The Russian language course at Sputnik (www.sputnik-centar.hr) is the best choice for those who value their time and seek quality. Learning Russian through Sputnik’s method makes the language acquisition process simple and fun. As a specialized center for teaching Russian, Sputnik allows its students not only to learn the language and script but also to get acquainted with Russian culture and customs. Another great thing Sputnik has provided its students are branded hoodies made just for them. Why and how the Russian Language Center decided to take on this project, in collaboration with Blue Frame, is presented in today’s blog.
- How did you hear about Blue Frame?
I have been following Blue Frame’s collaborations with some Zagreb faculties and the merchandise you made for them for some time. I thought they looked so great that I would wear them myself even if I weren’t (or hadn’t been) a student of that faculty. That was the moment the idea was born that we would like to create a hoodie representing one of our centers, specifically the Sputnik Russian Language Center, while keeping it stylish and modern to also appeal to other enthusiasts of what we do—teaching Russian language and culture.
2. What influenced your decision to work with us?
Since our work is extremely dynamic, schedules are often full of events, and new ideas constantly emerge, it was very important for us to have someone who would professionally (and quickly) guide us through the process and be available for all questions regarding this project.
The first encounter was, of course, through the website, which is very informative, clear, and easy to navigate. After a phone call and detailed explanations regarding hoodie quality, print types, and delivery times, we knew we wanted to work with Blue Frame.

3. Would you recommend us, and if so, why? (product and service quality, friendliness)
Absolutely! Your offer provides a great quality-to-price ratio, and in addition, your availability for all questions, speed of delivery, and friendliness are all excellent.
4. It’s very interesting that Sputnik Russian Language Center showed interest in its own merch. Why is it important to you that members wear branded hoodies?
Sputnik Russian Language Center has been operating for 15 years and is a recognizable place for learning Russian, exploring, and enjoying Russian culture. We knew the hoodies would be a perfect hit for all our members who study Russian with us, participate in our trips to Russia, and attend Russian activities and workshops.

5. Why specifically blue and white?
They are actually the colors of our logo, including the Russian domes on it, which remind our members of the place where they learn Russian. Also, the blue we chose for our logo is a pleasant and beautiful shade, and we were confident it would suit people very well.
6. Have you considered using different colors for different languages alongside the existing colors?
Each of our centers operating within the Sputnik Institute will have its own unique merch story, and we look forward to showcasing what we’re preparing in the near future. The Sputnik Russian Language Center will certainly have other interesting merch offerings in addition to the hoodies.
