Red: Bold, Confident and Passionate

Divided we fall.....Not one but one all.....when all's done.....We all bleed red.....We all bleed red.... (Xentrix - All Bleed Red).

Red is the universal color of life, power and passion: it invokes contrasting feelings of attraction and fear; life and death; energy and anger. Masculine, stimulating and strong, red is raw, primal and bold - it exudes confidence, control and intensity.

Russia's 'Red Army' had a larger-than-life reputation among both allies and enemies, while China's massive military force is built on the foundations of their own formidable 'Red Army' - both these forces harnessed the energizing power of red to portray confidence and invoke fear in their foes.

Red is a decidedly 'male' color, making it a popular choice among sports teams, business leaders and nations. Over 70 percent of countries have the color red in their national flag, while athletes wearing red have long been rumored to enjoy a competitive advantage - in fact, a German study confirmed that teams sporting red score about 10 percent more than their opponents.

Ready to level-up your look with the age-old color of power and passion? Here's some red-powered custom shirt design tips that will take you from the boardroom to bedroom:

Punctuate a Power Suit: Nothing says leadership like a classic-collar red pinstriped dress shirt crafted from superfine Egyptian Giza Cotton paired with a solid dark gray tie and matching suit. Boost your style factor with a personalized monogram and for extra cred add a double-button cuff.

Level Up Your Down Time: Chill out in confidence with a timeless Carnation red-and-white checked shirt with rolled-up sleeves and a custom button-down collar - perfect for those after-work BBQ's and weekends at the beach.
