Springtime for us at Orsi PR means a rebirth of some of our favorite things from one of our marquee clients, Tommy Bahama… the Spring collection of swimwear, new refreshing cocktails at the restaurants and one of their most popular collections – the MLB spring training shirts. March brings the big leaguers to Florida and Arizona and to commemorate America’s favorite pastime, Tommy Bahama has once again teamed up with Major League Baseball for the release of all new Spring Training apparel for both the Cactus & Grapefruit Leagues. These new releases continue the successful relationship with Major League Baseball Properties, to establish a co-branded collection of premium, collectible apparel that commemorates the love of the game.

This year, Tommy Bahama introduces a Spring Training half zip sweatshirt to the baseball inspired collection. Both the original panel back shirt and newly introduced half zip have been created with custom Cactus & Grapefruit League designs for the 2012 Spring Training season.

Editors like the collection as much as customers do. Orsi PR has already secured placements in So Scottsdale! and Where Phoenix/Scottsdale as well as local newspapers … and Spring Training is still a week away!

The limited edition Spring Training apparel is available exclusively at http://www.tommybahama.com/TBG/Men/MLB_Shop.jsp and select Tommy Bahama retail locations throughout Arizona and Florida.

2012 has brought absolutely gorgeous weather to us at Orsi in Southern California. Sunny clear days and temps in the 80s have us fantasizing about tropical beaches and exotic getaways. These daydreams are multiplied as visions from the Tommy Bahama Spring Women’s swim ad campaign float across our desks. Editors and producers get ready… some seriously sexy and sophisticated swim pitches are coming your way.

Happy New Year!

Santa may be making his list and checking it twice, but here at Orsi Public Relations we have some holiday feasting ideas that are very, very nice. One of our marquee clients, Tommy Bahama, has some merry recipes that you will want to serve up for your holiday gatherings.

Let’s jump right to the good stuff, the Tommy Bahama Malted Chocolate Pie. This tasty treat begins with a chocolate cookie crust filled with a mocha mousse and topped with an English Toffee Crumble. Sure to be a hit with your guests, this pie has already won awards nationwide, most recently at the Taste of the Town in Myrtle Beach, SC and was featured on two news programs.

The chocoholic dream gets not once, not twice, but three times better with the Tommy Bahama Triple Chocolate Cake. This layered cake is made of the richest chocolate, interspersed with chocolate ganache frosting, topped with chocolate cake crumbs and finished off with a dollop of fresh chocolate whip cream, garnished with chocolate curls. This masterpiece was highlighted in Laguna Beach Magazine this month.

Nothing gets you into the spirit of the season like some holiday spirits. At Tommy Bahama they take your traditional eggnog and whip it up with a taste of the tropics to make Coconut Eggnog. To learn how to make these holiday delights and more go to www.tommybahama.com.

From all of us here at Orsi Public Relations we wish you and yours a very happy (and delicious) holiday season!

He always tees off in Tommy Bahama and now Tom Lehman is the only player to ever win the prestigious Player of the Year on all three tours – the Nationwide Tour (1991), the PGA TOUR (1996) and now Champions Tour (2011).  Since his debut as a professional golfer in 1983, Lehman has established himself as one of the premier players in golf, continuing this through his three seasons on the Champions Tour, with five wins and 25 top ten finishes in just 43 events, including two Champions Tour Majors titles.

Tommy Bahama, whose spirited mantra to make life one long weekend ™,  has become a staple for the discerning golfer’s wardrobe and for Lehman, who has worn the brand since 2002.

“It’s been a terrific year and I’m honored to be named Player of the Year by the players,” says Tom Lehman.  “I also appreciate the support of my friends at Tommy Bahama and am proud to be associated with a company whose attitudes towards life and golf are similar to mine.”
