Take a deep dive and learn everything and more you ever wanted to know about a Nudge Printing windbreaker.
My One Year at Nudge
I've worked at Nudge for a year. It's been wild.
New Year, New Universities

Nudge's 2020 In Review
Happy 2021, Nudge fans! If you're reading this, I am confident that you are relieved to have 2020 in your rear-view mirror (although 2021 hasn't exactly been a picnic, either [I hope you bought some GameStop stock]), but I wanted...
What's the Best Way to Care for My Nudge Apparel?
One of the questions we get most frequently is the best way to care for Nudge apparel in the laundry to ensure that it stays in almost-new condition for as long as possible. In a way, it makes me really...
Need Some Creative Inspiration?
I hope you all enjoyed your first full-ish weekend of college football! Although only one Nudge team won (Go Army!), it was still wildly refreshing to see college football on my TV at home. I watched the Army and Texas...
Football Season!
Currently, it is upper 60s to low 70s; the sun sits powerfully in the sky, warming everything it touches except the breeze, which whips through the trees and kicks leaves off of the ground, evening out all of the work...
Introducing Our New Collection of Hoodies
If you interviewed 100 people from Michigan, I think 98 of them would say their favorite weather is "hoodie & shorts" weather, which is hard to describe using a thermometer or a forecast; you just feel it. The other 2...
Our New One-Color T-shirts!
What are the most beloved paintings in the world? Mona Lisa? Starry Night? Girl with a Pearl Earring?  As someone who has never taken an art history or art appreciation course and can't doodle much more than a balloon and maybe...
New Product Alert: Northern Michigan University Torch
Keep those t-shirt presses hot because we've got another awesome design coming down! Introducing our first ever piece of apparel for Northern Michigan University: the university seal torch design!  We've only ever done decals and miscellany for Northern Michigan but...
New Product Alert: Fire Up Chips!
I am writing this with great sadness in my heart because we were set to release this awesome Central Michigan t-shirt for football season but over the weekend, the MAC announced that they would not be playing football in 2020...
New Licensing Partners: Old Dominion and Saginaw Valley State
As Nudge continues its slow path towards world licensing dominance, we are happy to announce two more colleges for whom we are licensed vendors: Saginaw Valley State University and Old Dominion University! Saginaw Valley State is just a short drive...
How Do I Apply My Cornhole Decal?
Are you wondering how to apply your cornhole decals?
New Licensing Partner: US Naval Academy
The Nudge family continues to grow! Over the July 4th weekend, we signed a contract with the US Naval Academy to be a licensed vendor for their products, making them the 28th license in our collection (and hopefully many more...
National Mascot Day!
I struggled mightily to find a greeting card at the store for this landmark holiday, but I had no luck. Hopefully this blog will do. Today is National Mascot Day, which "celebrates the fun, sometimes feathery or furry creatures who...
What are Nudge's Top Selling Schools?
In continuing the momentum from last week's Top Selling MSU Products blog, I wanted to shed more of a national light on Nudge's slowly growing apparel empire. In addition to Michigan State and the state of Michigan car decals, cornhole...

What Are Our Top Selling MSU Products?
Nudge has been around probably longer than you'd believe. When I was first hired on, I was shocked to learn that we've been in business since 2011, originally selling strictly XL Wall Decals that you learned about in my most...
Applying Your Nudge Printing Wall Decal
My wife and I just moved into our new house (closing and moving during a quarantine and pandemic was interesting to say the least but we made it!), and now that we are fully unpacked, the fun part is here:...
How Our T-Shirts are Produced
A great thing about college sports is that each shirt or decal that someone buys will have a personal meaning behind it. That's what I love the most about college athletics; I feel that fans are more loyal to their...
You've Got Your Cornhole Decal...Now What?
It's a little odd to be talking about cornhole and summer-time games when it is snowing outside, but here we are.  When our stay-at-home order was first announced, I posted a short guide on how to make your own cornhole...
