Our History

The year was 1980, and Karen Depray, a recent Graphic Arts graduate and promotional products employee in Hartford, saw an opportunity: there was a need for a company that could deliver high quality custom screen printed promotional products and embroidered clothing, on-time, and done right the first time. It was there that Connecticut Advertising was born.

Karen knew from day one that quality work was an absolute necessity for her customers. She also realized early on that embroidering and screen printing in-house meant that she could control the delivery of orders in a way that her larger competitors simply could not. Simply stated, Karen grew and differentiated the business on service and delivery. No matter how tight the deadline or how little lead time, Connecticut Advertising/USA Sportswear has always had one answer: yes, we can do that!

Today

In recent years we have added “USA Sportswear” to our name so that our breadth of offerings would be clearer. Even so, our employees and our company have a singular focus: Promotional Products. Our 30+ years of experience as an organization, as well as the hands on approach of our owners, means that customers will receive the utmost care with a flexible, personalized approach. Many of our customers have been with us for all of those 30 years, and we hope you will join us!
