Brand Tone

Edgy & Rebellious, Confident & Bold, Informal & Relatable (to its niche), Enthusiastic & Passionate

Brand Values

• •Individuality & Uniqueness
• •Bold Self-Expression
• •Quality Craftsmanship
• •Community & Altered Team Spirit
• •Customer-Focused (within their model)

Best Practices

• •Embrace the Edge: Consistently use bold, confident, and slightly rebellious language. Don't shy away from slang or direct statements that resonate with an audience seeking an alternative to mainstream sports apparel.
• •Be Unapologetically Niche: Reiterate that the designs are 'not for everyone.' This builds exclusivity and strengthens the bond with the target audience who appreciate that unique stance.
• •Visual and Verbal Alignment: Ensure that the edgy tone of the copy is perfectly matched by the visuals – product photography, website design, and social media aesthetics should all scream 'Dead Threads.'
• •Community as Megaphone: Leverage the 'DT gang' (customers and ambassadors). Encourage and showcase user-generated content that naturally reflects the brand's attitude and values. Let their authentic voices amplify the brand.
• •Direct and Clear, Even in Policy: Maintain the confident, straightforward tone in all communications, including customer service and policy explanations. Frame the 'made-to-order' nature not as a limitation, but as part of what makes their apparel unique and less mass-produced.

Social Perception
