & Promotional Product Vendor Fair

October 15, 2024

Last Thursday, we had the pleasure of attending the Michigan State University Annual Apparel & Promotional Product Vendor Fair, and what a day it was! From reconnecting with familiar faces to meeting new people from all corners of campus, we felt right at home among the Spartans. After all, Matt is a Spartan Alumni. The turnout was incredible, and we’re grateful for everyone who stopped by our booth to check out what we offer.


Some of the biggest hits of the day were our full-color hair ties, embroidered key tags, and the many options of dye-sublimated apparel. Our custom stickers flew off the table, and the Tide To-Go Pens were an unexpected favorite—because, let’s face it, who doesn’t need a quick fix for spills? We also saw a lot of interest in our challenge coins, which sparked great conversations with campus clubs and departments looking for unique ways to commemorate their achievements.


We’re thrilled with how the day turned out and excited about the new connections we made. It was wonderful to showcase what Behind Your Design can do, and as an MSU alum, it’s always special to return to campus and contribute to this vibrant community.



Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello and learn more about our services. We’re excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to collaborating with many of you in the future!

A great staff appreciation gift should be thoughtful, useful and connected to the organization. For the Crim Fitness Foundation , custom reverse umbrellas combined function with standout branding.

Branded Inside and Out The outside features the Crim Fitness Foundation logo and brand colors. Open the umbrella, and custom artwork of runners making their way through Flint is revealed inside.

Custom jerseys are a fun way to take spirit wear beyond the standard T-shirt or sweatshirt. With fully customizable designs, they can be created around your school, team, organization or event and made to feel completely unique. At Behind Your Design, we can customize jerseys with your colors, logos, graphics, names, numbers and more. Full-color dye sublimation gives you plenty of freedom to create bold designs across the entire jersey while keeping the finished piece comfortable and wearable. We’ve created several custom jersey styles for our clients, including football and baseball jerseys for Michigan State University Fall Fest. Each offered a different look while giving MSU a memorable piece of custom spirit wear that still felt true to their brand.
