The energy was electric at the 2025 Sourcing at Magic trade show in Las Vegas and was certainly one for the books. This show marked World Emblem’s fifth time exhibiting at the show—and it was undoubtedly one of our best experiences yet!

A Fresh New Look
This year, we gave our booth a subtle but impactful facelift. Our fresh new graphics elevated our look and revamped our industry-focused experience. Our showcase centered around fashion-forward patch designs that align with what’s hot in the apparel world.

Pick your patch
We revolutionized how we introduce ourselves—allowing attendees to pick out their favorite patch from a curated selection of 24 unique designs to apply on a cap. This was a smash hit, making our booth a personable and memorable stop on the show floor as attendees repped their custom caps.

Networking & Celebrity Encounters
Trade shows are about more than just showcasing products—they’re about building relationships. We had the pleasure of meeting so many new faces and reconnecting with past attendees who made a point to visit us again. Strengthening these relationships is always a highlight for us!

We also had some well-known visitors stop by our booth! AJ from the Backstreet Boys took the time to chat with one of our sales reps, and Cam Newton paid us another visit, marking his second stop at our booth after last September’s Sourcing at Magic show. Seeing familiar faces and forging new connections made this event even more special.

Innovative Fashion Trends
This season, patches were a sensation in the fashion scene at Magic. Letterman jackets decorated in patches were everywhere, proving this nostalgic trend is here to stay. We also saw a fresh take on accessories with designer handbags that featured custom patches—adding a high-fashion edge to the use of appliques. One of the most striking trends we noticed was sequin tracksuits, giving athleisure a bold twist. These innovative uses of patches and emblems reinforced their versatility and growing presence in the fashion sector.

Looking Ahead
As we wrap up another successful Sourcing at Magic show, we’re already looking forward to the next one! With so much inspiration and valuable connections made, we can’t wait to see how these trends evolve and how World Emblem continues to shape the future of decoration solutions. Until next time, Magic!
