Members Only Custom Golf Shirt
"REP18 stands out for their remarkable ability to weave a golf course's legacy into a logo and golf shirt design. They flawlessly integrated our history into every aspect of the design process, ensuring my satisfaction at every step. The result is a design that eloquently encapsulates our course's heritage, offering our members an exclusive symbol of pride. The impeccable embroidery and top-tier shirt quality exceeded our high standards. I wholeheartedly recommend REP18 to other courses seeking a design that resonates with their unique history.
Mike and Dan have been fantastic to work with on several different projects at Raspberry Falls, they are golfers first and top tier business people second. They understand our challenges and standards and do a fantastic job of listening to us and incorporating our feedback into everything they produce for us. This has been very refreshing for us!”

In 2023, Willy Lutz - the Director of Golf at Raspberry Falls Golf & Hunt Club in Leesburg, VA - had the idea to create a custom logo and golf shirt for his members. Willy wanted each detail of the golf shirt to represent the uniqueness and history of his course. Willy turned to REP18 for the project.
Raspberry Falls didn’t have a members only logo, so the first step was to create a new logo that resonated with course’s membership.
The property was formerly a raspberry farm and a host to fox hunts. As a nod to the property’s history, Willy and the REP18 team designed a logo of a fox eating a raspberry. The red buttons and inside-collar were carefully selected to match the raspberry in the fox’s mouth.
The architect of Raspberry Falls is the renowned Gary Player, who famously wears black and white. To pay homage, a white logo script and a black shirt was selected.
The current Raspberry Falls logo is iconic and everyone felt it was important to include it in the shirt design. We chose to place the raspberries icon in the current logo on the left sleeve so that members could still identify with its current branding.
In addition to creating the logo and golf shirt, the REP18 team helped Willy communicate with his members throughout the process. The REP18 team created a website where members could make preorders and helped write email copy that Willy used to excite his membership. REP18 delivered high quality golf shirts in the Fall of 2023 that have received strong feedback from members.
