Case Study: Sports Licensing Suite achieves faster, compliant sports merchandise design with Evolve Blue’s Adobe Plugin Suite

Sports Licensing Suite (SLS) streamlines Adobe workflows with Evolve Blue in a 10+ year partnership

Sports Licensing Suite (SLS) faced a significant challenge in sports merchandise design, where designers had to manually and painstakingly replicate artwork across dozens of team variants while ensuring licensed color accuracy and print-ready files. This manual process was slow, error-prone, and did not scale. To solve this, they partnered with Evolve Blue.

Evolve Blue built and evolved a comprehensive Adobe plugin suite for SLS over a 10+ year partnership. The solution, built with Adobe CEP/UXP SDKs, included the Team Breakout plugin to automate design replication, color tools for compliance, and a template manager. This removed hours of manual work per project, drastically reduced errors, and accelerated time-to-market, resulting in a production suite that has grown for over a decade.
