Consilium clothing - experts in digitally printed clothing.A basketball championship in the US has launched a special collection of printed clothing to raise money for charity. The Bartlesville Sports Commission hosts the Lone Star Conference Men and Women's Basketball Championships which runs from March 4th to 8th. During last year's championship, all 250 volunteers wore brightly coloured printed t-shirts while on duty at the event. Bob Pomeroy, tournament chairman, explained to the Examiner Enterprise that he was "surprised" after a "number of requests" came in from fans who wanted to purchase one of the printed t-shirts. This has motivated the event organisers to produce extra printed t-shirts this year so that they can be sold at the championship games on March 6th and 7th. "As the discussion went on it was decided that we would not only sell the volunteer t-shirts but we would donate the money to a worthy, local organisation," Mr Pomeroy said. "The t-shirts this year are going to be hot pink and we think they will be a huge hit with the fans. We are hopeful of selling a lot of them to help this great organisation."Members of the Montana West basketball team recently wore a dedicated range of printed clothing to support assistant coach Craig Finberg who is battling with pancreatic cancer.
