- 2026-05-06 11:29 [steward:13/ingest/market_research:27]: Ingested market_research #27 (Merch T-Shirt Color & Blank Research — 2025-2026). Defined new concept merch-heavyweight-blank-standard (mechanism): the merch market has moved decisively off Gildan; 6+ oz garment-dyed blanks are now table stakes. Dominant blanks — LA Apparel 1801GD (the cultural standard, 6.5 oz), Shaka Wear SHGDD (7.5 oz heavyweight), Comfort Colors 1717 (best garment-dye color range), AS Colour 5069 (smoothest print surface). Color shift to earth tones (olive, sand, vintage black, charcoal, rust); pastels (milky blue, lavender, butter yellow) the 2026 growth lane. Print: white ink on dark stays the workhorse, puff ink is the trend-defining technique. Strategic implication for the-pack merch drops: LA Apparel 1801GD garment-dyed in olive/sand/vintage-black with puff-ink Kismet logo.
