Poker experience firm SpadeClub has launched a design contest to create a new range of printed clothing. Members of the club were previously offered the chance to flex their creative muscles by providing some personalised designs for printed t-shirts. This was timed to coincide with the launch of SpadeClub's new store and around 100 members' submitted designs for consideration. The SpadeClub community can vote for their favourite design from a shortlist of 20 drawn up by a panel of judges.Following this, the design which attracts the most votes will be then be immortalised in a range of printed clothing to be sold in the store. The winner will also receive one year's exclusive membership to SpadeClub, as well as a printed t-shirt bearing their design.A survey recently conducted by US apparel firm BlueCotton revealed that four out of five people have at least one item of printed clothing they hold onto for sentimental reasons.
