Our History
Blackout Tees is a USA- and union-made apparel company, proudly serving the IBEW community and union workers nationwide. Based in Milford, Ohio—built by union hands, for union hearts. Unlike corporate print shops, we’re powered by IBEW members who understand the job site, the tradition, and the pride behind each stitch.
We focused on schools offering spiritwear, team apparel, sporting goods, and also parody-type shirts. Specializing in IBEW-branded clothing, we also provide custom screen printing, custom stickers, and embroidery for locals, events, and union organizations. Whether you need gear for the site or union pride wear, shop online or contact us for personalized service and union-approved gear.
We offer:
-
Screen Printing & Embroidery
Custom design services for polos, t-shirts, hoodies, and caps—all printed or embroidered in-house with union craftsmanship and USA materials.
-
Union-Made Apparel
Every garment—from tees to outerwear and stickers—is either USA-made or union-made, meeting the same high standards you demand on the job.
-
Union-Tailored Service
