Glenmuir's 15 months of hard work came to a brilliant climax on Sunday as Jose Maria Olazabal's European Ryder Cup side triumphed at Chicago's Medinah Country Club after a stunning final-day comeback.
The European team's clothing and knitwear for the 39th Ryder Cup was designed and crested by Glenmuir, including the Sunday singles outfits, which carried the embroidery 'Seve Ballesteros: 1957-2011', five stars signifying the Spaniard's five major triumphs and the famous Seve first-pump silhouette.
Glenmuir employs more than 80 people, any many of them were directly involved in the company's biggest logistical exercise from its base in Lanark, Scotland. 'A Diary of Design'
June 2011 - Glenmuir's Managing Director and Design Manager, Colin Mee and Ann Miller, meet the European Tour to discuss a design overview. August 2011 - The idea is born to clothe the European players in dark blue sweaters, trousers and white shirts for the Sunday singles in honour of the great Seve.
May 2012 - It is agreed the players' left sleeves will house the tribute to Seve. Fittings take place with some payers at Wentworth even though the European team hasn't yet been cast in stone.
