I know a few brands/styles that discharge "well" in purple, but after a few washes they look pretty dull compared to the same brand/style in black or navy, and while a white may look acceptable, doing something like a bright yellow looks like mustardy crap.

Man, that billboard thing is everywhere. We've been getting requests, but don't really want to do it for short runs... Whose purple, Tony, or would you rather not say?

Not the most popular brand but Delta's purple has discharged really well for us.

We are doing this domestically for a different market using customized equipment with finished goods over the shoulder seams and, obviously, incorporating icons. Lets just say it is gathering some interest.
