Rebranding / Legacy Items

Managing Clothing Items After a Rebrand

When companies go through a rebrand, or even a smaller brand update, this often leaves businesses with large volumes of legacy uniforms, workwear and branded clothing.

From full identity changes to logo updates or colour changes, previously issued items can quickly become outdated.

While no longer usable, these products still carry your identity, creating risk if not handled properly. RGI supports businesses in clearing legacy branded items through secure, controlled processes, helping you move forward with confidence.

Supporting Sustainable Outcomes

We support businesses going through rebrands, brand updates or logo changes, including:

  • Full rebrands and identity changes
  • Logo updates or redesigns
  • Colour palette changes across uniforms and workwear
  • Event or campaign-specific branding transitions
  • Phased rollouts where old and new branding overlap

These changes often result in surplus stock that can no longer be used, requiring a clear and considered approach to how items are managed.

What This Typically Involves

  • Outdated uniforms and staff clothing
  • Workwear linked to previous branding
  • Branded merchandise and promotional textiles
  • Logo-applied garments and printed items
  • Stock held across multiple sites or locations

These projects are often time-sensitive and require a coordinated approach to remove stock efficiently.

A Controlled Approach

We provide a structured way to manage legacy branded items following a rebrand or brand update.

  • Collection from one or multiple locations
  • Consolidation of legacy stock
  • Segregation based on product type and condition
  • Defined pathways depending on brand requirements

The focus is on removing risk while keeping the process simple, controlled and scalable.

Scalable Delivery

From one-off clearances to large, multi-site projects.

Beyond Clearance: Circular Options

Where appropriate, alternative routes can be explored.

Some items may be suitable for:

  • Reuse through controlled export channels
  • Upcycling into new products or internal initiatives
  • Creative or community-led projects

These options are always assessed carefully and only used where they align with brand requirements and product suitability.

Protectex®: Secure by Design

Our approach is underpinned by Protectex®, our framework for secure textile and product destruction.

Protectex® ensures branded items are handled within controlled environments, with full traceability from collection through to final outcome.

This provides confidence that legacy products are managed securely and do not re-enter circulation.
