This cute "mini" apparel was spotted at the Ideas and Inspiration Tour. It was eye-catching, and sitting next to Cap America caps, it was a great way to showcase the Blue Generation and Cap America Strategic Partnership. These are two outstanding supplier companies with long histories of focusing on sustainability and doing the right thing. As we have seen with Redwood Classics Apparel and Vantage Apparel, it's another brilliant strategic partnership that benefits distributors. This partnership marks a pivotal moment for our business," said Matt Rubin, director of strategy at Blue Generation. "It's an opportunity to deliver even greater value to customers seeking customized apparel and headwear solutions. Together, we're raising the bar for branded merchandise." "Teaming up with Blue Generation is a strategic move that allows us to expand our reach and collaborate with a company that shares our commitment to excellence," said Cap America CEO Mark Gammon.
