ARES Sportswear has been screenprinting Gildan T-shirts and Sweatshirts since the company was founded in 1995. In 2017, ARES Sportswear became one of the few screenprinting and embroidery companies in the USA approved to purchase directly from Gildan instead of going through a blank apparel distributor (middle man). This allowed ARES Sportswear to become one of the first — and few — screenprinters that can purchase directly through the “Big 3” t-shirt manufactures – Gildan, Fruit of the Loom, and Hanes.   Â
