TRSA is one of 10 organizations across the apparel, textile, uniform and equipment sectors that have joined forces to celebrate National Uniform Day, an annual event recognizing the tens of millions of people who wear a uniform or workwear as part of their daily jobs. From police officers and healthcare providers to hospitality staff, utility workers and delivery drivers, these uniformed professionals help keep the world moving – and they deserve to be seen, supported and celebrated.
National Uniform Day 2025 will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 17, marking the second year of this growing industrywide initiative. First launched in 2024 by the Network Association of Uniform Manufacturers and Distributors (NAUMD), the day quickly gained momentum as companies across the supply chain – from textile mills to retail storefronts – took part in recognizing the people who rely on uniforms to do their jobs with confidence and care.
Each of the participating associations supports the uniform and workwear industry in its own way, spanning the full supply chain from raw materials to finished garments and services.
Along with NAUMD and TRSA, the following groups support National Uniform Day:
- Advanced Textiles Association (ATA)
- American Textile Machinery Association (ATMA)
- American Workwear & Safety Apparel Manufacturers (AWSAM)
- Americas Apparel Producers’ Network (AAPN)
- Sewn Products Equipment & Suppliers of the Americas (SPESA)
- Southern Textile Association (STA)
- Uniform Retailers Association (URA)
- S. Sewn Products Industry (SEAMS)
In 2024, member companies across the country participated in the first-ever National Uniform Day. Many shared photos and videos of uniformed employees and customers, wrote tributes on social media, and ran special discounts for uniformed professionals. Internal employee appreciation events were held by suppliers and manufacturers alike, while others used the day as an opportunity to spotlight the often-overlooked roles that uniforms play in safety and workplace identity.
