Un i f o rms Sparkly Tees Adds Bedazzle To Scrubs A different take on standard scrubs, the GLITTER- Sport-Tek Ladies Sport-Wick , right, is a stretch contrast full-zip jacket featuring a hospital logo on the front and a fun team logo on the back, which reads, “I’m a Pre-Op Nurse. What’s Your Superpower?” The Sport Tek jacket pairs well with a coordinating logoed Port & Company shirt and elastic-waist pants, provided by supplier SanMar. This custom order was fulfilled for Summerlin Hospital’s pediatric department in Las Vegas by Las Vegas-based distributor Sparkly Tees. “This gives the hospital staff something more modern than the basic scrub top and cardigan,” says Kylie Waltz, production and marketing manager of Sparkly Tees. On some jackets, Sparkly Tees also imprinted the recipient’s title—i.e. “nurse” or “tech”—ensuring the wearer’s role and team are visible to others if needed.

Made from 95-percent polyester and five-percent spandex, the shirt is lightweight—only 2.75 ounces—with details including moisture-wicking properties, a spread collar and bust darts, single-needle tailoring and a shirttail hem.
