UAH Apparel Guidelines

The following guidelines are provided to make the purchase of UAH-branded clothing easier and to reflect the policies followed by both Procurement and the OMC.

Colors of Fabric

The following fabric colors are approved from the USA Gildan Color Guide:

For Student Organizations

For UAH Administrative Offices, Colleges, and Departments

Comfort Colors

Please request a sample for any heather or comfort color blue, as they tend to be either too dark or too light. If another fabric color is desired, please contact the OMC.

Colors of Ink

All ink colors can be found on the UAH Logo and Brand Guidelines. Primary colors are for the logo and secondary colors are for accents. In cases of full color photo reproduction or artwork depicting patriotic symbols, additional colors can be utilized as per your artwork. If additional ink colors are desired, please contact the OMC.

Fonts

While Red Hat Text is the preferred university brand font, fonts accompanying specific event artwork can be representative of the event design.

UAH Student Organization Signature Elements

Some organizations have developed artwork over the years that has come to be recognized as a logo or a unifying theme. If an organization desires to use that theme as a graphic element on a shirt, a 3-inch UAH logo with the name underneath must also be placed on the shirt. 

National fraternities, sororities, and academic organizations have long-standing shields, crests, and colors that they must represent. These do not fall under the t-shirt ink guidelines, but they must follow the fabric guidelines.

If you have any questions regarding your organization's or the university's brand identification on apparel, please contact us at omc@uah.edu.

Artwork Requirements

Any artwork or off-campus logos presented by a college, department, or campus organization must be provided in vector art at the time of the design request.

If the college, department, or campus organization cannot supply the vector art, the OMC will recreate the required artwork for $150.00.

The required time to recreate the non-vector supplied artwork cannot be estimated until the OMC can determine the complexity of the design and the number of colors chosen.

As long as the OMC can see the design prior to printing and not as the last step prior to payment to a vendor, we are happy to work with any organization to make sure that they receive the artwork they desire.
