Mark your calendar! National Uniform Day returns on Wednesday, September 17, 2025. Presented by the Network Association of Uniform Manufacturers and Distributors (NAUMD), this annual celebration shines a spotlight on the vital role uniforms play across countless industries—and the people who wear them with pride.
This year’s event is already gaining momentum. TRSA (Textile Rental Services Association), URA (Uniform Retailers Association), and AWSAM (Association of Women in Safety, Apparel, and Manufacturing) are all supporting the celebration alongside NAUMD. These associations represent a broad cross-section of the uniform, textile, and workwear industries, and their involvement underscores the growing recognition of this initiative across sectors.
You can find more details at nationaluniformday.com. A Participation Toolkit—with logos, sample posts, and ideas for how to join the celebration—will be added to the site this month. The toolkit is designed to help companies prepare and get the most out of their involvement.
Why Should Companies Participate?
Celebrate the Workforce.
Uniform Day is a chance to acknowledge the everyday heroes in healthcare, hospitality, law enforcement, transportation, education, food service, utilities, and more. These are the people whose uniforms represent their commitment and professionalism. Participating gives your organization the opportunity to recognize and thank your team members, customers, or clients who wear a uniform every day. Even a simple gesture—like sharing a photo or message—can boost morale and make uniformed workers feel seen and appreciated.
Strengthen Company Culture and Brand Values.
By celebrating National Uniform Day, your company sends a clear message about what it stands for. Whether you’re a manufacturer, distributor, service provider, or end user, honoring the role of uniforms shows you value tradition, purpose, and professionalism. It’s a meaningful way to build employee pride internally and project your brand’s values externally.
Engage Your Customers and Community.
National Uniform Day offers a timely, relevant reason to start conversations with customers, partners, and your broader community. You can highlight customer stories, spotlight employees, run a giveaway, or offer a promotion. These types of activities help humanize your brand and create authentic engagement that goes beyond typical marketing efforts.
Demonstrate Industry Leadership.
By participating, you show that your company is connected to the larger story of the uniform and workwear industry. Joining National Uniform Day puts your organization in step with other leaders who recognize the importance of the workforce behind the garments. It also gives you a platform to showcase your innovations, contributions, and commitments—whether in product design, service, safety, or sustainability.
Participation can take many forms, and every effort helps grow awareness. We encourage companies to promote the event in advance, engage on the day itself, and share a recap after. It’s about building momentum and visibility for the people and products that keep essential work moving.
Are you part of an association or organization that wants to join the list of supporters? We’d love to include you. Please reach out to nationaluniformday@naumd.com to be added.
