A little over the top? Absolutely. But in all likelihood, if you’re as crazy about sports like us, you would’ve had the same freakout if the plug got pulled on your team’s big game. Just like these people did when their loved ones played a similar prank.

Anyways, back to the commercial, where the production company asked us to provide the principal character and the players on screen with football jerseys. Of course we obliged and what you see here is a lot of Sports Studio wardrobe.

For a taste of the lax action, check this out.

At Sports Studio, we don’t just carry your regular run of the mill jerseys, oh no. Our selection includes the odd, the loud and a smidgeon of ugly, after all we do stock over a million pieces in our warehouse.

For this shoot, we provided period youth baseball uniforms, which we made brighter with purple hats and matching socks. Sports Studio is here for all of your sports wardrobe needs– past and present from youth to the pros– we have it all.

This video featuring Sports Studio sports coordinator Mark Ellis and actor/lax consultant Jamison Koesterer was played on CBS Sports Network over the weekend. It boasts a plethora of lacrosse action, insight and great stories about how the movie came to be.

The video helps answer one of the most important questions we had to answer when we set out on our casting tour last May: Do we cast actors and teach them lacrosse or do we cast lacrosse players and teach them how to act?

In conjunction with the Jimmy V foundation, Depends hired the Packers’ Clay Matthews, the Patriots’ Wes Welker and the Cowboys’ DeMarcus Ware for The Great American Try-On. Rather than try to explain why these NFL stars are wearing diapers, we will let them tell you.

If they will wear ‘em, it should be good enough reason for you and I to try on a pair for the cause. If not for that, then at least for how good our custom uniforms look in the commercial.

And if you think the jerseys look good, we’re here to take the credit, well, most of the credit anyway. Our creative department worked with the production company to design these uniforms to look like the guys were practicing for the pro-bowl. Below is a sample mock-up that we ultimately used to manufacture the jerseys for the commercial.

In this case, we didn’t fabricate the jerseys from scratch. We altered existing garments, adding trim, numbers, lettering and stars cut from tackle twill to complete the look.

Not only did we deliver a quality product in a short time, we also sent our on set wardrobe consultant down to East LA College for the shoot to ensure that everyone was outfitted properly in their uniforms. As always, our on set wardrobe consultant did his job and did it well as you can see from the picture below.

If you look closely in the background, and we mean really closely,  you may notice that we placed Xenith helmets on the sidelines. An innovator in helmets, Xenith is taking strides to educate athletes as well as protect them from concussions.

Sports Studio: It’s been a pretty busy year this far, how many states have you cast athletes in?
Jessi Moore: LA and Atlanta seem to be the hot spots right now.

SS: You’re back on Necessary Roughness for Season 2, talk about what it’s like this time around.
JM: The show did really well last season, so they ordered 16 episodes this year. Everybody’s excited because we know we have a chance to be part of something great that will hopefully continue for several more seasons.

SS: What kind of new sports should we expect to see this season?
JM: Dr. Dani has her hands full so far! On Sports Studio Casting, We’ve cast Roller Derby, Professional and High School cheerleading, Baseball, and of course, lots of football players and coaches. And we’re only 6 episodes in!

SS: What else do you have on the horizon in terms of upcoming projects?
JM: Commercial season is starting to pick up, so we’re getting calls about projects in LA and other parts of the country as well. There may also be a few big football projects in the works as well…

SS: As the assistant sports coordinator for Sports Studio, if you could give advice to our database members on how to get cast, what would it be?

JM: Make sure your profile is as complete as possible. This includes multiple pictures- both action shots and current snapshots. We often book people just off of their profiles, so we need to know what you will look like when you show up on set.

Also, be sure to include your Top 3 sports positions- don’t just list them all! We know that you can probably play all over the field or court, but if this was an All-Star team, what would be your primary position? It’s also important to include achievements and schools/teams you played for. We do Google searches, so just be honest.

SS: What do you look for when you sort through profiles?

JM: Your profile picture is important. Whether it’s an action shot or a basic headshot, it should be an accurate representation of you. I also look at the Overview section. We want to know the people we are casting. You represent us on set, so show us a little of your personality.

SS:Any funny stories about guys showing up not looking like what’s in their profile?

JM: Absolutely. I’ve called people in for auditions and it was clear that their pictures were taken in their glory days. Since then, they’ve put on 30 pounds and have a huge bald spot. I’ve also seen a few clearly photoshopped photos- you can tell it’s their face on someone else’s body. And then it’s just awkward for everybody at the audition. Just be honest with yourselves.

And a lot of sports means a lot of new commercials.

This Dodge commercial has been running all over the place during hockey games.

Sports Studio provided the uniforms for the football and hockey scenes straight out of stock from our 20,000 sq. ft. warehouse in Culver City. With over a million items in stock, it’s no wonder why we’re Hollywood’s sports leader.

To see our jerseys in action, check out the gallery below.

Well, it was actually for The Dark Knight Rises. If you need a bit of a refresher course, check out our first post about the trailer.

Earlier this week, the third trailer came out and has more of our football than the first.

We should probably clarify, we designed the bears who were eating the blizzards. These bears-

Oops, our mistake. We didn’t design those bears eating blizzards, we created these Bears-

Our creative department worked with the stylist and the production company to create custom uniforms for the whole team from head to toe. As you can tell, we provided the client with several color and logo options for their approval.

Having worked with hundreds of clients on all sorts of design requests, our creative department is confident that we can satisfy any production’s custom sports needs.

And not only can we simply design the uniforms, we turn them into a reality as well, just as we did for this Dairy Queen ad.

For more info about our design work, check out some of our samples in our Creative Services Section of the website.
