FROM HERE. FOR YOUR PEOPLE.

Black Cape Breton Roots cap concept with a smaller coastal tree badge

AN ISLAND IS
A SMALL WORLD.

TRADIES UNITED originated in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. This collection direction starts with the people who teach you a skill, lend you a tool, and turn up when the job is bigger than you thought.

It’s pride in where you come from, carried wherever the work takes you. The Cape Breton Roots badge carries a windswept coastal tree, rocky shore and sea. Its clean lettering keeps the island at the centre of this heritage collection.

Two new hat directions explore that identity: multicolour embroidery and a simplified-colour PVC patch. Both are future merchandise concepts, with final badge size, fit and production details still to be sampled. Warm cream, forest green and slate blue hoodie ideas carry the same coastal-tree identity.

02 / SIMPLIFIED-COLOUR PVC

The Roots Cap · PVC

The same island identity in four main colours: cream, black, green and blue. Broader shapes and raised lettering give the coastal tree a clean moulded-patch treatment.

Moulded PVC patch concept. Final colours, relief depth, badge size, backing and attachment need a supplier proof and physical sample.

Concept imagery, not photographs of manufactured samples. Cap material, fit, final artwork, production method, pricing and release date are still to be confirmed.
