We are so proud to have been a part of the Super Bowl XLVI Halftime Show! We collaborated with designer B. Åkerlund to create the uniforms for Cee Lo Green and the drumline that appeared with Madonna in Indianapolis on February 5th.

What an honor to be a part of an American Tradition.

DeMoulin Uniforms Featured

Sunday was a proud day for DeMoulin Brothers of Greenville.

Uniforms manufactured by the company were worn during the halftime show of the Super Bowl football game in Indianapolis, IN.

The show featured music artists Madonna and Cee Lo Green.

Don Adamski, from DeMoulin Brothers, reported that 100 band uniforms were made by the company. They were designed by B. Åkerlund, in collaboration with DeMoulin.

According to Adamski, the order was received in mid-December of last year. Employees of the company had to work quickly to complete the order, but they accomplished the job. The uniforms were shipped in mid-January.

Adamski advised that DeMoulin made a custom uniform for Cee Lo Green.

Those associated with DeMoulin Brothers did not know until the halftime show was performed which, if any, of the uniforms would be worn.

Their work was on display during a portion of the show. After Madonna sang a couple songs, a group of drummers, wearing DeMoulin uniforms, marched on the stage while Cee Lo Green came out in his special outfit, sporting a large "C" on the front of it.

Adamski watched the show on television and thought the uniforms looked very good. He said the company was already receiving many compliments on Monday morning.

The wearing of DeMoulin Brothers uniforms at important events in not unusual. Over the years, this has occured many times.

Recently, there were five bands who wore DeMoulin uniforms in the 2012 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, CA.

DeMoulin annually makes the uniforms worn by the musicians in the U.S. Army All-American Marching Band.

The band consists of 125 high school seniors, musicians and colorguard members, who are selected from across the country. The band performs at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl high school football game.

The most recent bowl game was played on January 7 and was broadcast on NBC television.

DeMoulin is a sponsor and the manufacturer of the uniforms for The Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps, which is based in Pennsylvania. The Cadets won the 2011 World Championship in the Drum Corps International Tour.
