Get ready for the great British Summer with Your Logo Here

Make sure you are prepared for any weather eventuality this Summer from the team at Your Logo Here

Rain
 

With the great British Summer already cracking the flags and causing government ministers to consider hosepipe bans (perhaps come September if the sun finally makes a prolonged appearance), the team at Your Logo Here have been busy making all the necessary contingency plans for bands.

Don't be caught out

Now's the time to ensure you will never be caught out in a squall, torrential downpour, hailstorm or freezing cold-snap, with bespoke shower and windproof soft-shell jackets beautifully embroidered with you band logo.

Even better though — and sure to put a Summer smile on the face, is the price — from just £28.00 + VAT.

So why not hedge your bets, get your orders in early and make sure you don't get soaked on your Summer jobsYour Logo Here

Don't get soaked

So why not hedge your bets, get your orders in early and make sure you don't get soaked on your Summer jobs.

It's never a bad idea to beat the odds…
