Blackout Tees began in 2009, offering custom screen printing and embroidery for schools, team apparel, and parody tees. In 2016, we proudly transitioned into serving union members and became signatory to the IBEW. All employees are proud members of IBEW Local 1347 in Milford, Ohio. Today, we specialize in high-quality, union-made, and USA-made apparel and merchandise for labor unions across the country.

We provide custom screen-printed and embroidered apparel, including t-shirts, hats, polos, jackets, and more. We also offer custom union-made stickers. Every product is either USA-made or union-made.
