Outlook

It said: “After a very successful first half with net sales exceeding 500 million Swiss francs, we remain confident in our ability to execute our growth strategy in the second half of 2022 despite the uncertainties and continuing macroeconomic challenges.

“We currently anticipate limited impacts from these macroeconomic uncertainties on demand for our products. Nonetheless, we see it as our duty to remain cautious and alert in such an environment and have taken some steps to increase our cost base somewhat more conservatively than initially expected.

“The first half of 2022 had been further impacted by transient supply shortages following factory closures in 2021. Thanks to the dedication and commitment of our factory partners, our stock situation has meanwhile improved. considerably improved. Thus, the use of air freight should be reduced in the second half of the year. We will continue to selectively use air freight to ensure availability of our more recently launched products, which did not have an initial stock position. From there, we expect a limited headwind to our gross profit margin of 150 to 200 basis points in Q3 2022.

“Given the current macroeconomic challenges as well as the very successful first half of 2022, we are increasing our outlook for net sales and adjusted EBITDA. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we now expect net sales to reach 1.1 billion Swiss francs, representing 52% year-over-year growth compared to 2021. The increase in expected net sales will enable additional growth-oriented investments in the brand while increasing our adjusted EBITDA target for the full year at CHF 145 million, confirming our objective of an adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.2% even with a significantly high sales outlook. under IFRS, we only provide guidance on a non-IFRS basis The Company does not provide a reconciliation between forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and IFRS net income due to the inherent difficulty in predicting and quantifying certain amounts necessary for such a reconciliation. Accordingly, we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty all of the deductions necessary to provide a reconciliation to net income. »

In this case, for a group of four, $1,200.

This includes green fees, use of the golf cart, packed lunch, on-course refreshments, player meet-and-greet dinner, and a donation to the Illini Guardians name/image/likeness liaison group.

On August 26, Urbana Country Club will host the inaugural NIL Golf Open, featuring several top Illinois athletes and coaches. One ticket pays for four golfers, who will team up with one of the Illini.

“Golf is something we thought we could do to help community members engage with athletes,” said Lindsay Quick, who works on community engagement for Campus Ink.

The clothing store has carved a niche for itself in the local name, image and likeness scene, creating custom merchandise and managing student-athlete brands. The company has partnered with Gameday Spirit to create and sell near-replica jerseys with player names on them, at stores and sports venues like the State Farm Center.

On July 29, Campus Ink held a “birthday party” for Clark, a freshman guard who signed autographs for the fans in attendance.

“NIL has completely transformed our business, it’s a great way to show support for student-athletes,” Koss said. “We want to dive in head first and get as much money as possible for these athletes.”

Once September rolls around, Maryville football fans can see the Bearcats take to the field on Saturday dressed in that classic green and white.

After months of training and preparation, countless film sessions and practices, the players are finally ready, but not without help. In the background, during these months, there is another group of people working to get the team back on the pitch. This is the Northwestern Missouri State Equipment Department.

Making sure the players look good is definitely a plus, but more importantly, the equipment department has to make sure the Bearcats are safe. Player safety has been paramount in the world of college football in recent years.

Tucker Peve has been director of equipment operations at Northwest since 2018, and he describes his department as one of the “teams behind the team.”

“We just try to raise the bar every year and put the team in a position to win games,” Peve said.

Peve has been with the department for eight years, working as a student manager while earning his undergraduate degree in business management and then earning his master’s degree in applied health and sport science. He’s excited for the 2022 season and can’t wait for Bearcat fans to see the new apparel, helmets and uniforms, and everything else they’ve been working on.

Outside of his work with Northwest, Peve worked as a part-time equipment assistant for the Kansas City Chiefs, was on the Pro-Bowl staff, and interned with the Baltimore Ravens. It’s now become almost a tradition for equipment staff to do internships for NFL teams. All of Peve’s five student interns have one of those internships this summer, along with one of his graduate assistants, Will Walker, who is enjoying his time with the Ravens before returning to Maryville.

“I just finished my first week with the Ravens for training camp, and I really enjoyed working at the NFL level,” Walker said. “The Ravens have done a great job making me feel at home. I’m excited for the rest of training camp.

Once back with the Bearcats in the fall, Walker is excited about the road trips where they can work to make sure the team feels at home. He feels like Peve and the rest of the staff helped prepare him for the next level.

“From the day I submitted my resume, Tucker has helped me every step of the way,” Walker said. “With all the knowledge he imparted to me, it prepared me much better to take the next step in a training camp like I am today.”

Outside of the NFL, another Northwestern gear graduate has found success in the industry. Former student-manager Brady Archer is now assistant director of equipment operations at USC, where he previously worked at TCU as a graduate assistant.

“Tucker showed me a lot of things honestly. He really showed me my passion for the industry,” Archer said. “He cares so much about his students, and also the players.”

Archer never knew he wanted to get into the equipment industry until he got to college. Now working at the Power Five Division I school, he is ready to take the next step in his career.

Jacks of PNG sealed a two-year merchandise partnership which saw PNGOC award the supplier the licensing rights to its Team PNG brand to manufacture, advertise and distribute Team PNG merchandise apparel for the two-year period.

The merchandising agreement allows PNGOC to supply its Team PNG brand to Jacks of PNG to create an agreed range of Team PNG supporter apparel for the public to purchase at all Jacks of PNG outlets.

In addition to the license agreement, Jacks of PNG has also pledged in-kind sponsorship to PNGOC worth 100,000K over the two-year period (2022-2023).

The value-in-kind sponsorship covers the PNG team’s outing uniforms and accessories at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games in 2022 and the Solomon Islands Pacific Games in 2023, in addition to board and staff uniforms. the organization.

Welcoming the partnership, PNGOC General Secretary Auvita Rapilla said, “Jacks PNG joined us last year to sponsor the PNG Team Coming Out Uniform for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. , and we’re thrilled to see this partnership expand to include merchandise from the PNG team.”

Rapilla acknowledged and thanked Jacks of PNG Board for trusting the Team PNG brand and taking on this new challenge, to market and promote Team PNG products to the public despite the ongoing pandemic environment, which had made it possible to secure sponsorship within the company. landscape in PNG difficult.

“Jacks of PNG identified with our Team PNG brand and values. This partnership will allow the general public to share in the pride of the nation by donning the colors of Team PNG branded apparel to support the multi-sport events we travel to and attend each year.

“Now you too can support Team PNG by visiting your nearest Jacks of PNG store and purchasing your own official PNG Team supporter merchandise,” Rapilla said.

City Pharmacy Limited Group Managing Director Navin Raju said it was a great honor for his Jacks of PNG brand to partner with PNGOC.

They look forward to new creative collaborations to create value and build on the existing Team PNG signature brand that will connect and resonate with all Papua New Guineans and Team PNG supporters.

Raju added, “Having this sponsorship will greatly help PNGOC as 2023 will be a big year due to the Pacific Games, which will be held in Honiara, Solomon Islands, where the PNG team will send a large contingent.”

The name, image and likeness deals were appropriately celebrated after the NCAA announced it was finally allowing people who made them billions of dollars to get paid, too. As crazy as it sounds, the NIL offerings are a big step up from what used to be the norm. Unfortunately, the gluttons at the table do not even give up the crumbs that fall from the edge of their mouths and are content to send children to scrounge what they can.

Some partnerships are perfectly harmless with local businesses sponsoring an athlete because his name is ideal for an HVAC spokesperson. Bryce Young deserves the money he’s making from the NIL deals, and he’s doing so well that Alabama is getting in on the action. With so much money to be made legitimately, the frenzy has attracted the sharks.

A court ruling last year allowed agencies to offer players cash upfront in exchange for a percentage of future winnings. The speculative investing strategy has been around for a while, according to the CBS Sports article. Young golfers do it, and it’s been happening in boxing for decades.

Now, Big League Advantage (BLA) is approaching college athletes — who don’t have a fancy enough name, a garish enough skill set, or a high enough position to earn a truckload of NIL money — cash. in advance for a song on the backend. While the article stated that BLA had yet to make a profit, all it needed to do was hit a few leads to turn the tide. The company’s most prominent client, Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr., signed a 14-year, $310 million contract a year ago, and BLA got between 1 and 15 percent (the window of his current rate) of that contract.

My issue is not the risk of investing in teens, nor how often the student-athlete will be the sole beneficiary of this deal. What angers me is that these kids shouldn’t have to choose between cash for a percentage of their future income, or nothing. If Georgia All-SEC preseason linebacker and BLA client Nolan Smith Jr. was on UGA’s books and still wanted to give up points on what could be a long and lucrative NFL career , Go for it.

That said, which college football player demographic is most likely to need some JG Wentworth 877-Cash-Now crap? Hint: This is the most popular demo in sports.

The fact that speculative investing has existed in boxing for ages should ring alarm bells. The BLA may not be Don King scamming Mike Tyson out of generational wealth, but may be taking millions out of athletes’ pockets because they’re not marketable enough for a NIL deal and can’t afford to wait for an NFL payday is the kind of scenario made avoidable by the NCAA paying its workforce.

The Crimson Tide adopts the Green Wave

Speaking of outcomes that should be avoided, how is Alabama allowed to sell NIL gear at Bryant-Denny Stadium? The university has partnered with Fanatics to create the Authentic, a new in-stadium store that will feature licensed team apparel as well as NIL merchandise.

I guess the biggest draw of the outlet won’t be an autographed football but rather the shirts with the names on the back, which are still not allowed to be sold directly by schools, of all the issues, name and resemblance hiccups.

The first thing Bama should have done once he decided to make a bunch of no-name No. 9 jerseys is quit, add Young on his back, and pay the Heisman winner a portion of the profits. Tide’s NIL Shop is sure to be replicated by countless schools and hailed as a way to directly support their student-athletes.

And as altruistic as these colleges make them seem, do you think they’re going to stop taking a cut of the sales because of a name on the back when their name is on the front? The NCAA allows all of these rules and loopholes to grow because they know they can’t tell student-athletes enough is enough when they’ve never sheathed their greed.

These exceptions aren’t enough, however, and they create chaos as children try to capitalize by any means necessary – leading to borderline predatory tactics and ethical puzzles that won’t stop (or at least only slightly relieve themselves) than when student-athletes are on the college payroll.

Fanatics and the University of Alabama announced a long-term, multi-faceted partnership that includes a wide range of exclusive rights to UA for activation by Fanatics on its expanded digital sports platform. This comprehensive partnership spans multiple categories, including core licensing rights for fan apparel and headwear, e-commerce, in-stadium retail, physical and digital trading cards and collecting rights.

Fanatics is a long-time partner of the university, operating the official e-commerce destination for the Alabama Department of Athletics at Shop.RollTide.com, as well as the permanent ranking of top-selling licensees for products. Crimson Tide.

Several companies within Fanatics’ digital sports platform will execute this new end-to-end collegiate partnership model, including Fanatics Commerce and Fanatics Collectibles; Topps, the legendary trading card brand, and Candy Digital, a next-generation digital collectibles company.

The expanded partnership will allow UA to capitalize on Fanatics merchandising platforms to create, promote and distribute Alabama merchandise featuring the name, likeness and likeness (NIL) rights of Crimson Tide student-athletes. As a cornerstone of the deal, Fanatics will launch The Authentic, the first retail team store inside Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Scheduled to launch during the 2022 college football season, the one-of-a-kind fan store will feature a sizable assortment of officially licensed team apparel and student-athlete NIL merchandise, including Nike player jerseys personalized, personalized name and number t-shirts. , headwear, official in-game memorabilia, and Topps’ on-demand digital trading cards.

The Authentic retail space will create opportunities for Crimson Tide student-athletes to provide autographed memorabilia, host meet and greets with fans, and conduct social media marketing campaigns to support the sales of their NIL products. Fanatics will work with OneTeam Partners to obtain group licensing rights for activating NIL rights to merchandise, in addition to separate marketing and autograph partnerships.

Starting in 2025, Fanatics Collectibles will be the university’s exclusive trading card partner. Candy Digital will be creating digital collectibles and NFTs of some former Alabama greats and current Crimson Tide student-athletes.

The dye sublimated clothing market size was USD 4.48 billion in 2020 and is expected to register a CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period.

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, USA, July 27, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Dye-sublimated apparel market is expected to be valued at USD 9.19 billion by 2028 from USD 4.48 billion in 2020, registering a CAGR of 9.5% until the estimated lead time. The growth of the industry is driven by the increasing demand for fashionable clothes among the young population and the increasing consumer inclination towards automation. Sublimation of garments refers to the modification of existing garments in various forms of pants, t-shirts, cotton fabrics, shirts, etc., according to new fashions, using dye/ink. In the process, the ink is first digitally printed on a paper and then the printed image is printed or transferred onto a fabric material using heat. This technique is known as thermal sublimation. This impression applies mainly to several rigid and fabric materials. Numerous and unlimited colors are widely used to dye clothes. The dye sublimation technique on a wide range of clothing materials or garments is becoming popular due to its advanced and high quality photographic results.

Rising spending on various custom garments with printed graphics as well as gradient tones is mainly fueling the growth of the sector. The demand for products is increasing due to the growing popularity of online retailers. Retailers all over the world are especially venturing into online retailing as a large number of consumers in both developed and developing countries strongly prefer digital marketplaces for purchasing products.

The global textile industry has experienced a major downfall with the pandemic outbreak all over the world. The requirement for fashionable clothes has come to a halt due to the sudden imposition of lockdown, globally. Businesses, including shopping malls and clothing stores, have been ordered by the government to close. With restricted movements and social distancing rules, consumers are forced to avoid visiting such places in order to prevent the spread of the virus. These factors significantly hamper the growth of the sector.

Cam Johnson’s second annual CJ23 Invitational 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament will take place this weekend, July 30-31, at Ability360 at 5031 E. Washington Street in Phoenix.

Last year’s inaugural tournament was held in Moon Township, Pa., where Johnson grew up before becoming one of the NBA’s top 3-point shooters for the Phoenix Suns.

There are two tournaments – high school (13-17) and adult (18+) – this weekend as each team must have at least five players (three players and two substitutes).

Each of the five players on the winning team in each bracket will win a Johnson-signed jersey and a straight ticket to a “pre-determined Suns game” for the upcoming 2022-23 season.

Games will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Admission is $5.

Spectators can donate a pair of sneakers for Saturday admission.

RESHOEVN8R, a shoe cleaning company in Phoenix, Phoenix Suns Charities and Brittney Griner Heart and Sole Shoe Drive are teaming up for the shoe drive.

The Many Worlds Apparel & Sneaker store, located at 4524 N 7th St in Phoenix, is accepting shoe donations this week. Store hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 7 p.m. from Friday to Sunday.

Donated shoes will go to Phoenix Rescue Mission.

Johnson was featured in a RESHOEVN8R ad this year that altered the classic black and white Nike Air Jordan ads featuring Michael Jordan and Spike Lee to promote the Reshoevn8r sneaker cleaner.

Like Jordan, Johnson wears number 23 and played college ball in North Carolina where he also wore the number.

Johnson began his college career at Pitt.

The 6-8 forward finished third in NBA Sixth Man of the Year voting in the final 2021-22 season after hitting career highs in nearly every statistical category by helping the Suns win a franchise record 64 games in a regular season.

• Games played – 66
• Games started – 16
• Minutes per game – 26.2
• Points per game – 12.5 ppg.
• Field goal percentage – 46%
• 3 point percentage – 42.5%
• Free throw percentage – 86%
• Rebounds per game – 4.1 rpg.
• Assists per game – 1.5.
• Flights per game – 0.9.

A first-round pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, Johnson is eligible for a rookie extension.

Johnson is entering the fourth and final year of his first rookie contract.

• Discuss this story on the Northwoods League bulletin board…

The views expressed in this release are those of the organization that issued it and do not necessarily reflect the thoughts or opinions of OurSports Central or its staff.

Opinion

Note: This story has been updated to note opposition to this proposed project by members of the Chinatown community.

This morning, the Sixers unveiled their vision for a new sports arena that they own and can control.

And with their 76 Place at Market East proposal, they’ve found a win-win.

The first victory is for Market East itself. The public and private investment that has gone into what was once the city’s largest mall has failed to restore its former glory, and the recent transformation of the Gallery mall into Philadelphia’s Fashion District has also failed to live up to its advance billing. This totally private venture brings with it the possibility of more people coming to both Market East and the Fashion District – and since the Sixers are paying for the experience, we’ll be able to see how more and more customers of the coin-operated arena drop in surrounding businesses (if only).

The second victory is for the fans who come to these events. The Sixers cited New York’s Madison Square Garden as an example of what they want to emulate with this arena. This arena sits right above the busiest passenger train station in the country, as well as two major metro lines. This will also be located directly atop a central regional rail station and a stop on the city’s busiest metro line.

Two other similarly located arenas – Boston’s TD Garden and Washington’s Capital One Arena – do not cause massive traffic congestion on event days as many patrons use public transportation to get there. Even more customers are expected to use public transport to get to this arena, as it will have direct all-weather domestic connections to nine public transport stations, including one on the PATCO Lindenwold Line. This will give this facility something that no other sports or concert venue in this region has: one-seat travel from just about any point in the region, the holy grail of the transport planner in common.

(Of course, that’s assuming runners will take the trains to the games. The direct connections should make more of them choose to ride rather than drive to 76 Place rather than the sports complex in the south of Philadelphia, but SEPTA will need to increase both its operations and its marketing games to maximize that number.)

Three of these nine stations will require fans to pass through the Fashion District mall, which will also benefit from this project. The former Gallery II mall, which this arena will replace, never functioned properly due to a flawed design from the start. The Fashion District makeover compensated for these flaws with its placement of entertainment hotspots at its highest; this ensured that more people would be willing to take the escalators to that level. But Round 1 and the AMC theaters combined won’t bring as many people to the mall as this arena would.

The proposed arena site will have the best transit access of any sport facility or event venue in the city

Not to mention that with a little thoughtful interior design, the arena could still function as an extension of the mall. Fan amenities like clothing stores, bars and restaurants could stay open when the arena isn’t hosting events to serve mall visitors, for example. Similarly, some of the arena lobbies could contain retail stores that would serve mall customers as well as event fans.

Even the Chinatown neighbors of the Sixers’ new arena could enjoy it. At least its many restaurant and bar owners should. And since the transit lines will siphon off much of the rest of the traffic, it shouldn’t weigh heavily on the neighborhood’s narrow streets the way the Phillies’ proposed ballpark might have. It also won’t stifle Chinatown’s room for growth, as it replaces an existing barrier rather than adding a new one.

However, a coalition of Chinatown community members and organizations today announced they are forming to resist the proposal. The coalition says it has not been contacted by the 76ers despite the significant impact the project would have on the community. In a press release, Steven Zhu, president of the Chinese Restaurant Association, cited the negative impact that DC’s NBA arena has had on that city’s Chinatown, adding “we know that these large sports arenas don’t contribute to the neighborhoods in which they are located; they only serve their own needs and their own profits. These concerns are important and will need to be addressed.

In other ways, at least, the Sixers seem to signal a willingness to make communities around the arena partners in its success. The development team includes Mosaic Development Partners, one of the city’s most successful and creative social impact development firms, led by two black entrepreneurs. And the Sixers say they intend to draft community benefit agreements with its neighbors.

Finally, this proposal is a victory for the town hall and Harrisburg, because the Sixers will not ask for a red penny of support for it. They spend their own money to build it, which is what every sports team owner should do.

Indoor arenas are used more – and more intensively – than football stadiums or even baseball stadiums, and 76 Place would certainly have a year-round calendar of events and activities. Even cities with weaker public transit networks have found that downtown sports arenas provide significant benefits – look at Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston or even Kansas City, whose downtown arena is not home to no major league sports team. Since it would bring so many people downtown and it wouldn’t cost us anything unless we bought tickets to events, this very well thought out proposal deserves our support.

The American League All-Stars sported an unusual look in Tuesday’s game: dark charcoal gray uniforms, in stark contrast to the stark whites worn by the NL All-Stars.

“I love them,” Luis Arraez said. “I love that the ‘Minnesota’ is gold so it looks special.” He also appreciated the subtle touch of the star next to the TC logo on his matching gray cap, acknowledging his achievement.

However, not everyone is a fan of annual uniform remakes from clothing company Nike. Many fans prefer the traditional look of each player wearing their team’s regular season uniform.

But the commissioner Rob Manfred defended the uniform choices ahead of Tuesday’s game, telling reporters that “I never thought that a baseball team wearing different jerseys in a game was a particularly attractive look.”

Also, he said, the goal is to use uniforms and other changes to attract more casual fans. “It’s important to develop things like that, to make the game look a bit different,” Manfred said. “I understand that people may have different opinions on this. It’s part of a larger program designed to look at the game in a non-traditional way.”

Arraez and Buxton spiced up their looks with some unusual footwear, with Arraez sporting cleats with the Venezuelan flag on them and Buxton sporting lime green baseball shoes.

Also prepare for another notable change next year, recalled Manfred. MLB will begin allowing teams to add small logos from an announcer starting next year.

“It’s a big enough source of revenue that it’s really impossible for the sport to ignore it,” Manfred said. “And that’s the truth.”

Etc.

• Had Tuesday’s game been tied after nine innings, the winner would have been decided with a brief home run derby, three batters per team, three pitchers per batter. Both managers were to name their competitors before the game, and each picked non-runners, players who would be less likely to sit around for a few hours before throwing a bat again.

LA Manager dusty baker of the Astros chose its own outfielder, Kyle Tuckerwith a pair of Mariners, outfielder Julio Rodriguez and first baseman France. NL Manager Brian Snitker also chose an outfielder from his own team, Ronald Acuna Jr.with the Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber and Mets first baseman Pete Alonzo.

• It was the second consecutive season that a former Twins pitcher represented the Texas Rangers in the All-Star Game. Kyle Gibsonwho spent seven seasons at Minnesota, pitched a scoreless third inning in the AL’s 5-2 win at Denver last July, while Martin Perezwho won 10 games in 2019, his only season with the Twins, struck out all three batters he faced in the fifth inning on Tuesday.

The world had the opportunity this week to peer 13 billion years into our past after the James Webb Space Telescope captured the deepest infrared image of the universe.

“Webb’s image is approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length, a tiny piece of the vast universe,” NASA said.

The JWST, considered a successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, captured the galaxies shown in Webb’s first deep field in 12.5 hours.

In what seems like an equally short amount of time, images taken by the telescope have appeared on light panels, sweatshirts, fanny packs and mugs. Other renowned space images, such as the Pillars of Creation, have also become staples on products: puzzles, pillowcases, jewelry and all sorts of other trinkets.

Retailers are free to use these images as they are in the public domain. NASA images — as well as video, audio, and other content — are generally not copyrighted, according to the agency’s website.

How changes in manufacturing have changed online stores

On-demand manufacturing, a production model, has allowed some online sellers to become more nimble than ever, building listings in days. They don’t have to worry about how many items to pre-order or if they’ll be able to sell all of their inventory.

Within 48 hours of unveiling Webb’s first deep field, the StemCell Science Shop online store listed a fanny pack and sweatshirt with the image. He also announced that he would be giving away free Deep Field posters with every purchase this week.

“Just as a magazine might jump to the latest gossip news, or an app might jump to the latest software update, it’s our responsibility to jump to the latest scientific observations,” said Terry Mudge, owner of StemCell ScienceShop. , a five-employee operation that also has an Etsy store.

Mudge opened her store in 2015, inspired by her love of science. Growing up, he remembers being captivated by a book full of images from the Hubble Space Telescope.

The store uses a make-to-order manufacturer called Gooten, named after the inventor of the printing press, Johannes Gutenberg. Gooten is one of a series of companies that offer these services, including Printful, CustomCat, and Prodigi.

Companies like Gooten print the fabric, cut it, assemble the product to order, and then ship it directly to customers.

“It’s been really great for companies like mine that want to offer apparel and stuff without it being our main income. It’s just kind of a fun thing for our customers,” Mudge said.

Gooten, he explained, allows him to do this without requiring his store to pre-purchase large amounts of merchandise in advance. They don’t have to guess what sizes people will want and it creates less waste.

“Products ship as soon as they’re assembled, which usually only takes a few days,” Mudge said. “Everything is made in the United States, and that saves us from having stagnant inventory. It’s a win-win everywhere.

Anna D’Elia, who sells merchandise featuring images from the James Webb Telescope, also uses on-demand manufacturing to fulfill orders.

This week on her ProductiveSlacker store, she uploaded listings of mugs, leggings, yoga mats and Bluetooth speakers that feature both First Deep Field and the Carina Nebula, which was also taken by the James Telescope. Webb. (The Hubble Telescope also took images of the star-forming region, but recently released images show it in more detail.)

While some online sellers may use on-demand businesses, others may have the ability to create products in-house. It’s now easier than ever to own a high-quality printer or other equipment needed to produce these products quickly, said Lorynn Divita, associate professor of apparel design and merchandising at Baylor University.

“That’s why so many small sellers can exist in this market,” Divita said. “Now anyone can have a store.”

How lucrative is this market?

While a method like make-to-order is convenient for sellers, it’s not necessarily cost-effective.

Mudge said the store was roughly breaking even for Webb’s Deep Field products. Their team actually makes bigger profits on items that aren’t made to order, like their subscription boxes, periodic table element samples, and fossils.

“But it’s always fun to have additional trending things, like the Webb Deep Field, available,” he said.

D’Elia, who just launched her shop last year, said it hasn’t been that lucrative so far. The New Jersey resident works as a school counselor and runs her shop as a side hobby.

So far, she has raked in around $2,500 in profit. “I would love to do this for a living. But I don’t think I could live off Etsy,” D’Elia said.

It’s not the most profitable business, but online sellers who use public domain images avoid the risks of inappropriate use of copyrighted material.

“It’s definitely a safe market,” Divita said. “If found guilty of copyright infringement, they may have to pay damages as well as attorneys’ fees and court costs. And for a small seller like an Etsy seller, that could put them out of business.

There will be many more images from space to come – this is just the start of the James Webb Space Telescope.

Astronomers, after seeing the telescope’s capabilities, will likely have “more challenging or daunting targets,” Brett Tingley wrote for Space.com.

“Perhaps the greatest immediate source of value will be for scientists and science in general – it will propel the careers of some scientists and universities and help us discover important new facts about the universe,” Abhishek said. Nagaraj, assistant professor in the organization management group at the University of California, Berkeley.

And that is priceless.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers in Indianapolis and Louisville this week seized 178 counterfeit championship rings and 171 counterfeit professional sports jerseys that, if genuine, would have had value combined Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $288,350.

The first shipments arrived on the night of July 11, when CBP agents in Indianapolis discovered 108 counterfeit jerseys from multiple teams in the National Basketball Association (NBA), Major League Baseball (MLB), and National Football League ( NFL). These counterfeits were all destined for a residence in Bakersfield, California.

Meanwhile, CBP officers in Louisville were preventing 63 counterfeit MLB jerseys from reaching their destination, a residence in University Park, Illinois. The following night, CBP officers in Louisville discovered a shipment bound for West Chapel, Florida that contained 178 counterfeit championship rings from MLB’s Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox and St. Louis, Boston Celtics of the NBA and the University of Georgia.

All of the shipments arrived from various locations in China, CBP noted. Officers found them all to be counterfeit based on various observations, such as incorrect description of goods, declared value, packaging, poor quality materials, substandard printing, and demonstrated practices such than shipping a commercial quantity of items to a residential address.

“Shipments like these prey on the many sports fans across the country who may be duped into paying high prices for inauthentic products,” said LaFonda D. Sutton-Burke, director of field operations. at the Chicago Field Office. “I am extremely proud of these officers’ determination to stop illicit shipments and our commitment to protecting the American economy.”

CBP said the rapid growth of e-commerce makes it easy for consumers to search and purchase millions of products through online sellers, but this easy access gives counterfeit and pirated products more ways to enter the market. American economy. Counterfeit products fund smugglers and organized crime members, while consumers often believe they are buying a genuine product but quickly realize the item is substandard.

“Counterfeiters only care about making a profit,” said Thomas Mahn, Port of Louisville Director. “They don’t care what effect their fake product has on you, your family, or the economy. Our officers are well trained to find seizures like these to further our mission of protecting the American public.”

In fiscal year 2021, CBP seized 27,107 shipments with violations related to intellectual property rights (IPRs). If the seized products were genuine, the total MSRP of the items would have been valued at over $3.3 billion. This represents a 152% increase from 2020, when goods worth MSRP $1.31 billion were seized for IPR infringement.

A return to pre-pandemic trade levels and an overall increase in the number of counterfeit product seizures by CBP account for the significant increase in MSRP. Additionally, adversaries seek to exploit an increase in volume, threatening U.S. economic interests with risks in the form of IPR infringement, as well as security risks from shoddy and untested consumer products. In 2021, 89% of IPR seizures were found in express shipments and international mail shipments.

Last year, apparel and accessories topped the list for the number of seizures with 30,681, accounting for 30% of all IPR seizures, CBP said. Sold online and in stores, counterfeit products harm the US economy, cost Americans their jobs, threaten consumer health and safety, and fund criminal activity.
