Custom Apparel & Awards in Newport, KY

It’s one thing to slap your logo on a T-shirt. It’s another to create a piece that people actually want to wear, that becomes part of their identity, on the field, in the workplace, or at the finish line of a 5K. Custom apparel and awards are as much about visibility as meaning. A poorly stitched jersey or a brittle, cookie-cutter trophy says, “We didn’t try”. On the other hand, a moisture-wicking, sublimated team uniform or a custom-cut acrylic award says, “You mattered”.


Newport is a place where family-owned businesses line Monmouth Street, where Little League championships are a big deal, and where local fundraisers often pack more energy than corporate galas. Hence, customization here is expected. From corporate polos embroidered with the perfect thread sheen to trophies with inside jokes laser-engraved on the base, personalization is how Newport expresses pride.


There’s also a practical angle here. Custom-branded staff wear adds cohesion and professionalism. A well-designed award can help retention, people remember being recognized, and how. Local schools, athletic programs, and small businesses aren’t ordering hundreds of cookie-cutter pieces. They need someone who understands scale, context, and nuance.


That’s exactly what Custom Trophy / Active Edge offers. Located right here in Newport, we’re the people locals trust when they want something done right, not rushed. We problem-solve, design, suggest better materials, and ask the right questions.

About - Newport, KY

Perched at the confluence of the Ohio and Licking Rivers, Newport, KY has lived many lives, including frontier outpost, industrial stronghold, bootlegging hotbed, and now, a thriving cultural and entertainment hub just across the river from Cincinnati. Founded in the late 18th century by James Taylor Jr. and named after Christopher Newport of Jamestown fame, the city once rivaled Louisville in size and ambition. 



Its streets have hosted both steel strikes and speakeasies, mafia bosses and militia tanks, and a flood so devastating in 1937 that a massive floodwall still anchors its skyline. In the mid-20th century, Monmouth Street earned Newport the nickname “Sin City” for its glittering casinos and adult nightlife. But by the 1990s, Newport began rewriting its story. The Newport Aquarium, Newport on the Levee, and the striking New Riff Distillery now welcome families, tourists, and entrepreneurs to a city that has never stopped evolving, and still wears its wild past like a badge of honor.

These people are just amazing. My daughter's letterman jacket came back wrong and they broke their back to get it corrected. They stayed in contact with me the whole time and let me know step by step what was going on with the jacket. They even offered me a partial refund. I couldn't be happier and will definitely use them in the future as well as let every one know they are the ones to use. I would definitely use this company.
