LS Custom’s role
Production partner within the brand ecosystem
The challenge
A personal brand has to feel personal.
A name on a blank shirt is only a starting point. The product, artwork and presentation need to reflect the person behind the brand—and give their audience a reason to care.
DMP’s brand guideline sets that expectation clearly: considered design, personal service and a close working relationship. The challenge for merchandise is carrying that identity from a visual idea into something people can wear.
Different roles. One connected program.
Digital Merch Pros
DMP presents a service spanning brand strategy, merchandise, ecommerce, launches and fulfillment for athletes and creators. Its role is to bring the brand and commercial experience together.
LS Custom
LS Custom is the production company within this connected ecosystem. For a new program, the team reviews the selected products, artwork, quantities and decoration requirements before confirming the production scope.
One identity, across the collection.
The DMP design system uses its own monogram and blue palette across apparel and digital applications. The examples below come directly from the supplied brand guideline.
Athlete and agency perspective

Protect the details
Bring your brand guidelines, approved logo and intended use. Product selection and decoration should reinforce your identity across the pieces you choose.
Plan the whole program
Think beyond the first shirt: staff apparel, event merchandise, customer gifts and future orders. A clear brief helps the production team understand how those pieces fit together.
This case study documents the brand ecosystem and supplied creative examples. It makes no claim about sales, order volume or a measured business outcome.
